Not many Of our people appreci-
ate the magnitude Of the eeg and
poultry business, but a glance at the
figures furnished on q rough esti-
mate will bring respect for Madame
Hen as a financial factor. The Hay
Produce company alone, located in
Lexington. has shipped since the
middle of February an average Of
two cars OF eggs per week, or per-
haps rs cars to date, with an aver
age cash value of something like
l$1,25000 per car and to that may
be added on rough estimate $4,000
pounds Of poultry, at an average
value of Ia or is cents per pound.
These two items alone, in the pro-
duce business make a showing Of
close to $4,000 value. The whole
country is entitled to take off its
hat to Madame Hennypenny.
Hon. D. f. Scott, who has made a
trip to Lagrange, Fayette county,
this week, says that it is the most

of hotel or house of entertainment,
nor has it a livery stable. Travel
ing men are on to the fact that ho-
tel accommodation can not be Sc
cured at Lagrange and their BUSH
ness visits to the town are planned
accordingly. While Lagrange has
some handsome homes, il also has
on the side the biggest and deepest
gullies in the state and is on the
Southern Railroad and is reached
from Jackson via the !. C. Railroad
via Grand Junction-and you get
away by waiting for the next train
The /. c. Railroad wanted to build
by Lagrange but that town declined
the innovation many years ago.
and hence is holding its own, except
in the matter of the eullies referred
to, which are constantly growing.
