Sharon is beautifully located just five miles from 'Exeter, about .four miles from Crediton and about the same distance from Dashwood, so we have three good markets for our produce and all easy of access. The land is of the finest for all agricultural pursuits and in fact is much sought atter. be.ing divided mostly in fifty - acre farms, which commands a :high figure whenever sold. The people are very nearly all Protestants and of the Methodist creed, haying a church located here with the Rev. Geo. Baker as minister, and are noted for harmony in working together 'and for eaoh other. Then we have a publics school that is in high standing, with a very good attendance of scholars with Miss Lida Hall as teacher. Water can be had in abundance at a depth of 20 az.1 which is of mineral nature and very, " a '" v having the least num- aroun . ber of deaths relibizt. ti than au °U:wer section for miles LI e besides, a lodge of the Patrons at dustry, who are m good standing, financially end otherwise and is devot- ed to tbe interests of agriculture to all its branches.
