there is no better land, very little as
good, as the lands of Noxubee. He
paid particular attention to the coun-
try on his way back South and che best
lands that he saw were between Tupe-
10 and Macon. The blue grass in his
section, he snys, is very pretty but it
takes five acres to keep up one steer
and he knows that our bermuda and bur
clover pastures will beat that by long,
long shot.
