Two More Letters Intelligently Answered

Two more leUbers 1nCeIlSenCly Answered.
Meadville Pa. Republican.
Mr.. EDITOR 1 am still troubled some,
but you are somewhat to blame for it, mas
much as your having published my former
letters called forth a number of inquiries
from other sections of the Union with re :
gard to East Tennessee, and they still con-
tinue to come. No matter. AS long as you
will favor me ''space" in the columns of the
Republican, will continue to answer them,
and with pleasure. There are two letters I
desire to answer in this communication.
The first one is as follows:
CHIoANo, October 8, 1880. W. Charl-
ton, Knoxville, Tenn.-Dear Sir Being an
old resident of Crawford County (Meadville)
l take the Republican, and of course read
your article in the last issue. I am thinking
of going to Tennessee, and would like you
to give me little information, if you can
conveniently. What would oak timber
land cost me an acre in your vicinity, near
a railroad, and how many thousand feet
would an acre cut 2 How much would this
same timber be worth on the cars there !?
If you can inform me on these questions,
you will much oblige, etc."

1. Oak timber land can be bought near a
railroad for about ten dollars an acre.
2. An acre of oak will yield about 10000
feet of sawed lumber, costing, three-q quar-
tiers of mile from the railroad, in the
neighborhood of four dollars thousand;
worth on the cars twelve dollars. Railroad
tie stuff ten dollars; number one oak stuff
shipped to New York will command $40 90
thousand.
know of two immense tracts of land,
one containing 80, 600 acres, and the other
40, 900, which abound in a great variety of
timber, such as oak, pine, hemlock, hick-
DRY, ash, poplar, walnut, &c. Both are
drained by the Little Tennessee River, on
which the timber can be RATED to railroad
station The owners will sell both tracts at
a reasonable figure.
If the gentleman writing to me on the
subject of oak lands or any kind of tim
bered lands will address Mr.. J. r. Gilmore,
Asheville, N c., he will obtain valuable in
formation.
Another gentleman writing to me from
Union City, Erie Co., Pa, remarks that he
had read my letter to the Republican and
wants information on various topics, such
as timber near an outlet" is there much
walnut and ASH how far from an outlet;
how long does it take for peach trees to
come to bear from the nursery, and how far
from Knoxville to Cincinnati, &c.
Concerning timber, let him read what
say elsewhere on this subject, We have
walnut timber, but considerably thinned
out. There is still a good deal left but
somewhat inaccessible. Ash can be had
almost anywhere; plenty of oak. Peach
trees will commence bearing in three years
from the nusery. AS the trains now run, it
is about 500 miles from this city to Gin
cinnati. By January next there will be a
nearer route completed, by about two hun
bred miles. He says that his wife suggests
that he is too old (sixty) to come to this
country. / can't see that that makes any
difference. 1t matters but little where a
man dies He can die as happy and as near
heaven in East Tennessee as anywhere on
earth. We are along lived people here, and
never die till our time comes Our short
and mild winters, our genial climate and the
social character of our people are conducive
to health and to longevity.
am still asked by other parties if I know
of any number one farms for sale, price and
terms. I do. l know of two estates espe-
cially, that are hard to beat, in any section
of the Union. One is in sight of Knoxville,
containing six hundred acres, and hand
somely improved. The other is east of this
city forty miles, containing 800 acres. Here
is one of the finest farms in East Tennessee,
and right at a prosperous railroad station,
and fiourishing village. There are two
hundred acres of river bottom land, and all
in one body. The upland is good and plen
ty of timber. The neighborhood is excel
lent. Both farms are desirable. There are
still others that can be had on reasonable
terms. G W. CHARLTON,

Obituary..

Died, in Wellington, Ohio, May II 1882,
Mrs. Lyman B. Sprague, in the fifty-first
year of her age.
Mrs. Sprague whose maiden name was
Anna Nesbit, was the daughter of Mr.. VIM.
Nesbit, of Avon Ohio. She was born May
20, 1921, in Madrid n. Y, and moved TO
Huntington in 1855 with the family of Mrs.
Horr Robinson, of which she had been for
several years valued member.
In her early childhood, she united with
the Baptist Church, of which she was a
consistent member during the remainder
of her life. She taught many terms of
school in the vicinity of Huntington, and
was well known as successful teacher
and a kind friend to her scholars, many of
whom now mourn her loss, and will long
cherish her memory.
In 1861, she married Mr.. Lyman Sprague
and assumed the responsibility of caring
for his aged parents and motherless child
ren. To say that she did her duty by them
all would be faint praise. She was dis
interested wife, daughter and mother. 1t
may safely be said that the grandparents
never missed daughters care, nor the
children that of a loving mother. Thorough
ly unselfish in all things, she devoted her
life and her energies to the interests Of her
family. Though too retiring by nature to
attract large circle of acquaintances, she
found a warm place in the hearts of
those who knew her best
T.. l. sol~ L.
painful, brought out all her inherent good
qualities. While her reason remained she
was ever mindful of the comfort of those
around her, and often said of her husband
and daughter, "who will care for them
when am gone"
She had no fear of death, her only anx-
iety being for those who remained. For
the husband and children, neighbors and
friends, her vacant place can never be filed.
