The lime kilns are about 9 miles distant along the public road, and the price <strong>of</strong> lime has been generally<br />
about 16 cents the bushel at the kilns; but it is believed that better lime, and on better terms, may be had<br />
from more distant quarries. Good sand is two miles distant. The wood lands commence at about half a<br />
mile, and the brick yard with water is about 30 to 40 rods distant: space for the yard, earth for the bricks,<br />
sand for mortar, and water for both will be given.<br />
