Another gentleman whose nama
go in the list of enterprising farmer, 'AOud
whom information can be gained hv !. '.oa
is John, Bitney, a dairyman, stock.n.'Ml1
and farmer, who is located near Wis"s'ttf
creek. have not anywhere on INV a
met a man better posted on the. manno- UP
successful farming, nor have I. seen .t..V
prospects for crops than in his tial1 "ef
item worth special mention at his nlao, fa
a horsepower boring machine. which NV ~

From Mr.. Bitney''s / drove up the ,o,,
stepped a few minutes at Mn. Bishon,s ass
then called on my friend Dennis s,l;. au
OF the improvements made here >into w.
last visit, | may note the taking in Of na1s
land and putting in grain. His farm. INV.
ever, is mainly adapted to hay | was d,
appointed in not meeting aaMrs. :. ,na.
trust that he wifl'ere another year succeosl
in lassoing and tanning a fair one..
Another gentleman who is entitled to tM,
same,wish is Mr. Inglis, who is located a..
the junction Of the roads close to Sheriaa,
Since my last visit, the place has chanoea
to a new and attractive one, such as denote
a prosperity whichI am glad to mention
His new house is we'll: designed, neatly fin.
ished, and his yard is perfect floral md
fruit garden. In his granery andt store.
roomI noticed a large amount of flour and,
grazing but in his fields l must say there isa
surer prospect of 'hoppers than Of. a4larpu
yield of gram
Sheridan shows an advance somewh..
from last year, and from the flattering pros.
poets of the early opening OF good gold and
silver mines in the mountains near by. il
destined to be'a town OF considerable int
portance, and were as confident of its fu.p
tnre as some friends:whom | have met. and
who are not given to exageration, [ would
expect to see this town donned with court
cloth and a prominent .aspirant for Capital
honors ere another score OF prosperous years
have passed. The new school house lust
completed is a very .creditabler structure,
and is TO- occupied by. Miss Robertson.
The estimable teacher has sabouts forty pu-
pills. The next improvement to beaaddea
to the town is a new store or concrete sales
33xSS feet, to be erected by Messrs,
Hamilton & McCraner, the principal mer-
chants and obliging keeperssof the post Of
fee. The hotel is presided over by Mrs.
Mccoy and her daughters, and is frst-elass
in every respect. From the windows in Its
upper stery, one has a splendid view Of the
grand old mountains::that tower above the
magnificent valley, stretching along. for
many miles at their base. But this is not
all to be viewed and admired. Cozy farm
ers homes, long lanes and fences, e~ncircling
fields of green, waving grain cover over the
country several miles in extent, givingi 1t a.
beauty not easily, excelled.
