CAN YOU BEAT IT?
Our frienri, Mv J. Johnson, in
formed us Saturday that he had
picked 505 pounds of lint cotton
from three-quarters of an acre
of his land.
The land upon which the bale
of cotton was picked was also
producing an orchard from which
he has harvested a fine crop of
apples, peaches and pears.
Mr. Johnson’s farm is- located
near Beards and is known as the
“sand hill place.” The cotton
was cultivated by his son-in-law,
Henry Chappell.

ter, Mrs. W. J. Mitchell, were
called home because of the seri
ous illness of their father. They
have returned home and we are
glad to. note their father’s con
dition is much improved.
