Your correspondent took carriage
drive, last week, through Whitefed, def
ferson, Washington. Appleton, Liberty,
Somervile and Windsor. The crops GER

large an acreage OF potatoes through
that section as there was. last year some
fields have just been planted and give

Someryille we passed a few fields where
the grass promised fair crop or nay.

weed we found and as We neared the

we found it, The best roads We found

building of those roads, but nature GER
family raised some tremendous hills
