Camp Jackson, Columbia, S. c., to
join her husband, Lieut.. DR.. Kelley.
The latter has been confined to his
bed there for several weeks and was
improving, when he was taken with

that he had 16 head of hOgs from

bushels. He said that he made them
by blowing them only twice with
middle-buster. This shows what a
farmer in Upton county can do if
he will only put the seed into the
ground. This is why land is selling
at 5000 per acre in Upton county.
