is an old and experienced flour

points in view McCrory and
| Wynne and one of these places
j will surely be the proud posses
sor of the mill in the near future.
I Mr. Krause says the farmers of
■ our county must be taught the
efficacy of raising wheat, more
ready money being made in the
culture of wheat than either cot
l ton or corn. We believe this,
j This county is possessed of fine
I wheat land and it will pay our
! farmers to help pull for the erec
: tion of the mill at McCrory.

A SUNDAY BAIiBECUE.
Last Sunday a merry party
composed of R. H. Smith, S. B.
Kyle, Dr. J. B. Neal, Dave Bur
kett, W. E. Wilder, R. L. Stoker,
Henry Cariker, Elvis Kidd, Jurd
McCrory, M. E. Anderson, Boyd
Angus, W. B. Daugherty and
Walter Angus, spent the day
on Cache river in an old fashion
ed pleasurable feast or barbecue.
Dr. Neal furnished a fine, fat 125
pound hog for the occasion which
Raymond Partee and Joe Dunn,
both excellent colored cooks pre
pared to a queen’s taste. The
boys say they had all kinds of
fine eatables fish galore, barbe
cued pork, and the various other
necessary things usually found
at such a gathering as this, were
there to spare. The dinner was
t
gotten up in honor of Ur. J. B. a
Neal’s friend M. E. Anderson,
traveling representative of the
Hessig Ellis Drug Co., of Mem
phis, Tenn. Mr. Anderson said
he never enjoyed anything better
in his life. It is said to have
been better than the Big Pour
dinner given sometime since. If
this is true it was something
very fine.
Of all things for man to enjoy, i,
a fine spread like last Sunday’s i
with a happy, jolly crowd as the j
one that constituted its members,
is the most enjoyable one we can j
think of.
The dinner was nicely spread
and when the jolly crowd were j
seated around the feast, laugh- j
ing, joking and enjoying the j
bountiful meal it must have been
a grand picture of contentment, j
While this meal was partaken of j'
all were happily seated listening j
to the stories of wild animals,!
ghosts and other ferocious ani
mals of which the boys know
many. When the gentlemen get
together a day of fun is always
assured.
THE SUPPLY OF HOGS.
The man who raises plenty of
corn and then raises plenty of
hogs to consume it is putting his
product where it will do the
most good. Hogs are relatively
high now, according to the best
information obtainable, the sup
ply in the country is somewhat
below the normal at the present
time. However, the best posted
men on the hog situation have
>
I \
this kind and one is bound to ad- ;
mit thrt the country is large, and '
that it is impossible to get ac
curate statistics on the growing
crop. There are many who be
lieve that the light average
weight is an indication that the
later supply will be short, basing
their judgment on the theory
that no heavy hogs are available,
becauge if there were the pre
mium that they are commanding
would force them in. Without
question the marketing of so
many young hogs now means
less to come later on. Whether
the shortage will be serious or
not remains to be seen. So far
this last winter the eastern sup
ply lias been quite large, at least
large enough to keep shipments
down to a comparatively low
figure. It is generally believed
that this supply has been pretty
well marketed, and so the coast
is clearer for a better demand
| from this source later on. Per
haps the high price of corn has
discouraged many farmers from
feeding as many hogs as usual,
but even with corn at present
prices there could be no better
investment than converting it j
| into pork.—Drovers’ Journal. 1
