A. A. Jones and j. II. Hicks have
purchased 3 $500 worth of machinery

on the Preston Beck grant. Although
the past year has been too wet to al

others TO show conclusively tho ad-
vantages of the system.
The average rainfall here is now
about 20 inches, which goes to show
that agricultural possibilities are
practically unlimited.

Hauling in Of the Seine.

There are lots Of attractions at Ocean
View, and among them is the hauling
in of the seine The seine is a very
long net, with cork balls on one side
of it to keep it from sinking. There
is a long rope tied TO one end and the
seine is carried out into the water, and
the rope is tiedsto a wooden wheel
called wind!ass.
AT night horses are hitched to the
wheel and the rope is wound up until
the seine Is pulled to the edge OF the
water. Then negroes pull the seine in
shore. They sing when they are pull-
ing it in. and it moves Just like clock
work. After they get the seine In
far enough. the men get hamper
baskets and bring the fish in.
1t Is at night when they do all this,
and, of course. they have to have a
light. This is supplied by a lightwood
knot put in an iron cage on an iron
staff. When 1t is lighted 1t makes
the fish shine like gold.
