The hunt was begun early on Saturday

named Trotter. The dog took tho bears

stationed the amateur hunters and tho othors
at different points about tho swamp and waited
for Trotter to fetch the game out In less than
quarter OF an hour the old dog began to
make music In the swamp. and soon aftcrward
the bear was heard crashing through tho
brush. He came out not far from George
Showers. one OF the amateurs. The bear's
tracks had not belied the animals size. Show

jumped behind n stump to get a rest for his

with snort and o leap and went back into

The Coumty's Products.

Assistant Secretary Wattles has Just
made the annual report for the County
agricultural society to the State AssO-
citation. From ii we CLEAN the follow
ing report of the number of cars of pro-
duce and grain shipped from the coun-
ty during the year ending Nov. list:

walnut lumber and logs 10, miscellane-
GUS %. To these The secretary adds an
estimate of % per cent for shipments
made from stations outside the county
to which our county is tributary. This
% per cent equals 500 cars, making q
grand total of 4 $50 car loads, as COM
pared with 1880 for the preceding year.
This is equal to q train of over thirteen
car loads of products going out of the
county every week day of the year.
The secretary also estimates the
number and valuation of stock In the
county Nov. LIST, as follows: Cattle "a
600 valued at Si64,032; horses 1856
worth $257, 7i9; mules $50 worth $lS,2 800;
swine 2S,6i6 worth S53,75i; sheep i,272
worth S1,212, The stock assessment of
1892 is Si95,067.
II is also estimated that $4,000 BUSH
els of grain remain in the county.
Improved land is reported to be worth
from $40 to $50 per acre, with very lit
tie wild land left
1t is estimated that 23,570 gallons Of
sorghum We're manufactured during
the year.
The product OF three creameries, with
two not reported Is placed at 1898
