luxuriant, promising as large a crop as
it ever produced.
The upland is very fertile, containing
a variety of soils, adapted to the growth
of tobacco, cotton, corn, wheat, rye and
oats; it is one of the best stock ranges in
this section of county. It has on it one
of the very best selected apple orchards,
