MONEY MADE.

Hawkinsville Dispatch and News
Mr.. J. Robert Taylor has furnished
us some interesting figures showing
what success he had raising hogs
last year. He started the first OF
January with four soWs and pigs for
which he paid S25, and during the
year bought FIVE more tor which he
paid $39.25 the total cost for the en-
tire lot being S6425. From these
he raised and sold, together with
what he has left on hand, 5000. SO
worth Of meat. The cost of raising
them was about SITS, leaving him a
net profit OF S366.65. These figures
show conclusively that there is mon
ey in raising hogs, and good money
at that. Mr.. Taylor thinks that a
farmer, to be successful, ought to
sell meat instead at buying it, and
he is evidently correct.

corner, where people generally keep
their pocketbooks, and almost the
first thing my hand touched was a
silver purse, one of the kind that
people used to carry more than they
do now, wallet-shaped, opening on
hinge, with accordeon.like COM

trio battery, and 1 couldn't let 60.

at me and said:
