! WORTHY OF MENTION.
Hard Working Negro Makes Money
on Tobacco Cultivated as a Side
Crop.


Tends Jackson, colOred, of the
Goodwill section, who was in town to
sell tobacco Thursday, told a mer-
chant, with whom he was trading, of
his success in growing tobacco this
year. He said that he planted his
regular crop of cotton and corn
more than twenty-five acres-and
then decided to plant an extra crop
in tobacco He planted one and a
half acres in tobacco, and, as the
regular crop was all that his horse
could work, he bought an old mule
for $25 to plOw the tobacco crop. He
worked his regular crop as usual, but
when II o'clock came his wife
brought the old mule to the field.
when she brought his dinner. His
horse was taken to the house by his
wife to be fed and watered, and, af-
ter hastily eating his dinner, he plow-
ed-out the tobacco with the old
mule, and in this way kept up with
the work in the regular crop and il
the tobacco also. From the acr,
and a-half Of tobacco he has al
ready sold SITS worth and has one
more barn full at home yet to be
marketed He said that the worms
were numerous in his tobacco an6
damaged it considerably, otherwise
he believes he would have made $500
on the acre and a-half that he made
by investing $25 in an old worn-out
mule and working himself during his
dinner hour. The mule cost him
nothing for feed. as it was allowed
to run at large and Craze day and
night, except the time it was workinc
in the tobacco during the noon hour
This is the sort of farmer that the
boil weevil will find hard to put out
