A ride through the country during this week
and the previous one, has been the occasion Of
much surprise at the growth and prosperity OF
the country. Hundreds Of acres of land that a
year ago rode over and saw unfenced and un-
broken are to-day enclosed and covered with
tuxuriant crops Of wheat, rye, oats and hum
garian.
The few fields Of winter wheat that saw are
very cheering TO their owners. The reapers
are ready and the harvest has actually COM
menced.
Everywhere the people are jubilant. The
almost positive certainty OF excellent crops,
aud the buOyancy given to the value of real es-
tate by the railroad prospects, has effectually
closed the mouth Of all grumblers.
Most Of the spring schools closing. The
schools are all in a cOmmendable condition.
Reports on schools will be made as early as
practicable. A. u. CHAMBERS.
