  Mr. G. C. Hopper, who has been manager of the Gaulden place,Okipilko 
Plantaion, for perhaps 40 years, has relinquished this task and retired to his 
own farm near Nankin. Mr. Charles Mitchell has taken over part of the 
management of the Gaulden place, which has recently been divided by the heirs, 
and is living now at the old home. Mr. hopper has made something of a record in 
his work on this large place in the past and it is said that has never bought a 
bushel of corn or a piece of meat for the place, in other words, it has paid 
its way.He has seen farming in Brooks county undergo many changes and is one of 
the active men in the county who is familiar with the old days when the county 
led in diversified methods and was known widely for its production of hogs and 
bacon products.The word "Old Days" are used as applying to the time when a 
group of well known men, many of whom have passed on, were leaders in the 
county's farming. Mr. hopper has been successful in his work and many friends 
in the county will be interested to know that he has finally gone to live on 
his own place and will wish him continued success.
