in order to make anything out Of ,
farm, that the owner should give |
his personal supervi sion, which tool
them out of towns, bringing tow
property down to panic prices. Their
when on the farm, he found that h,
had too much land-too much hat
to lie in the woods, and large acreag,
which had once been cultivated, now
on account Of poor and inconstant Ia
Dor, had to be abandoned; SO the greal
farms and plantations must either b.
sold wholly or in part, forcing, from
the vast quantity thrown into market
the price Of land lower as rule
thnu II has been in fifteen years. That
men did grow wealthy on farms, and
the fact that those who now can OBJ.
tain reliable labor, and give Their
personal attention to their farms,
will not sell, Is evidence sufficient ia
show that any one disposed to work
can do well In farming there. The
prices range on improved lands from
IS to 500 per acre, and on unimprov-
ed from 81 to S.. 1t has been said
that every useful product OF the soil
except coffee, can BIZ grown In Ten
nessee. Her cotton took the premium
ut the Cincinnati Exposition, and
her wool at the Worlds Fair In Lon
don. There was corn at the last
State Fair, forty cars of which made
q bnshel of sheiled corn.
Second, to those who wish to mine
or quarry.
There are iron furnaces, coal, cop
per, lead, marble. sandstone, and
zinc mines being worked in the State,
and with grand success, but 1.-THE
Of what might he done, however.
There are hundreds of excellent
mines and quarries which might be
leased fora small royalty and thous-
ands of acres of fine mineral lands
containing inexhaustible deposits Of
iron, copper, lead, zinc, marble, or
coal, might be purchased at from 81
70 SIS per acre. The quality of the
ores are celebrated for their excellence,
dnd the variegated marble Is simply
Unique In its beauty.
To manufacturers there are wonder
full attractions. H
Power being cheaper here than In
any other place In the Union, selec-
lions OF water-powers can be made
from q countless number in East
Tennessee. While coal entirely pure
from sulphur may be obtained at from
twelve to sixteen cents per bushel.-
The supplies of raw material are
abunant, and in close proximity, es
pccially Of iron, cotton, wool, and all
kinds of American timber. There are
excellent markets at home, health
full climate, full Of vitality and vigor;
large centres of population furnishing
abundance of cheap common labor
that can be utilized In no other way,
and wealth that will find its way
readily into factories whenever men
Of ability can be found to- manage
them.
The foregoing statements will con-
vinoe any one that intelligent, skill
ed labor will find sure compensation
and large opportunities.
