A very troublesome thing the busy
farmer has to contend with is sore
mouth in little pigs. The only way to
prevent this is to take out their little
tusks when they are about one day
old. 1t is fighting for the teat that
causes this and is very much worse in
wet weather than in dry ON account
of the mud that forms a sore, followed

Teams From a Dozen Counties Crowd

Teams from every county contiguous
to Sumter, and all cotton laden, filled
the busy streets of Americus yesterday
and deposited their wealth of the feecy

total for the day went well above the
700 mark.
AS to the teams, one feature was par
ticularly noticeable.
Some Of these were strange crafts on
Americas streets, coming for long dis
tances upon this, their first visit here.
And so pleased were the owners that
they will come again.
1t evidences the fact that Americas is
rapidly extending the territory from
whence she draws cotton bales. And
it proved conclusively that this mar
ket is regarded as the best in all south
ern Georgia. Our wagon receipts well
emphasize this fact.
Cotton is carried where the highest
price is paid. And that is Why Ameri-

wagon already.

FORCED TO BUY CITY REALTY
AS Farmine Lands Have Advanced So
In Pric G.

The best evidence of prosperity is
the rspi and substantial advance in
the value of realty, and that is just
where Amerious and Sumter county
can both make an excellent showing.
Nowhere in Georgia is the value of real
estate advancing more rapidly.
Both town property and farming
lands are soaring, and this has been the
case for two years.
And this is especially true as regards
we'll located farms ,or large bodies of
farming lands. N obody here ants to
sell, while numerous farmers and 9TH
ers are among the buyers.
A thrifty and very successful young
farmer told the Times Recorder yester-
day that within the past two years he
has bought three desirable farms as an
investment, and that the returns from
each farm would pay the entire pur-
chase price another year.
Thus, in three years, he makes
enough money to pay for the lands,
while within the three ears they have
welln'gh doubled in value.
He would like to buy one or two
other farms if they could be had
Recently he bought a dwelling and
several tenant houses here in the city as
an Investment, though he preferred
farm property to city real estate. An
other young farmer here yesterday
stated that land in his vicinity could
not be bought now, even at $40 pei
acre, though high that may seem.
And year or two hence $25 per acre,
ever, will be considered very cheap
for farms here Lands in Sumter coun-
ty are cheaper than they will ever be
again, though seemingly high now.
