A Chinese Farmer. Claiborne county has the honor of claiming the only Chinese farmer in Mississippi. His name is Quong Thomas, and the almond-eyed Celestial runs a farm of 100 acres near Port Gibson, where he cultivates a fine variety of cotton, all of which is shipped to the Orient. Thomas has been quite successful, and within the past few years has accumulated a snug amount in the savings bank.
One of eight inspected printings of the same account about a farmer near Port Gibson.
