FACTS ABOUT EAST TENNESSEE.
Items from Cumberland Table
Land. a
NUMBER V,


We give as number five of our East Ten
nessee articles, the following facts about
Cumberland Table Land, from reliable
correspondent, y. T. Custead.
LOCATION, AREA, SOIL AND CLIMATE.
Cumberland county is on the western
border of East Tennessee, about midway
between Knoxville and Nashville. It was
organized in 1855, from portions of White,
Putnam, Oyerton, Fentress, Morgan,
Roane, Rhea and Bledsoe counties, with
Crossville for its county seat. 1t lies al
most entirely upon the elevated plateau
known as the Table Lands of the Cumber-
land range of mountains, having an eleva-
ton of $500 feet above tide-water. It's
area is about $50 square miles, and its popu-
lation 3,461, as shown by the recent CEN
sus, or fraction over So TO the square
mile. It is bisected from northeast to
southwest by range of high hills, known
locally as Grab Orchard Mountain, Black
Mountain, Walden's Ridge, &c., with in
termediate gaps between, rendering access
easy. The principal streams are Daddy's
Creek and Obed's River, tributaries of the
Tennessee, and Caney Fork, q tributary of
the Cumberland, on the west These
streams are of considerable size, and like
all our mountain streams, very rapid, af-
fording unlimited motive power during six
or eight months in they The waters are
clear and limpid, offering in this respect a
striking contrast to the streams of low
lands throughout the South. They are.
however, but poorly stocked with fish, ow-
ing, it is to be presumed, to the usual low
stageof water during the fall months.
Westward from the range of hills before
referred to, and extending to the brink of
the mountain on the west, is broad ex-
panse of country but very slightly undu-
lating, and timbered with white. Spanish,
post, chestnut and black oaks, chestnut,
hickory, white and yellow pine, gum, ma
pie, poplar (whitewood), dc. Upon the
level uplands above referred to, the timber
Is usually of rather small size and the
woods quite open, resembling the openings
of the Northwest. During the summer
months, the entire surface is covered with
a luxuriant growth of grass and small
heritage, affording unlimited pasturage.
Occasionally, too, are met with natural
meadows or glades, varying in extent from
one to several hundred acres in each.

and produce in abundance a coarse but
rather nutritious grass, many of them be-

streams and upon the hill-sides sloping
northward, the timber is much heavier
and In greater variety.
