Prominent among the characteristics of Kinds
county Is its deservedly high reputation for inte
gence and refinement. While for fertility and pro-
ductiveuess IL may not compare with many other
cornties in the State yet its soil is admirably adapt
"a to the maintenance Of large population, and
sufficiently fruitful to repay their Wen directed ef
forts in agriculture. Hence it is settled ny class
Of people FOR the most part II comfortable circun
stances, and with leisure to devote so the peusal OF
the current news Of the day. Many citizens Of the
State, who enjoy national reputation, ore residents
Of This county.
No little attention is paid TO education, a. Is
evidenced by the number OF academies and school
houses which dot tho country, giving substantia !
proof Of the high estimation in which its citize
hold those advantages which follow wherever the
schoolnaster is well sustained and paronized; aad
II abundance Of churches, erected for the
nence Of every neighborhood is any evidence
OF the existence Of morality and religion among
people, surely tie citizens OF Kinds may
he classed as a moral and religious community
for these buildings-hgmble or more pretending,
according to the circumstances OF the community in
which they are located-may be occupying
beautiful and eligible sights at suall intervals
| throughout the country.
The inhabitants TO enjoy high state OF pros
perty, and are surrounding themselves with many
o the comforts calculated 10 heighten their social
| enjoyments. The capitol OF the State, Coopers'
Wells, Holmes lnlrnary, and the Mississippi
Springs attracting large crowds Of visitors at certain
Of the year, AFFORD market for every surplus
article of consumption they eau raise, which gives
them a very decided advantage over other commu-
mites which do not have market at their doors for
those commodities they have for sale.
The liquor law seems to work admirably After
soiourn In the State Of several weeks during that
| time minrling with large crowds brought together
upon political and other OCCASIONS where there was
| no lack Of excitement have seen only two or three
| men at all intoxicated. have seen no grog shops
those sinks of niqnity from which have issued those
pestiferous streams which have polluted and corrupt
years in this and other States. They are all closed
up at least have seen none, and the people of this
State are far as liquor is concerned disenthraIled
| and free.
| Political excitement IL beginning 10 run very
i high, and the signs Of the times betoken another
/ Harrison campaign. The democrats and Know
Nothngs organising their forces diligently for
i vigorous defence Of their respective platforms
Both parties have called TO the hstinrs their alb est
try s thoroughly agtated upon the questions which
| are the subjects Of difference between them.
After long and almost unprecedented drought,
abundant rans have faen and the prospects for the
ipgatheYing OF large crops the coming fall are very
Rastering The heavens smile propitously the fer
tilixipg showers are blessing the husbandrnans toll
and Il IL almost reducedto certainty that there
will be no lack Of bread In the land the next year.
