A FINE SPECIMEN OF
MARION YEOMANRY

We spent the night previous to the
Pennington picnic with Mr.. Zetrouer,
the committeeman of the Geiger pre-
cinct. He has 1900 acres of excellent
land, some 500 acres of which is SUI
rerior hammock land, which lays
beautifully and slopes gently to fine
3CO-acre prairie, which makes splen-
cid pasture for his flock of six hum
OF wool and fine mutton for the
butcher.
Mr. Zetrouer says he has splendid
success with his flock and they are
Profitable to keep. He also has a fine
herd Of cattle that net him a goodly
sum. Mr.. Zetrouer is some of truck
ef, not gang pillow one. but every
season devotes five Or six acres TO
beans and two or three acres to tOma-
toes. This year he had six acres in
beans and shipped over seven hundred
crates that Melted him 81 crate, and
s\still shipping to local points and re-
ceiving about 40 cents net.
Mr.. Zetrouer has fine peach trees
with considerable fruit on them and
soil adapted to same with varieties
than run from June to October. His
land is especially adapted to peaches
and he will put out two acres this
coming spring. He has just complet-
ed neat two-stOry house, which is
ready to be painted. He will put down
s drive well, erect a windmill, put in
