| The Enquirer had a pleasant call
yesterday from Mr. w. M. Jones, now

merly of this county. Mr.. Jones came

spent some days with his brother, Mr..
Dudley Jones, and he Is here from
| Gaffney, the guest of his nephew, Capt.
John r. Hart. Mr.. Jones left South

been living in Uvalda county for about
thirty years His principal business Is
raising sheep and Angora goats, the
sheep for their wool and the goats for
their mohair, which is worth from 35
| to 40 cents q pound. He Is about thir-
ty miles from the nearest railroad sta
ton, but the country in which he lives
| is well populated. He says that when
he settled in Uvalda county he bought
lands for 81 an acre, but prices have
advanced wonderfully since then and
more especially within the past few
years. The people are engaged princi-
pally in stock raising and are prosper
