| Mr.. Ira A. Gleason still continues to
ship pork to the Shreveport butchers,
shipping out twelve dressed hogs the
past week. This makes sixty-two so fal
this season, for which he has received
something over 500. Pork is not a bad
thing to have to sell now, as the demand
in the nature of things, will be good fol
years to come. So why not cut ou
some of that cotton and plant more for.
