Another Oat Story.
While in Perry last Friday Mr.
Zack Aultman told of another pe
culiar wild cat incident that oc-
currd on the line between Bibb
and Houston counties. Mr. Oscar
Long, says Mr. Aultman, was
crossing the Iron bridge return- j
ing home from a mill. Seeing an |
animal just ahead of him, he got
out of his buggy and sought a
clearer view. The* animal stopped
and offered fight. The animal was
a wildcat, or catamount, and Mr.
Loug attacked it with a buggy
whip. The cat was ready for the
fight, but fortunately the first
blow with the but end of the whip
was heavy and true, and soon the
cat was dead—kliled with v the
whip.
—Hr. H. Bonner of Dayton,
Ohio, has been in Houston about
ten days, visiting his brothers,
Messrs..Stith and Frederick Bon
ner, nearTivola. He is an oculist,
and evidently prosperous. He is
very much ^pleased with Houston
and might be persuaded to come
here to live, but that his business
is too satisfactory for him to for
sake it. We are told, however,
that a younger brother will join

That land is excellently adapt
ed to pasturage, and could be
profitably used to raise cattle on
an extensive scale. The land is
productive, though difficult of
cultivation.
In Houston there are thousands
of acres admirably adapted to
stock raising, but it seems that
the attractiveness of that line lias
not been made sufficiently mani
fest. .
Stock raising has been proven
profitable in less favored sections,
and to us it seems strange that in
Houston there is not more atten
tion devoted to that line of farm
ing.
The demand of Georgia cities
for beef is greater than the sup
ply of Georgia cattle, and it has
been demonstrated that beef cat
tle can be profitably shipped from
the south to Chicago and to Cuba.
Then, not infrequently do we
hear of Houston people sending
out of the county for pure-bred
milch cows.
The lands in Houston adaptable
to stock rasing could be utilized
to profitably supplement the
growing demand for beef in Geor
gia and beyond the state limits,
as well as to furnish Jerseys and
other fine bred cows to whoever
might apply.
There is also room for raising
horses and mules for Houston
farmers.
