vacation during which time we
travelled through several counties

by rail and perhaps 80 miles by
team. We stopped in a dozen or
more towns of various sizes and
with but one exception found none
that bore evidence of being SO pros
porous as our home village, crops

every tiller of the soil as well as all
others concerned have much reason
to be thankful we saw nothing on
our travels that would compare
with the crops in Grant county.
