A Big Crop OF Pork.
Henderson Mail, December 2. I

1F1E%'T' y 7OOO1TO0T
j. S. Fowler has sold to butchers in
fbe city 1000 pounds of pork raised on
A.is farm west of the city this year, and
has contracted for about 1000 pounds
more to be delivered early in January.
Mr.. Fowler said to-day that he would
sell about 81 600 worth of pork this year,
and that this would be- over and above
what he would use on his own farm.
"And at least half the money that ]
receive for the pork will be clear profit"
he said. "There is good money in rails
ing pork when man can sell il for just
double what it costs him. There is no
reason why pork and bacon cannot be
mace one of the mouoy crops OF this sec
tion, for there is big demand for it at
good prices. and it costs very little to
raise when man uses ordinary judg.
ment in raising it,"

Our esteemed contemporary, the An
derson Mail says it just expected The
Courier to say Anderson is getting more
like Oconco every day. There's nothing
like realizing facts as they come up.
Really, now, Mr. Carpenter, aren't you
glad your county is getting so much like
Oconee?

The Highland street picnic association
observed the Fourth in its usual manner
by meeting upon the grounds of E. s.
Robinson at o'clock p. m. The custom
was originated by the late Rev. f. s.

inviting his neighbors to bring their bas-
kets and enjoy lunch together on the

become regular organization, with its
officers and its yearly gathering The
residents of Highland street present and
past, compose the company.
F'orty-fVe persons were present on this
occasion, representing every family on
the street, whose members were in town

a late hour of the evening Special

Tor their untiring effort to render the
occasion one of pleasure to the denizens

Durham Brothers Goth AnnIversary.

Durham Brothers recognition of their
goth anniversary in business attracted
not less than 5000 people to their stores,
wholesale and retail Saturday afternoon
and evening, and nearly all of the guests
were served with ice cream and lemon
AIDE, not to mention several boxes of
cigars which were given to the adult
male visitors. Leitsnger's orchestra fur
nished music both afternoon and even
ing The public reception attracted
not a few visitors from out of town
and occupied all the time from to
O'Clock in the afternoon and from to
10 o'clock in the evening. During those
hours all business In the wholesale de-
partment was suspended, and all except
necessary business in the retail store,
and the members OF the firm and their
clerks, both in the offices and the stores,
gave their undivided attention to show
ing the visitors over the big establish
ment This was done courteously and
thoroughly, the guests being assembled
in groups and piloted over the buildings
The public has read repeatedly reference
TO the six-story building occupied by
Durham Brothers, but had little reallz-
alton either of the amount Of space in
such building or the quantity of goods II
would accommodate, and therefore the
expressions of surprise which were heard
on all sides Saturday were not to be
wondered at. The completeness OF the
equipment, including the ONCE appur-
tenances, fire alarm, fire protection and
telephone systems, ETC., also was gem
orally commented upon, Cut flowers and
palms added to the attractiveness Of the
naturally handsome front store.
