hands at work chopping the weeds

The northern land buyers (?) left
last Saturday morning. We hear
that they thought they did not re-
ceive sufficient attention here and at
Jackson. The truth is, our people
have come to the conclusion that most
of the northern excursionists to this

have a good time, at as little expense
as possible, and that they don't care to
purchase land. These gentlemen we're
shown around the country by one or
two parties, and said they were pleased
with the country.
