land that is poor as compared
with the others. Land can be
bought at from 50 to $50 per acre,
according to the quality. ALI our
lands are well timbered with pop

other woods. The timber on the
poorest lands is generally worth
more than is asked for the land.
Our productions, as we said be-
fore, comprise almost everything
that is raised from Maine to Tex

and other small grains, cotton, hay,
and root crops is all profitable
here, and is capable of being made
much more profitable still. Our

In order to bring out the produc
tive wealth Of our county we need
more laborers. We believe 1900
laborers more could find ready and
profitable employment in the fields
of Lincoln county. We would
be glad to see that many more EN-,
ployed here, for we could not be O.
verstocked, and our surplus then
would bring US in more money to
build more turnpikes and railroads
Our farmers ought to see to it, that
inc good citizen shall be persuaded
to leave here, and ought to wei
come and invite as many more as
possible.
AS we have said before, no coun.
| ty is better watered than Lincoln
county. Elk River runs entirely
through the comfy, and every few
miles the creeks are emptying into
it. We have never. that we now
recollect of, heard a farmerin Lin
coin county complain of the wan
of stock water.
Our mineral resources are entire
ly undeveloped, we may say. Mar.
bic of superior quality has been
! found in two or three places, but
they have not been worked at al
yet. 1t is said by good judges to
be much superior to the East Ten
nessee marble. We have been told,
too, that there are indications of
coal, but there has as yet been
no exploration or investigation.
There are indications of oil also,
and leases have been taken by
various companies, but no work
has been done. There have been
sufficient indications of minerals
to pay men of science and capital
to pursue the investigation farther.
We might say much more for
our county did time and space
permit, and we may recur to it
again. For all that we have
said we are willing to be tried by
actual investigation. We know
we have county, that will take
it's ranks with the first in the
State, when its wealth is develop
ed. Immigrants of the charac-
ter we have spoken of can assist
in its development and partake of
its prosperity, and We welcome
them among us.
