are 20 hogs this year where there was
one three years ago. There are ten
times as many cattle as three years ago.
There have been about so car loads of

year.
L. S. Nelson, Real Estate Dealer: In
the five years that I have lived in
Adrian, have never seen things look
50 favorable for the town and the west
end of Mobiles county, as row. I am
receiving letters of inquiry from all
parts of the East, from practical farm
ers, who want farms to settle down on
and make farming their business. and
they have the means to buy stock and
put up good buildings. I find, too.
that the majority of farmers are in
better shape than eyer before. Most OF
them have all necessary seed, machin-
cry and horses to carry on their farms.
They have paid up debts contracted
during grasshopper times. They are
dropping off wheat raising and going
into stock and coarse grains. We have
good prospects for another railroad,
and if we get it. tho population of our
town will double in the next year.

tain more pure gold than many "sol;d"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade Of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4s to 10 karats
and 5 or 6 karat case is often sold for II

soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that slight blow will break

We copy the following communi-

p@ 'rs, and give their views and opin-
io. Vt the project, rs it is certainly
deserving of attention:

body where it was-it was in the cut
ting box. So you say you will not adj
vocate a county subscription, but you
give the figures and show up very
plainly what profit it would be to the
people. Now Just let us come right
square at the people. l do not think
there ought to be a county subscrip-
ton, bnt certainly Easley and Pickens
Townships should subscribe to the ex-
tent Of their ability, With Eastatoe and
Pumpkintown Townships, at least half
y scholar. | am in accord with you
and your figures, for if the Railroad
was built, it would be a very short
while until 1t would pay it's own way.
Thirty-five miles Of railroad is no small
item, and really when the figures are
properly shown up it will be Il revenue
instead OF d tax. I did not live in
Pickens County at the time she made
the subscription to the railroad, but l
saw men from Pickens after it was de-
cided that the subscription would have
TO be paid, and heard men say they
intended to leave the county, but they
would have to give away their land.
But now look at the effects; those very
men do not have to give it away, but
do not want to 90, because their lands
have Increased double since that time,
though they pay 8 mills railroad tax.
You seem TO raise an objection TO a
county subscription, or rather hint it.
SO do I, for it does not look right for
The western and eastern townships to
pay an equal tax with those townships
that the road run through, but II you
please, look what has been done for
Hurricane Township, known as Pea
Ridge, by thie rise Of the price Of land.
The extremes Of the county have been
benefited, lands on Pea Ridge have
gone up 100 per cent, and 80 in other
extreme sections, and 1t will still 60 on.
1'he man that expects that these sub
