quantities Of these, which were sown

raised this year. His garden spot is
one OF the finest in town. The tur-

White Burley and Tennessee Oronoca
varieties, and with only ordinary cul-
tivation his success was phenomenal.
The leaves left with us measure IS
inches in length and inches in
width. The White Burley gives the

ant evidence, however, that tobacco
culture could be adopted in Oconee
with profit.
