week selected the farm In Harrington

sketches, "a some seem to suppose, to
boast Of any mans success or riches,
or to institute inyidious comparisons;
but only with the idea that they will
prove Of interest to many and that
they may contain facts which will be-
come practical suggestions to those
who are honestly seeking Information.
