with the large number Of colts In the
county, many Of them Of fine pedigree,
and mono Of them Of scrub stock on the
sires' side. In different. parts Of the
county, stations Of fine form, size and
blood, have improved our home stock
until,to find a:symmetrical young horse
is no difficult undertaking. This laud-
able spirit Of raising fine stock is not
confined wholly to the white people, as
quite number Of our colored friends
have caught the good infection, and
with equal pride, show their excellent
taste and laudable ambition. Anthony
Clay, a well known colored man, rides
along the streets on little mare, al
most as large as he is, showing his fine
whitney colt, which is daisy, but did
not come from the scrub he rides. We
could mention other colored men who
have fine colts, of which they are truly
proud. There is no county in the State
considering geographical size and pop
ulation, which has done more within
the past six or seven years in the di-
rection Of Improvement in fine stock,
especially mules and horses, than Gre
NADIA. At the present rate OF progress,
some Of our people will at no distant
day be known for the sale OF their fine
stock. In fact, we believe Mr.. Frank
Collins, of Hardy, has already sold an
nually many head Of horses and
mules. In the matter Of fine cattle, we
have quite number OF genuine jer-
seys. But these are mostly in the
hands Of families which prize them for
milk, and do not pretend to raise them
for merchandise, and yet occasionally
sell one or two as they only want few
for their own use. Amongst the lead
ing factors in the milk and butter de-
partment, Mr.. Doc Wilkins, of Duck
Hill, just over the line in Montgomery,
takes the lead. While he makes a
speciality Of butter, which is worth
weekly, from $50 to $40, he is constant
ly improving his cattle, and in year
or two more will be able to show a
large number Of fine blooded cattle, all
the result Of his own careful breeding.
Not only ere our people improving In
this line Of progress; they are not for
getful Of hogs. At no time since the
the war, have there been so many hogs
Of different ages ana sizes. From al
accounts, more pork will be killed this
winter than at any period Of our exis
tence as a county. Putting all these
things together, with other evidences
of thrift, our people are not only a long
way from stagnation, but they have 1
broad foundation for plenty OF hom'
raised supplies. This is not an imagi
native presentment of wishes ant
hopes, but the outcome Of visible facts
