From January 1st to October

to Bolivar 1873, 1898 pounds of meat,
44,8S4 pounds of lard and 1929 bar
reis of flour. At the same ratio in
twelve months the shipment of meat
would amount to 1885, pounds,
lard SO .845 pounds and flour 4, O38 bar
rels. There are in this county ten ship
ping points. In estimating upon the
basis that nme of the shipping points
receive three times as much of the
articles mentioned as Bolivar does,
the aggregate amount of meat ship.
ped into this county will be 74O,7
pounds, of lard 239, $3.50 pounds aud
12,114 barrels of flour. The meat at
10 cents a pound amounts to S74,-

S28, 725. so and II, ia barrels of -four
amounts to s48, 456 at 81 barrel,
aggregating S151, 260.40. There is

ed but what could and should be
produced in this county without
lcssening the number of bales of cot-
ton raised i'm this county. With
