LIVE STOCK.

The stock interests of the county are
of the greatest Importance. The breed
ing of fine stock has become n general
industry, and not only are the high
grades represented in large numbers.
but choice specimens of pure blOods are
plentiful. The general class of work
horses i'm the county are of high order.
Thoroughbred staIliops are to be found
in all parts of the county. The county
is particularly we'll provided with fine
cattle, all the leading breeds being rep
resented and imported bulls being fire.
quent, while pure breeds are common.
One has but to watch the shipments Of
hogs to see the superior class of these
remunerative animals turned OF by the
thousands.
From the earliest settlement of the
county, in 1872, until the advent of the
agrculturist, in 1884, grazing cattle on
the rich and nutritious grasses, then as
free as air, was the leading industry of
the county, and many men. now luxur-
iating in wealth in the east, laid the
foundations for their fortunes when
herding cattle here.
This county was the home of the
buffalo before civilization drove in ITS
thousands of cattle, and, as is gener-
ally known, where the buffalo used has
invariably proved to be an excellent live
stock country. Even now, cattle can
and do live through the entire season
without feed Of any kind except such as
they gather from the cured buffalo
grass and the pea-vine Of the prairies.
But the stockmen are learning the value
Of feed and shelter and the winter
ranging Of cattle win soon be 4 thing
uf tbe past.

was first introduced here. Last year
was dry season everywhere; but here

sumption and our people are even able
to supply their less fortunate neighbors.
Barber county farmers will sell thous-

A London dispatch of the 10th says:
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone made =
journey from Birmingham to Wolver-
hampton in a carriage drawn by four
horses. They we're heartily cheered
along the route. On arriving at VOL
verhampton Gladstone proceeded to
Drill Hall, where he received a num-
Der of addresses. In replying he was
repeatedly interrupted, the disorder
finally eliminating in an uproar that
compelled him to abruptly close his
remarks Great confusion followed,
the crowd making a rush and demol-
ishing the benches that separated the
members of the press from the public.
Stewards guarded the private eoor by
which Gladstone left the hall. The
ex.premier then proceeded to the rail-
way station, the platform of which
was closely qua ded. and started for
Oxford. At Snowhill the crowd that
had gathered groaned and hooted.
No where in the United States
would the people allow such indignity

1t is expected that not more than
100000 pounds of tobacco will be
raised in Egypt this year, although on
the average, 100000 pounds have
been produced in former seasons. The
decrease is owing to the recent action
of the Khedive in putting tax of
$i57 90 on each acre ofground to this
crop.
