The agricultural lands Of the county
grow cotton, corn, sorghum, wheat,
oats, vegetables and fruits OF various
kinds equal to the lands OF Indiana,
Illinois, and North Georgia. The eli
mate here is mild. Wild grasses grow
very well, and on this account the
country is neil adapted to raising cat
tie, sheep, mules, hogs or goats. With
a little attention through the win
for two or three months, stock can be
raised here as well is i'll any country
af the South. We have open and for
sale to actual settlers or any ore wish
ing to invest, any quantity Of land,

Bolivar, the county seat of Harde-
man county, is situated on the Hatchie
river, at the head of navigation. It
is pretty town, and the inhabitan :
number about 1900. There is quite a
a number of little towns throughout
the county, all fourishing and good
points for business, most Of them being
located on one or the other of the two
railroads which pass through the
county. We need good, industrious
working men here to make this State
equal to any State in the South in Its
soil and productivcness. The climate
is good, and there never has been
known a time since it was first settled
that there has been a failure in crops.
In this respect this country SURPRISES
almost any other, and especially the
Western States, where frequently they
do not raise more than one crop out OF
three.
1t is folly for man who wants a
nice home and good country to live
in, go West and find it is all a no.
ton, which time Will prove. This is
the country to settle in, if you want to
live in Il good and civilized land. This
is the country where the free school
system IS getting better and better
every year, and any one can give
their children a good education who
chooses to do so. The society all over
the county is good. We have good
schools and churches, and there is not
a child in this county but what has the
advantages of a good education. There
are churches throughout the entire
county, Of nearly all denominations
excepting Roman Catholics. People
from all the States, as we'll as for
eigrers, will be welcome, and will be
treated well here.
There is MT now much quarrcling
over politics. The last Legislature,
} which has just adjourned, fixed upon a
plan and passed a law to settle our
State debt, and levied tax which
will not he burdensomc to any tax
payer. As it is now, after this extra
tax is upon us, we pay less taxes than
Kentucky, Alabama, Louisiana, Ar
kansas, and a number of other States
in the South. Besides, we have never
? rePudiated a single, solitary cent OF
} our public debt. 1t makes no differ
cnce here where man Is from, or
what his religion and politics are, SO
he Is man among men, and will GO
to work and make q good citizen.
ANY one who may sec this circl Ilr,
aR'l are DESTROYS to inquire further into
the particulars of the country, will
address letter to
