We don't have ponds here and
no creeks and don't have much
stagnant water; what water there
is here runs in the bitches which

Soil runs from twelve inches to
forr feet deep, but plenty of poor
land in this, Scott county. Health
is reasonably good here; but little
sickness.
But | will ring off. Best wishes
to the Press and readers.
