Texas ridge and Cedar Creek
ridge are coming to the front very
rapidly. Much new land is being
brought into fine state of cultiva-

ments in the way of new buildings
have been constructed during the
past few years and many others are
in course of construction. There
are still many acres of very rich
soil to be cleared of stumps and

farm produce will probably do

fields.

a moonlight night and an ideal
time for the kids to have high
old time.
