ment feature of Ben Hill county on
the point Of realization. The second
annual sale of Hampshires raised on
the Dixie Stock farm, which occurred
last Wednesday was a complete Sue
cess from the point of prices secured
and quality of stock offered. Mr..
Dickson may feel justly proud of his
success in this field, originally his
own in South Georgia, and we predict

Dixie Stock farm in particular a last
ing business. Sixty fine Hampshire
gifts sold at an average price of $685.
H. each of the gifts being raised on

son puts on sale on his farm, we
know many more of Ben Hill coun-

ded to the Hampshire advocates in
the county. Hon. w. T. Paulk and
H. H. James were two of the local
buyers who added considerable new
blood to their herds of Hampshires.
