BIG CATTLE

JAS. Ward and A. w. Reynolds
are preparing to make a shipment
Of cattle which will probably be
the largest cattle shipment ever
sent out from Starkville. This
lot will consist of two solid train
loads Of Is cars containing about
$50 head of steers weighing from
800 to 1900 pounds each, repre-
senting a cash value of about
$4,000. The shipment will be
made Oct. 18th, consigned to the
Della Plantation Company at Scott,
Miss, the big syndicate plantation
Of which Prof. j. w. Fox is
manager.
These cattle were all bought in
Qktibbeha county. Oktibbeha
county is beyond doubt the great
est cattle county in the State, and
is furnishing the market with
more beef cattle, as well as fancy
dairy stock, than any other
section.
The record last week showed
that there were $1,000 head of
cattle in the county and at a mod
est estimate the value of our cat
tie will reach somewhere in the
neighborhood of a half million
dollars Starkville Times, LIST
