A rustic poem celebrates a homeland’s beauty and liberty. It calls for freedom from oppression, praising rivers, vines and flowers as symbols of a welcoming, untethered land. The verse envisions protected feet and tears no longer shed, inviting a pilgrim band to share God’s blessing.
The column cites Judge Buell and local cases to urge soil improvement on 400 acre farms near Geneva. It contrasts low prices and high potential after lime manure and crops, noting land rising from barren sand to 200 dollars an acre. It argues outlay of fifty dollars per acre yields higher long term returns and stresses timely adoption.
