Excerpt from The Treasures of MayvilleSchool, but among his richest experiences, even from an educational standpoint, have been those crowded into the past eight years, during which he has been a vital part of the development of an agri cultural colony in a section of the south that before the War between the States was a veritable gar den spot, but which later reverted, in large measure, to a primitive state. Nowhere does determined, in telligent industry enrich life more generously than in the evolution of such a rural community, nowhere is the lack of such industry and foresight more severely punished. In such a community one finds the enterprising farmer who during the past quar ter of a century has converted an unproductive tract of less than forty acres into an ideal farm which gives him and his family an independent income and a home with all modern conveniences. N ear him may live another farmer who, with much better original opportunities, has grown poorer and poorer in purse and in spirit during the same period.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
