BERKSHIRE HOGS.
1t is difficult to find any ''scrub"
hogs in the county; nearly every
farmer has a thoroughbred boar,
which has brought the quality of
hogs up to avery high standard.
Hog cholera has been quite fatal
in some sections of the county, in
consequence stock hogs will be
scarce.
THE WHEAT CROP
Was fairly good, at an average
of 81 bushels per acre, though some
farmers made a better yield. E. P.
Parks, near Aspen Hill, realized %
bushels per acre. The crop was es-
timated at 10000 bushels for the
county. Very little wheat has been
sold on account of the low prices
now offered.
Giles has, for long time, been at
the head of the list in the yield of
CORN.
100000 bushels are almost an
nually credited to the county.
Early corn is very fine, but the late
crop will prove a failure. We find
some heavy corn growers here.
N. Smithson is put down for TO-
900 bushels. T. M. Spofford, 5000.
T. B. Wade, John Phillips, T. o.
Alternately, 5000 bushels each.
COTTON.
Is great staple and holds its
own with a death like grip. Capt.
j. r. Crow, one of the leading cot
ton buyers, reports the crop badly
damaged from drouth. Giles pro
duced 5000 bales last year. The
crop is placed at 5000 this year.
THE TRADERS
OF the county are active and
stand we'll with the banks. One of
the interesting enterprises is the
stock yard at Pulaski, conducted by
Morgan & Hopkins. Here the ira
ders and farmers meet and have
their sales. From so to $50 cattle,
sheep, hogs and mules change |
hands here every week, and are
north, the bulk going to |
Messrs. Morgan d Hopkins have
a trading capital of $4,000. |
A. j. White, G. NJ. Robertson, h. A. |
Blow, Thos. Kennedy, Kersey &
Rose, R. H. Ragsdale, Curtis, Al
sup & Co., are the principle traders,
with capital ranging from $4,000 to
to $4,000. Six hundred head e
mules were shipped al
var and 5000 head of cattle. !
Lynnville, Bufords, DeRay, Wales,
Lester and other points along the |
railroad divide up these shipments
of the county. The

bright, newsy paper, and keeps well

THE ST. GILES HOTEL.
Recently reftted with great taste
and elegance by B. G. Steele, is not
only great comfort to the travel
ng public but is a great conven-
ence to the farmer and the stock
raider when he desires to spend a
lay or two in town.
The horse interest of the county
s large and valuable. We will de
