WING AND TRIBUNE :

Permit me, through your valuable
paper, to answer the inquiries of ma
nv who want to know something more
of Lake county, its crops, soil, health
and politics
All our crops are poor for this cOun-
ty. We are gathering 1000 to 1900
pounds of seed cotton to the acre, and
6 to barrels of corn. Wheat was
very good, made 20 to IS bushels to
the acre. Hay and fruits moderately
good only. Our productions this
year are about half the usual crops
made here. Have not had a good
rain since the 18th of April. 1t is
now too dry to break our wheat land
as well as we would like to do. We
have usually made 1.500 20 $500
pounds Of cotton and to u barrels
corn and 2 to tons of hay. Per-
haps many of your good citizens will
not believe this with free good viii.
Well, gentlemen, I will refer you to
Messrs. d. S. Gardner, who farmed
here some ten years, also Rev. r. B.
Jones and DIR. Tucker, all of your
county, who have very recently been
here and seen and heard from men
who work the soil.
About the soil, it is a black sandy
loan generally. Some of it is called
buck-shot or stiff land, all very rich.
Indeed we have no poor pipey or bog
gy lands in our county. These fine
lands are to rent, lease or sell, at
reasonable prices.s
We have fine health generally, no
flux, no cholera, no yellow fever. 1
think we have more chills than you
do in the healthy parts of Madison
county.
We are Democratic, never gave a
single Radical vote in the the coun-
ty. We are a quiet, civil people, have
no one In our Jail, owe no county
bonds, pay 80 cents on the 500 coun-
ty tax, have moderately good church
es and schools. with fourishing
oranges and Lodges of Good Tenn
plars, have plenty of supplies, corn,
wheat and meat, to spare TO new
corners, and can sell you as fine land
as there is to be found in the United
States, at 5, s and 10 dollars per acre
in the woods, and improved lands at
10 to 80 dollars, according to improve
ment.

HENDERSON, Oct. II, 1874.
Messrs. Editors:
The monotony of summer life in
our little town is broken with the
coming of the stir and activity of
the fall and winter business; and,
although the crops are short in this
neighbOrhood, we have assurances
that the farmers are determined to
ease up the hard times by bringing
forward their cotton and placing it
in the hands of their merchants,
who have carried them through the
year. They could Go nothing bet
ter. 1t is such reciprocal tavors of
this kind that ave tn dangers
of the hardest times.
Our energetic farmers, seeing the
havoc OF the late drouth, set brave
~ to work to wiring victory ont OF
defeat, and planted largely of tur-
nips and rye, and with the fatter-
ing prospect for potatoes, may hope
to have plenty to keep starvation
from the door. One fact is notice
able and generally remarked, that
the hog crop is better, in this sec
ton, than it has been for years
and, instead OF the two and q halt
barrels of corn that vas necessary
to fatten hog, it will now only re
quire one barrel to put him in con.
djtion for pork. Among the items
ofinterest to our town and the sur.
rounding country, I may meution
that our new Masonic Institute
building is about completed, and
that Prot. Savage has moveo into
il. 1t is an ornament of special IN.
terest to our citizens, and we can
now give assurances TO those inter
ssted in schools, that we are pre-
pared to accommodate ali desiring
to avail themselves of good teach
ers, good society, and healthy 10
cation for their children and wards

IMMERSION AT THE RIVER
The Forked Deer river is crossed
to the South OF the city by what
is known as the McClanahan levee.
The river at this point approaches
nearer Jackson than at either of the
other causeways, being visible from
the Court House cupola at dis
lance of about one mile. The road
leading to this levee is a continue
ton of Bolivar St., the thoroughfare
that passes along the west side OF
the cemetery. On Sunday after

Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1874-10-17

To w. P. D., NATcHEz, Miss
We have received letter from a gen.
tleman living in Natchez, Miss, who
among other questions asks the fol
lowing-"Can I rent farm, say from
100 to $50 acres two or three miles
from Jackson, and if so, at what
price,"
We suppose you can. The price
per acre will depend on the improve
ments, the quality of the land, and
other conditions that we need not
mention. A good average farm of
100 acres with a comfortable residence
aud good Outhouses, located two
miles from jackson, would command
50 per acre at the lowest rate, and
would range from that amount up to
80 per acre.
