There is less complaint among the farm
ers Of Lowndes than mas been known be-
fore in a long time. About the only thing
that seems 10 worry any of them now is
the appearance of hog cholera in different
parts of the county. The farmers Of
Lowndes have raised a great many hogs
this year. as well as all provision crops,
and the appearance of cholera makes them
uneasy for fear that they may have to
buy meat next year. The crops which ere
being harvested now have been made at
less expense than any crop in many years,
and the farms have been self-sustaining 10
a very large extent. The outlook is that
the new year will dawn bright for this
section in spite of the low price of cot
ton.
