News and Views OF Pisgah.

Pisgah, Nov. 25.-The winter
looks, as if it is going to be as warm
as last year. A number of hogs are
ready to Kill but will have to wait
until the weather turns cold. A
quantity of meat was spoiled last
year by the hot weather.
Oat planting is going on. Many
acres are being sown. Wheat is
planted, more than in many years.
The seed can't be furnished as fast
as wanted. This will help next
year.

The farms have raised approx
