Onr ImnrOYements.

If any person who had been familiar
with our County, six or eight years ago.
were to pass round through rne dirrerem
neghborhoods now, he would be utterly
astunshed to see the Improvements that
have been made within the time above
mentioned. Miles of large open bitches
have been cut, and hundreds Of miles of
under drains leading into these main
bitches have been made, thus conveying
the water from the level lurmlands of the
County, and making lands that had previ-
ously been regarded almost useless for till
are, the best corn lands in the State. Then
looking upon the improvements upon
farms, the many fine houses and barns
that have been erected, together with ex'
tensiye road improvements that have been
made, the wonder is, where the immense
amount Of money comes from that enables
our people to make these improvements
that have come almost 10y magic, as it
were. From muddy, unpleasant sur
face, roads half the year bOtlomless, and
the whole face of the country, six months
in twelve, admirable suited to the habits
of ducks and geese, the whole area of the
country seems to have been transformed
in the short space OF tight years, to a dry |
surface, with the best turnpike roads lead
ing through every part of it; and the en-
tire County seems to wear the appearance
of prosperity, and is inhabited bya people
full of energy, possessing spirit Of I'D
vancement, hitherto unknown in Fayotte
County. We have reason to be proud Of
the enterprise of the people Of our Coun
ty. To this lndonlitnble spirit we are in-
debted for magnificent system of road
making that has rendered our County one
Of the most pleasant to locate in, within
the State. We have good roads at all
times of the year, and nobody knows how .
to appreciate these improvements more
highly than the people Of Fayette county.
Persons who have means to purchase
good farms can find no more desirable
place in which to locate, than in this !
County. and persons looking for perna-
lenU homes would do well to visit our
Jsunty, ''before making purchases else
