The bereaved ones have the earnest sympathy of their many friends. —While it is true that a ma jority of Houston county farmers are not getting rich at a rapid rate, it is nevertheless true that a majority of the farms are be ing gradually improved. The average productiveness of the soil is greater than ten years ago, and there is a steady improvement in the quality of the farm impli- ments, horses, mules, cows, hogs, poultry, etc. been injured to some extent.
