cotton and all kinds of vegetables

why a farmer can't make some
money, as health is good and land
is easy to cultivate.
Land rents here for one third of
the corn and one-fourth Of the cot

pays big rent, and if be makes a
light crop the burden is borne by
both parties.

good market at Hope, only a few

4 900 populations, with many fac
tories and three banks capitalized

three or four hundred more famiI-
