|. "Trip out through the Pleasant
Flat the garden spot of Mason
county revealed the fact that
many of the farmers seem to be in
a most prosperous condition, not
withdrawing The low price of farm
products. Our friend, Sheriff
Gardner, has his farm mansion fixed
up in splendid style, barns and
fences in good repair, and the
place as clean of weeds and briars,
as can be.
Then we struck onr friend Asa
Musgrave, where we spent a few
mdmentsd He has splendid family
andsa beautiful farm, and every
thing about him is as bright and
clean new pin.
Next we came to Max Rayburn's,
but did not stop. He has one of
the prettiest places in that section
of the county, and his crops look
promising and abundant.
Then we fell in with Dan Van
Matte, who has a beautiful place,
and a splendid wife. Dan is fill
ing that country upwith wire fen
ces, tl,pt he weoves and makes him-
self,
We met DIR. Girard and his good
wife, at Mr.. Asa Musgrave's. The
Doctor, too, hasa nice place, and
has it in pretty good condition.
We passed many farm houses in
our rovings through the Flats, and
all the owners gave evidence of
thrift, if the cleanliness of their
farms and the good condition of
their buildings were an indi-
cation: The rural residents of the
Pleasant Flats are all good farmers,
and have crops every year, when
crops fail in many other portions
of the county.
There are no better or more hos
pitable .people anywhere i'll this
good land than are to lie found III
