The GREAT KANwHA VAILgS

The GREAT KASAwHA VALLEY.
This ''locar' had4 trip to the Ka-
nawha Valley last week, and being
a stranger there he was surprised 10
see tie extent and richness of the
Kanawha bottom ms. They are splen-
did: the land is of the very first
quality, and the farmers as q general
rule, are careful, energetic and well
skilled in their business. They have
good houses, fine stock, improved la-
Dor saving tools and utensils, and
make abundant crops. The wheat
crop there this year, was an e1traordi-
nary one, both as to the quantity and
quality Of the grain; the corn Is
magnificent; the growth is luxuriant,
and there Is a large acreage planted.
The fruit crop also is fine. The
quality OF the land is equal to, if not
superior 10 the prairie lands of the
West. We saw splendid crops Of
corn on lands that have been cultiva-
ted continuously for over 90 years,
and vet show no diminution in their
productive qualities A good deal of
attention is paid also to stock. We
saw some very fine Mules and Horses
raised there and on the place Of Mr..
McCulloch, father of the candidate
for the Legislature from that county,
some splendid specimens of Durham
Cattle, Cows, Bulls and Calves.
In addition to all these advantages,
the mineral resources of the Valley
are unsurpassed.
Iron, Coal and other minerals
abound. and when this Valley is
/ brought into direct communication
with the Eastern Markets, ii will be
one of the most desirable places in
the United States, in which to I've or
hold property.

Of over 81, 600 was raised, and some
gentlemen agreed to secure, By theii
personal bond, the amount necessary
for use, before December next. The
completion of this school lie of great
Importance to the denomination, and
will he a grand thing for the people
of this valley.
Judge Ferguson, by his clear, prac-
teal common sense logic, did much
to help in this matter. The Judge
is not member of any church, but
he feels a great interest in the cause
of education, and is doing all he can
TO help this school
There were number of interesting
addresses made, fine sermons preach
ed, DC.
The weather after Friday evening
was rainy, but it seemed as if it made
little difference in the crowd attend
ing the meetings. There were, at all
the meetings nearly twice as many as
could get into the house. By the
churlishness Of man named Dunn,
they were denied the use of a school
hous eopposite the church, and also
of the only available grove in the
neighborhood.
On Saturday evening Judge Fer.
guson delivered lecture on Temper
ance, which was listened TO by a
crowded house, and which will no
doubt do the cause of Temperance
much good in that neighborhood.
There were sermons preached on
Sunday by Revs. P. B. Reynolds, A.
f. Dickinson, Jonathan Smith and
A. L. Jordan.
The delegates to the Association
were treated with whole-souled hos
piiality by the people of the neigh
borhood. which made very pleasing
impression. The meeting adjourned
on Sunday afternoon, till the Thur
day before the 4th Sunday in August,
1873, at Leon Church, Mason county.
