JAMES DONNELLY.

Referring to the* above progressive fanner, an illustration of whose comfortable home appears on page nine, it is fitting to say that his comparatively small farm, is as w r ell tilled as any in Jasper county. He raises a variety of crops, all of the greatest excellence and by the most approved methods. It is not putting it too strongly to say that he is a model farmer, and that his example is certain to be largely copied by his neighbors and result in great good to the county as a whole.

Gravel road building has just commenced in this county; there being only twenty three and a half miles of road nowcompleted.
