George Brown has twenty-five acres
of extra fine broom corn that gives
promise of making him a rich man.
Broom corn is now worth about $40
ton in its raw state. George will
try and make the most of his into
brooms which will still add to the
value of the product. This diversity
of farming is what we need in this
country and many man could put
dollars in his pocket by raising some
crop other than that of the ordinary.
VIM. Cunningham has fine dis
play of school supplies at the school
house during the institute. Many of
them are books that no teacher can

it. A journal is not merely to sub
scribe for, to tell the county superin-
tendent that you have one, but it is
for the benefit of it's readers. Will is
doing kindness to the teachers when
he has these supplies here for their
good.

encouraged with the prospects of the
future.
