great many foolish things of which this

the advantage of running water in
almost every field, consequently many
plantations in this section are admirably

more attractive and lucrative business of
stock raising. The latter seems to be
more generally pursued, now, in the

On the farm of another gentleman

shown some very fine mixed breed of
cattle, that seemed in very fine condition,
