be thoroughly tested during the com.
ing summer. Mr.. Green Ward, a
colored gentleman of North Carolina,
who has had many years experience
in the cultivation and cure of the
weed, has rented ten.acre patch on
Mr.. G. F. Gilespie's farm, Wing Hill,
and has already commenced breaking
ground, so to speak, for the work. Mr..
Ward has his family with him and is
occupying one of Mr.. G.'s houses. He
has unbouDded faith in the enterprise,
and believes that there is more good
