$l,0O0.0O worth of tobacco, one ton of
German millet mixed with speckled
peas, rs 1-2 gallons homemade
syrup, bushels sorghum millet seed,
25 bushels of wheat and 20 bushels
of oats. In the livestock line he has
IL fine head of hogs, three cows and
a number Of we'll bred chickens. Ap-
proximately 100000 worth of butter
and milk was the revenue from the
cows Apples, peaches and mulber-
ries are among the fruits grown while
hickory nuts and walnuts are produc-
ed in abundance. Mr.. McFaddin is
something of hustler and does not
confine all his energies to the plaHta-
ton, but finds time to do the thresh-
ing for the planters in this section.
He has also been instrumental in pro-
viding the people an abundance of
pure water from artcsian wells, some
200 or 300 having been drilled by
him. No better testimony to the
judgment and fair mindedness of this
versatile gentleman could be adduccd
than the fact that he has been select
ed by the people to dispense justice
in the Gable and Sardinia communi-
ties where he has filled the position
of Justice of the Peace for long
time with satisfaction to his people.

this gentleman having practically
nothing but his hands to begin has
transformed his tract of 40 acres,
which were in very crude state

six acres of tobacco he received
1,200. He has 8 head of hogs, a

two more good years Mr.. Watts's
perseverance will put him nicely in
the clear and on easy street.
