A private road leading into his farm
from the Yorkville road is being con-

are 300 acres Of good farming land
which lies well and is we'll watered.
Good corn and cotton are abundant.
Twelve hundred bushels Of corn will
be produced this year. Corn and cotton
are not the only products OF the farm,
because almost everything that can be
grown in this community is found
here. Indeed this farm could easily be
called a stock farm Of the best type.
Stock including mules, such as jennets
and jacks, cattle, hogs, OF most excel
lent strand are to be seen. Truly the
fine fox dogs are not to be neglected,
though some of them don't show up
their blood as well as the more useful
but not more enjoyable or pleasant
animals. After walking over the plant

acre Of which is in cultivation" Mr..

bought this large farm, by dividing 1t
into three farms. Each one Of these
contains one hundred acres and Is a
large two-horse crop. The valuable
thing about this farm is that it has
two graded roads going to it. One
road is public, while the other Is pri-

stock farm or just an ordinary farm
will be fully repaid to make visit to
see this property. .... Friends OF Mr..
