Entrance to the Oregon Farm

Entrance to the Oregon Farm

“An entirely unique feature of the hotel is the Oregon Farm, owned and operated on the edge of town on the New Market road by Mr. H. J. Brinson, the proprietor.  Here he grows some of the finest crops in the State, the yields of corn and cotton being phenomenal.  He also has a magnificent garden from which he gets vegetables for the hotel.  He has a magnificent drove of fine hogs which furnish meat for the hotel and a fine herd of Jersy's to supply milk and butter.  Chickens and turkeys are also raised, and with its beautiful fields always growing something and its fine barns, all modern in style and arrangements, the cattle, mules, orchards and vineyards, make a picture that fairly ravishes the eye.”
