There are some forty-six columns of information on each individual. Only the head of the household is addressed. I have chosen to use only six columns of information because I feel that this information best illustrates the wealth of the individuals. These are shown below: 1. Name of Owner 2. Acres of Improved Land 3. Acres of Unimproved Land 4. Cash Value of the Farm 5. Value of Farm Implements and Machinery 13. Value of Livestock Thus, the numbers following the names represent, 2, 3, 4, 5, 13. The following symbol is used to maintain spacing where information in a column is left blank(-). In some instances, information is shown as property acreage is rented. Jesse Pritchett, 80, 1900, 5000, 200, 500 James Poston, 10, -, 100, 8, 800 P. H.
