Silver dollar luck tale and farm notes in 1887 issue
A jolly New York broker shares a tale of finding a silver dollar and the indulgent spending it triggered from train to theatre. The Southern Cultivator comments on fall oats acreage and spring sowing lessons, advising Burt oats and fertilizer practices, with notes on weather impact and sowing timing. The piece also features a personal profile of D. G. Hopps of Jesup, his long life, family, and public service. The fragment ends with a local anecdote about Pomp W ooruff’s cow and sheriff.
