Several gentlemen went to Yorkville on
Monday to purchase mules. 1t is safe to
say that more mules have been bought
and traded in this section this year than
for many years past. A great many peo-
pie say this means large crop OF cotton
for the next fall; but little investigation
will prove 10 the contrary.
People are in better circumstances this
year than they have been for years, and
are therefore, improving their stock, and it
is safe to say that this section will, with
favorable year, produce about the same
amount of cotton as last year, and with
decided advance in the amount Of hog
and hominy. The farmer has to, sooner
or later learn the all important fact that
he must "live at home and board at the
same place." before he can make, farm
ing financial success. This being an un-
disputed fact, several of our farmers are
needing it, and are trying to educate
others to it. T.
