proved not TO be as good assortment f. 1
market purposes as some of the later varie-
| ties.
The crop from this point flHetuates from
5000 70 1000 boxes "a o. a bushel u the
box according TO seasons. A total failure
of the peach crop Is rare thing; have not
had an entIre failure for four or five years.
Ii Is more desirable and profitable than the
| cotton crop for several reasons. Ii brings
money into the country whea there is a
general scarcity of it, the crop is soon gath
| cred aud marketed while cotton requires
ineessant labor FROM January to January.
LANDS AROUND CRYSTAL SPRINGS
are worth from $40 to $25 per acre according
| to quality. lands, more distant from
| town can be purchased at from
| three to five dollars per acre.
Although the times have been hard
property has generally held its own, and we
| firmly believe, that in less than ten years
property will be worth three times as much
as it is now.
ALL KINDS OF GRASSES DO WELL,
and the farmers are paying some attention
| TO fine stock raising. Glover grows finely
here. have seen il in the month OF May
| full of blossoms and two or three feet in
height. Mr.. L. j. Rhymes has five or six
acres growing and it is as tiue as any that
grows in the clover regions of the West.
| The country here presents fine field for
immigration and for the judicious invest

TERRY.
This Is a very pleasant little village locat-
ed about ten miles north of Crystal Springs
in the county of Kinds.
The country is very different in some re-
| spects to that ofCrystal Springs. Instead
of small farms as we have at Crystal Springs
there are tracts of land from 1000 to 1000
acres. This would be splendid for the To-
cation of colonies of immigrants. The
| lands are generally productive and well
adapted to the cultivation of fruits and to
growing stock. lt is as large or even a
larger peach growing country than that of
| Crystal Springs. Terry and the adjacent
country Is settled up by fine class of peo-
pie and they have also fine church and
school advantages, We have such old set
tiers there as Hon. A G. Brown. who has a
national reputation, Halberts, Tribbette,
| Bracey, Thompson, McRaes, all men of pro-
perty and Influence. They should seek i'm
| migration, divide up their large tracts of
| land into small areas, and new impetus
would be given to the growth and develop
ment of their resources. A few miles above
| Terry at Byram there is an mex haustible
mari bed which will prove valuable as a
fertilizer along the line of railroad,
HAZLEHURsT.
| HazIehurst is located about ten miles be-
| low Crystal Springs on the same railroad
and in the same county. AS you go from
| Crystal Springs towards HaZlehurst, you
strike the plney woods which gradually
| becomes more undulating. The soil around
| HaZlehurst is even more sandy than that at
| Crystal Springs although more broken.
| HaZlehurst is very nice village of about
| the same population as Crystal Springs, and
| the county site. 1t is not as large a ship
ping point for fruits and vegetables as Crys-
| tai Springs and Terry, still the people ship
| considerable amount of fruit and vegeta-
| bles. They also have fine schools and
churches, and the country is settled by an
| industrious and hard working class of citi-
zens Several Northwestern families have
know how they have succeeded. Northern
too much. Till they become accustomed to
out what crops are most remunerative they
will meet with many discouragements
which will finally be overcome.
The three points Terry, Hazlehurst and
| Crystal Springs from what is called the
ruit belt along the line of this road The
soil aud climate are naturally adapted to
| the growth of both fruit and vegetables and
you can already see a new prosperity mtuS
ed into the people by thus diversifyiug their
industries. We have great country here,
Western lands no doubt are richer but we
have climatic advantages which the West
can never possess. Thousands of acres of
land are lying idle and ready for the capital
and energies of both the North and West.
We all invite you to leave your crowded
cities and workshops and come to a land
which is destined to be a land of plenty and
prosperity.
Respectfully,
S. III. STACKHOUsE.
