Near Putnam, Dec. 5th. 1889. Notwithstanding cholera, Schley county farmers will kill more pork this wintei than ever before. To illustrate, a two horse farmer will kill 28 head, while a one horse man will kill 80. These are exceptional cases, but nearly all will kill more than will be used on their farms. These hogs, too, are generally' large, and have not been fattened on corn. Miss Martha Newsom is in the lead thus far, she having killed one a few day’s ago, 15 months old, weighing 815 pounds. G. A. Chapman is arranging to move to Sumter county. Where farmers have uncleared land they should not wait longer to open it up. This immediate vicinity, we will venture to assert, has made as good av erage crops, for the last few years as any other section in the state with the same acreage. This is due to the large acreage of fresh land recently opened up. The question for you to decide, is. does not your old land need rest for a few years, worse than y*ou need it after your crops are gathered ? Report says that Hopewell is to have a new teacher. We learn there is a move on foot to or ganize a stock company to build a cotton factory at Americus, to be run and op orated in the interest of the farmers alli ances of the five joining counties.

At the close of the exercises refreshments were served in abundance, and the exstacies of the children, and smiles of parents made everything pleas ant.
