A Good Place TO Move To

10 me cuHOf or me Herald ana 1HQII:
Seeing you have crop reports from so
many of the counties of the State, have
thought To give your many readers, q short
account of Lake County, West Tennessee.
Our crop is large, rs to 100 per cent, increase
acreage in cotton, 80 to 50 per cent. in corn,
. to 80 per cent, wheat and hay; yield OF
wheat 20 to 80 bushels per acre the best, 40
some wheat injured by continuance of
heavy rains. Prospects quite good of corn,
10 to Is barrels, and some claim 20 barrels,
on select fields. The next month dry,
with a late fall, it is believed we will make
l,500 to $500 pounds seed cotton per acre, we
usually make 1900 to 900. 1t has ratned al
most every day for three weeks. Believing
Lake County to be the best producing or
wOrkingman's county in our noble State.
we invite those wishing to move, to give our
county an examination. You will ind our
fine lands and farms comparatively cheap /;
ness to market considered; l60 miles to
Memphis, go miles to st. Louis, our princi-
pal markets. We want good farmers most
ly, some mechanics, teachers and preachers.
As this is the place to make money, we
want to teach the young people letters and
morals. We want some good steam mills,
saw and grist, with cotton gins attached.
We have large quantities of fine timber in
variety, with large amount of ginning, and
last, we want at least 1000 good cotton pick
ers, to gather our fine crops, there being no
disaster TO the maturity of the crop. The
writer will give other or special informa-
lon TO tho sc wanting to buy, lease or rent
lands in this county.
