A trip through the northern portion of
the county, developed the fact that farmers
are working their land more thoroughly
than during any previous season. Grain is
from two to four inches high, and although
rain is needed, yet the young plants do not
appear to be any less vigorous than hereto
fore.

lots, ard painting their houses A little
enterprise and taste displayed in this direc-
ton not only beauties the village, but

town Tuesday, and from him we learn that

erty of this description should meet wit
every encouragement-in hopes that til
