peace and plenty. Health is

few; the girls Of our county are
so handsome that they seldom
pass sixteen single.

ing the soil for a crop; wheat
looks fine, land the quantity sowr
is large. Our little county seat
is quite lively place. Severa
new buildings are going up

here. There have been several
droves of hogs, cattle, mules
and horses bought in this place
and shipped, and the money OIL
its equivalent paid. Our dis
tillers have shipped a largequan-
tity Of whisky this winter from
this place, owing to our temper
