A MODEL FARM
NEAR MEIGS
Bears Seen in That Vi
cinity, News and
Personals.
[Bt J. S. Searcy]
Incidentally while out on a foraging
expedition last Saturday, we passed
over the farm of Mr. Joseph Sasser,
near town. We have been satisfied alt
along that any thing, from a difficulty
to a >og house, could be raised in this
section, but not until Saturday did we
ever see such flue crops as wero on the
place of Mr. Sasser. He came here
from near Cairo several years ago and
started his farm in the woods and grasa
Now he has a comfortable home -with
pleasant surrouudings.
His farm is equipped, with an excel
lent syrup plant, harrows, mowers, and
everything that go to make a model
farm. Mr. Sasser has lately turned
loose his last year’s cotton. He has
four acres in cane, muoh of which is
now matured three feet, and will make
over 100 barrcla of syrup. More than
half his croD has a full crop of matured
bolls many stalks of which aro bent to
thtvground from their load. The en
tire corn crop is a sight' worth seeing.
There were turkeys, geese, ducks and a
lot of spring chickens that would make
a preacher’s mouth water. We crossed
on the route to the farm of N. H. Sasser
w^ich was quite as good as that of Mr,
Joseph Sasser. Certainly no one need
go from Meigs district to look form
better place to make a living.
