Mr. Stoua failed to inform ns what the hog weighed gross, but we suppose it wag in the neighborhood of 500. 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.

We hope soon to see it thawed and once more able to nav igate, as it is very profitable and pleasant for our people. I wonder if a certain young man of Comer does not think there is something more dangerous than ghosts near Carlton,as he was heard one night to call for help as he was on his way to see his best girl. We are still having our share of the cold, rainy weather, which makes it very unpleasant for all i kinds of work. At this writing Dr. 0. L.
