The University of N. C. Catalogue
for 1886-'87 Just received shows 240

in no preparatory department, the
number is quite satisfactory.
The faculty includes 15 teachers.
There are 18 lecture rooms, 6 labora
tories and museums for daily scien
tific work; a large general museum;
a select library of 25,000 volums; a
reading-room with 80 papers and
journals, and a fine supply of maps

A Model Farmer.
On last Saturday we visited the
'arm of C. S. Chaffin, in Carmi town
ship. Mr. Chaffin located a homestead
and timber claim where he now resides,
eight years ago. Like the most of the
Pratt county pioneers, he came here
with scarcely means enough to pur
chase a team and a few farming imple
ments and went to work. During the
years of 7VJ and 80 he suffered through
drouth and hail storms but never lost
faith in the ultimate prosperity of the
county, py careful and judicious man
agement he has now one of the finest
improved and most productive farms
in Pratt county. He has good build-
isgs, plenty of hue stock, well filled
granaries and broad fields of growing
wheat. He has on his timber claim
about fifteen acres of walnut trees just
coming into beating, and a large
amount of cotton woods. In the line of
fruit trees, he has nearly two hundred
apple trees, two large bearing peach
orchards, cherries, plums, pears, black
berries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.
Water for his stock and other purposes
is raised by a large wind mill. In the
season of '84 he sold two hundred dol
lars worth of fruit from his peach or
chard and expects a fair crop this year.
He has a hundred acres of growing
wheat that is in excellent condition
and promises an excellent yield. His
stock is all fat and sleek and there is
an evidence of thrift all about his farm
Mr. Chaffin has fully demonstrated
what has always been our firm belief,
that for profitable farming Pratt
is unexcelled by any county in the
world. Pratt County (Kan,) Press.
Mr. Chaffin was horned and seared
in this county, and we learn from his
brother, M. R. Chaffin, Esq., that he
left this county in company with some
parties moving to Indiana, on the 11th
of October 1886, with about $25 in
cash, in his pocket. It is a pleasure
to us, to chronicle the success of our
countymen, whether at home or abroad
but think if they had remained in their
native county, and put forth the same
exertions as they are compelled to do
in the , West, they would no doubt be
as successful.

those of foreign countries, gathering
every fruit that was calculated to
suit the So uth, both native and for
eign. The reputation of Pomona

agents going out from Greensboro,
representing other nurseries, try to
leave the impression that they are
representing these nurseries. Why
do they do ltf .Let tne public an
