Mr.. Julius Solomon of Newellton
was visitor to st. Joseph this week
and while here informed us of an i'm
meuse shipment of pecans he had just
made, and which brought return sales
OF about one thousand dollars, and
which he considered easily the largest
single shipment of pecans to leave this
parish this year. This, however, is Mr..
Salomon's third shipment, each of the
others being nearly as great, while a
fourth and possibly the last shipment
of the season will follow within the
next fortnight and which will prob
ably eclipse any Of the predecessors.
The pecan industry has surely become
. valuable asset to the business life
of this parish, the annual sales run
