Mr.. David Maloney, who had before
that time lived i'm the upper end OF
Charlotte county, bought in the North
eastern portion Of the same county. i'm
the neighborhood of Darlington
Heights, something over 200 acres of
lands from Mr. Rosser and made "a cash
payment of $500 Since then DE has
bought other land adjoining the orig
inal purchase and now owns 38l acres.
The whole costing about $1,000 Every
acre has been paid for. the dwelling has
been improved 10 the amount of $500.
four new barns have been built. the
met convenient stable L know If and
the entire place well fenced with wire
and rails.
The farm AS a whole now presents
the most attractive appearance and mo-
one would pass it without being at.

his farm is recognized as the very best
in all that neighborhood l neglected
to AID that he carries s. 900 Of life JIM

about 500.
To explain how an this has been
done need only add that his tobacco
crop Of one season has brought him as
much as 81 100 and rarely falls below
81 800. He raises good crops Of wheat
oats, corn and grass Ills own meat
Of course, and believes in taking care

profits year 10y year, but from what
nave said the conclusion is irresistible
hat they have been most satisfactory.
Mr. Maloney employs two hands reg a
llarly, and has two others who work {
