mile below he town, which is very rich & has been long under cultivation. They have no fence around their fields. Here is the public establishment for the Lower Creeks & here the Agent resides. He has a garden well cultivated & planted with a great variety of vegetables, fruits & vines & an orchard of peach trees. Arrangements have been made to fence 200 acres of land fit for cultivation & to introduce a regular husbandry to serve as a model & stimulus for the neighbouring towns, who crowd the public shops here at all seasons, when the hunters are not in the woods. The agents entertain doubts already of succeeding here in establishing a regular husbandry from the difficulty of changing the old habits of indolence & sitting daily in the squares, which seems particularly rivetted on the residenters of the towns. In the event of not succeeding, he intends to move the establishment out from the town, and aid the villagers, where success seems to be infallible. They estimate their number of gun men at 100 but the agent has ascertained by actual enumeration they have but 66 including all who reside here & in the villages belonging to the town. They have a fine body of land below & adjoining the town - nearly two thousand acres - all well timbered and including the whole above & below, they have more than is sufficient for the accommodation of the whole town. They have one village belonging to the town - Wetumcau.
