visitor to Walhalla. He and several
neighbors brought down to the wal

pound gross. Three Of the largest
animals belonging to Mr.. Coward
weighed 355 pounds, making the sale
price Of the three mount up to
$3.50, or nearly $12 per head Yet
there are people who contend there
Is nothing in raising sheep. We well
remember the time when year-old
sheep would sell for only 81, and the
woods Of OcOnee were full OF them
at that time. Now there are only a
few hundred in this county. The
''yallcr" dog back in the 70's and SOS
played havoc with the sheep industry
in this section. We hope to see it
revived, as we'll as other stock-rais-
| ing. Mr.. Coward has kept suffi-
cicnt seed to produce good crop Of
spring lambs and these will be put
on the market next September, and
Mr.. Coward will be able to carry off
a good "wad" next year.
