 Tobaceo culture leads iu the hopeful Industries of this county. Truck grow ing is making rapid progress. Hun dreds and hundreds of acres of land on which once waved the majestic pines are planted in peach trees. They com pose orchards of abundant production. One farm. that of Isovefaee Brothers consists of 300 acres. From it's yield were shipped many thousand dollars worth of fruit last season and the ex- pectations of the ownars run higher this year. q
 Hortlculture and tobacco cultivation are the main reliance of local invest Iors Strawberries and peaches4 have proven a striking success.

So astonished were 4he experimenters with the results that most of the citizens of Brewton were seized with the tobacco craze, so to speak Men and women who had con demned the use of tobacco as most fnsidious foe to morality. were assuag- cd with the thought that It might be made to contribute to the prosperity of the town and county. So long as craven men could not be stopped from smoking the aromatic weed. why should not Brewton, and why should not Es- cambia. why should not the whole pine Belt rake the profits from its growth
