SPRINGFIELD, Tenn, Feb. 20, 1S7I.-In
Robertson county there are Crooks and
hills and brooks and Wales, as is the case
with most of the counties in Middle Ten
nessee. 1t borders on Kentucky and
! joins Logan county of that State; has an
area of about $50 square miles, aad con-
tains a voting population of about 3, 900.
Springfield is the county sest, and with
its population Of 1900, is not behind its
sister towns of the State in thrift and
enterprise. CoOpertOwn, TurneTsville,
Cross Plains, Barren Plains and Black
Jack are thriving country villages. Adams
Station and Cedar Hill are stations on the
Edgeield and Kentucky Railroad, and
are rapidly growing into importance as
places of trade and shipping points for
tobacco and produce generally. The soil
of the county is varied, and land can be
bought at prices ranging from s. to $40
per acre. The best lands are found south
of Springfield and along the Edgefeld and
Kentucky Railroad west. Artcmus Wards
observation that rivers, NJ matter how
much they need to crook and meander,
