"j GOOD BEEFSTEAK COMING I

is a busy man these days. We told the
readers of this paper sometime ago!
about all the fine rooms which had j

But the Colonel does not confine
^himself to furniture. He is a farmer 1
(and real estate man besides. On his ^
jfarm below town he showed us Sat- ^
|Urday the finest herd of beef cattle 1
jWe have ever seen. There were (
! twenty-nine fine Tennessee steers in s
the herd and everyone of them as fat 1
(las a butter-ball. While we were *
ilooking them over, the owner closed i
a trade with T. H. Maxwell and 1
I
jRogea Simpson by which he disposed t
,of the entire lot.
I These steers were bought by Col.
I Calvert in the fall shipment from
jTennessee to Abbeville. He has had
jthem on his place since their arrival
feeding them and getting them ready
for market. Mr. Maxwell promises to '
have some of the fine beef which the
,steers will make in his market this
week and for two or three weeks
afterwards. Mr. Simpson will dis- (
