nsed in his IA nilv over sixty wears; and
he rold u about bottle they had used

used it all another crop came on, and
some Of the old crop crop was left in

man above referred to told also that he
had estimated II million feet of red
oak lumber in circumference of a mile
from certain mill in this county. Al
$40 a thousand tins lumber would be
worth fortune if we had large iurni-
