WHO CAN BEAT IT.
Messrs. W A and E E Stone,
killed a hog the other day which
netted them 4021bs ©f good, all

Jt is useless to figure out the
profit on this hog, as everybody
knows that it is woith more on
the mar et than the heaviest bale
of cotton in the county. It is all
s' lately impossible to lose money
farming as the Messrs Stone farm.
