An Exhibition Load Of w,.,,.

Lon Bonds, a planter living near
West Point, attracted great deal of
interest in that place the other day
oy placing On exhibition a wagon
load OF fine wheat all ready for the
mill. 1t is well known fact that
wheat used to be raised on no small
scale in Mississippi, but it is of un-
usual occurrence at present. Mr..
Bonds tried to get the farmers in
Clay county to cultivate this article
this year, but srccceded in getting
only two TO make the venture and
they raised only few bushels each.
Many of the farmers are now la
menting the fact that they did not
listen TO Mr.. Bonds, whose success
is sufficient proof to them that their
land is suitable for the cultivation
OF this product. 1t is expected that
a large number will experiment next
year, and if they come out all right
there is no doubt that -four mill
for Clay county will be the result.

that those people are going to place
this enterprise on its list of improve
ments The farmers and stock-rais-

Perhaps the most interesting as

those OF Madison county, the banner
county for dogs. 1t is understood
that every canine in the county dur

sessment is all the more interesting
when it is remembered that the total
number of polls assessed amounted
to 4,s3S, only 205 more than the
number of dogs.

Some Interesting Comparisons.

President j. G. Hardy, of the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College,
has furnished some very interesting
data in regard to comparison be-
tween white and negro labor in Mis-
sissippi. In comparing a white
county with black county, the
white one produces twice as much
cotton, although the black one was
the more fertile. In Kinds county,
where the negroes outnumber the
whites by three to one, it requires
two and one-haf acres to make a
bale, while Perry county, with two
whites to one negro, less than two
acres make bale. Kinds county
farm lands are worth three times as
much as those in Perry. Many other
such comparisons bring out the fact
that white labor is far better in this
State.

Few "Guns" in Claiborne County.

From glance at the assessment
rolls in Claiborne county, that the
people there do not place much de-
pendence in the little weapon gen
orally to be found in the hip-pocket
is shown. There are only four dozen
pistols in the county, or, rather,
that is the number shown on the as
SCISSORS account. There have been
exactly three dozen persons brought
up before the court on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons within
the past four years, from which it is
natural to suppose that every pistol
in the county, with the exception of
twelve, has been before the courts
unless, perhaps, the assessor was
greatly fooled.

not only the finest and most up to
date building of its kind in Missis-

the South, and which, in addition
to the lot and jail, cost over $780,
900. The supervisors will-very like
