Howo^Placo of 507 Acres Bought By
Mr. Broadhurst.
The business of raising potatoes and
ot selling diamonds is rather an odd
combination bat one that Mr. B. S.
Broadhurst, tbe jeweler, thinks can be
conducted to advattige. To this end
Mr. Broadhurst has purchased tbe
Howe plantation of 807 aores, two or
three; miles west ot Americas. The
plantation is a very valuable one, and
under tbe high and eeieutiflo cultiva
tion which will be given it by Mr.
Broadhurst will bs made to blossom as
the rose. For tbe present, at least, it
is the intention of tbe new owner to
plant.only corn,*cate, peas, potatoes
and anoh crops, and not a stalk of oot-
ton shall grow there. This is a new
departure in farming in southwestern
Georgia, bat one that Mr. Broadhnrst
