The ponds aud streams in this vicinity are

seen at any time during the day, especially at

Feeling that probably few items from this
section Of the country would be Of some in.
terest TO some Of your readers, will try and
sketch few
PINE NILS.
The population Of this place one year ago
would not number over fly persons but
since that time Il has increased to over FIVE
hundred, and has one hundred residences, one
public hotel three boarding houses one saloon,
(which we could do very we'll without), two
dry goods and grocery stores; one barber shop,
one tailor shop, three blacksmith shops, two
wood shops, two shoe shops, and one church
and school house combined.
FARMING.
The farmers, In general, seem to be busily
engaged in preparing theis lands for the com
ing crops, as though they. were determined on
raising an abundance Of everything to live on,
the soil being very productive although some
Of il is a little rolling. We are glad to see them
taking such an interest in the cultivation Of
the farms, as there bas-tsD,i great deal Of
money sent to adjoining counties formeal, -four,
corn, bacon, &C., as they are working to the
interest Of the county as well as themselves in
trying TO keep the money among ourselves.
COAL AND LunBER.
There are large amounts Of coal and lum-
Der shipped from this place. -Four different
saw mills are shipping lumber, and two coal
mines in successful operation. The coal ship
ped from this place is Of superior quality
and il known in the different markets As the
celebrated Pine Hill coal. II has been shipped
all along the line Of this branch railroad, and
on account Of its quality for household and
steam purposes, has found It's way to lexing-
ton, Covngton, and Bowling Green, Kentucky;
also Memphis, GAINESVILLE and Nashville, Ten
nessce, where II has gotten the praise over all
other Goals in the markets. The parties here |
have about forty miners each, and on account
Of the scarcity Of miners, are only shipping
about four thousand bushels Of coal per day. |
The capacity for mining and shipping will be
greatly increased during the next six months, .
so you and your neighboring towns need not
have any fears another winter Of being with
out fuel, but would advise and urge il upon
you all to lay up your coal during the summer
months for winter use, ii having gained such
great praise, and the demand being 80 great
from a distance during winter, the coal dealers
find It impossible to supply the demasd, Of
which you have probably felt the effects this
winter, and it should be warning to all in
future.
MORALS.
In conclusion would say that since we have
been freed from the sale Of intoxicating liquors
in our county, the morals Of this vicinity have
not teen disturbed and every one seems to have
an eye to business. Yours,
