The young timbers are exceedingly thick,on the ground, all 
over the country, and the table is a good average of their 
character. The small amount of white oak, and the large. 
amount of black oak, on low and high ground alike, in these 
woods, which have grown up within twenty-five years, is wor- 
thy of notice and earnest consideration. This is the character 
of the forests until Mayfield creek, three and a half miles from 
Mayfield, is reached. Location, six miles from Murray, a 
nearly level table land, very fertile.
