He still owns 500 acres of live oak land in Camden Co., Ga., finely adapted to the growth of Sea Island cotton. He is now dealing in live stock, grain and all kinds of produce, which he ships to the Chicago market. He is an extensive and successful dealer, and one who will not readily allow a rival to supersede him in his vocation. Mr. Udell has made two trips to California with horses for the race course on the Pacific Coast. He was formerly the fortunate owner of two well-known fast horses, named "Bonesetter" and Croxie", the former regarded as the fastest trotter in the world; he sold for the handsome sum of $10,000; and the latter having the best known record for a six-year old, he disposed of for $8,000.
