A Large Sugar Grower

Mr. James Mason of Farmington, has made fifty-two barrels of Illinois plantation syrup, or as generally termed sorghum, this year. He brought twenty-five barrels to this city yesterday to exchange for groceries, and found no difficulty in disposing of it on remunerative terms. The samples exhibited were of excellent quality, and to all appearances equal to golden syrup. – Peoria Transcript.
