that Hannibal BLY,, . Mississippi bred
horse recently won a race at that arts
tocratic track in New York, Belmont
Park. Hannibal BLY, is a product Of

the &. & S. /. railroad, This is an
unusually we'll equipped farm for rails
ing all kinds Of blooded stock and is
a profitable investment to the owner
who lives in New Orleans. While
there are few farms in the state

Mr.. Morgan Bass, Of Hazlehurst,
has been signally successful in the
trucking business so far this season.
His pea crop is off and the ground is
planted in second crop. Beans are
being shipped and the tomato crop

hay. Mr.. Morgan's success in the
trucking business will be a stimulns
to others for next season. Hazlehurst
is becoming trucking community and
will soon begin to cast eyes at Crystal

stimulus and be worth many thous-
ands Of dollars to the oyster section.
