ufactured the press, and it does its
work. We found it on a “5” out
yond Mr. Gilliards. The rice has
enough grain in it to make fiine eating
''or horses and stock. Mr. Gilliard, an
Englishman, two or three years
purchased the McClellen "5,” which
Aas already under cultivation, with
strawberries and fruit set out. The
McClellens grew homesick for the north
tnd sold out at a sacrufice. Mr. Gilli
ird has given it unusual care and it is
■ he nandsomest orchard we have seen
Every tree looks as though it was
grown in the same mold of every
tree in the row. He sold peaches this
tummer from these three year old
irees. Everything on his place
ooka thrifty.
Ross Wilson, is another up-to-date
farmer, who purchased the Ledbetter
place and shows “what he knows about
farming” by bis fine looking crops of
rice, bane, collards and etc. Mr. Wil
on is in charge of the Cotton ware
house and is quite a valuable addition
to our city as a business man.
W. H Marston has a "5” beautiful
tor location and very desirably situated.
We found him confined to the house on
account of his wounds but on the lawo
we saw three of the most wholesome
looking children we have seen Fitz
gerald. We recommend a drive out
past those and other tracts for a case ol
rhe blues.
