Mr. Thos. M. King, of Hopewell Town
ship, last week killed two Jersey pigs,
twelve months old, that netted him no
pounds of meat. His neighbor, Mr.. VIM.
W. Melton, also killed one of the same
brsed, seventeen months old, that netted
him 472 pounds, and Mr.. J. A. Jolly, Of
the same neighborhood, killed two, eigh-
teen months old, that made him Se1
pounds. This is step in the right direc-
ton, and we wish we could record the
same fact for every farmer in Anderson
County. These gentlemen made this meat
at q very little cost, and it will go long
wsys in helping them pull through the
hard times for the next year. We will
always hear the cry of "hard times" un-
til our farmers raise more corn and hogs
anu buy less provisions from the West.
Les every man in the County follow the
example of these gentlemen, and twelve
months hence our County will be fifty
per cent better Off than it is to-day.
