 There are other localities where coal of excellent quality is said to crop out yet undeveloped.

 HEALTHFULNEsS AND PREVAILING DIS
 EASES.
 If we take into consideration the locality of the county, as latitude and longitude, being bounded on the north by spurs of the Ozark noun tain, which shelters to a great ex- tent from the cold blasts so common in the northwestern States-the gen eral range of the thermometer, to- gether with the springs and swclls of pure, cool water, and the number of chalybeate springs scattered over the country-the natural conclusion is, this is the place to find good health, and freedom from those ter ribIe epidemics and epidemic dis eases that so often visit other less favored regions. The diseases that have prevailed have been mild in their attacks, and have yielded read fly to treatment. In the low lands typho-malarial fever, with chills and fever in summer and fall, and pncu- mona in winter and early spring, prevail to some extent, but in the hillY regions, which embrace the greater portion of the county, there is almost entire immunity from the first named diseases, with rare yisi- tations of the latter--the death rate per cent. being very small.
