We are now about to commence harvest
ing one Ut the best crops of wheat our sec
tion has produced for many years past.
Our farmers all seem TO be well satisfied,
and some say they never had better crop.
The waving fields of wheat are beautiful to
behold There is quite a large acreage to
harvest. rather more than is usually sown.
We have no crOakers now.
Quite good crop OF clover hay has been
secured in good condition and the oat'
crop IS presenting quite good appear
ance.
We are vain enough to say that we have
one of the most productive localities in
our great county. Everything that is Ie-
uuirtd lor man OF beast Is produced mere.
Our locality seems We'll adapted to the
raising Of the best OF stock, namely, CAT
tie horses, &C.. to say no. hing of the i'm
mense quantity OF lumber, butter, eggs
aud poultry and fruits OF all KINDS; and
VIII, 1t yer there is any real estate ofleitd
for sale here and it is known, the property
soon changes hands.
There was a party from West Va. here
some two weeks past, who purchased nice
little farm last fall from Il. }. johnson,
some two miles north of our village. He
is quite we'll pleased with his purchase
Whilst here he was prospecting In the IN
terest of some of his friends in West Va
He was looking at a tract OF land near our
village belonging to A. J. Blakemore. We
learn he was we'll pleased with the lana.
And well he may br, for it is most val-
liable tract of land. but without Improve

in the way of any one wishing to purchase
it, there is valuable property near said
tract of land that can be purchased, con

together with a splendid orchard OF choice
apples also, plenty of grapes. The land

the Valley.
The property would be a most valuable
appendage to the A. j. Blakemore land,
and would remove the necessity of build
ing on the farm.

parties from West Virginia are looking
this way for lands. and we think induce

and locate with u.s. Our lands are valua

are visited more or less every year by per
sons from all parts of the country. Then
our mountains abound with the best of
mineral waters, where large numbers OF

sort during the heated term for recreation
and pleasure. Well may we rejoice that

an ours is a goodly heritage. N. l.. 3.
