ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT.14
And this, notwithstanding the Surveyor-General's report for the year 1815 says that the land was unfit for cultivation and not worth the expense of surveying.
Our State now shows admirable farms, with beautiful homes and an enterprising population, not surpassed anywhere. From humble beginnings and by timely perseverance and well directed enterprise they have won wealth for themselves and fame for the State. It is with cherished satisfaction that we look back to the primitive wilderness homes forty or fifty years ago,
