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.
