The mayor says the cutting OF the
increase in the salary of the president
of the aldermen was disingenuous, and
taken solely TO lend apparent justffica-

that William Writ happens TO come

his allowance from $4,000 to $4,000

We BS7ER FARMERS
SHIP CAR OF HOGS

WESTON, Ca, April 8.-The farm
ers within three miles of Weston this
" eek loaded a car of hogs for ship
ment to New Orleans. This is the first
solid car ever shipped from Weston or
Webster county. However, numbers
of farmers have been for several years
shipping small lots.
On next Thursday, April 18th, they
will load car of cattle and another
car of hogs, as there is considerable
more hogs and cattle in this immediate
territory.
These farmers have learned the les
son of a one crop system and have also
learned the velvet derived from a few
hogs and cows for sale each year from
every farm They are preparing for
the boil weevil before he makes his APP
pearance, and the vast majority or
them see more profits in hogs and COWS
than in cotton.
These hogs were sold to the Metcalf
Livestock Co., of Camilla, who are
shipping them to New Orleans, and
Mr., Metcalf has assured the farmers
here that they will always have a
ready cash market for such products
at any time they can get them together
III car lots.
One farmer supplied sixty head of
the hogs shipped in this car and
killed enough to supply his farm con-
sisting of about twenty plows, these
sixty being surplus. In addition to
this, the same farmer will furnish
.tw enty head of the cattle that will
be shipped next week.
Since last November Weston has
shipped $500 worth of turkeys. chick
ems and eggs, and this trade is grow
ing each year. The chickens are ship
ped mostly in the winter months and
go to Florida markets where they bring
a handsome price.
