There is an impression among some of our
fellow citizens that Mr.. Cyrus Clarke is not
the trustee of Mr.. A. L. Crawford in the
matter of the Coal Fees of land in Fentress
county, although his name is duly printed as
such upon the form Of conveyance. 1t is un-
necessary for US to defend Mr.. Clarkss position,
but to settle the matter for the benefit Of the
sceptical, We wrote Mr.. Crawford on the
subject. The following is his reply:
New Castle, Pa, Nov. 23d, 1882.
THOMAS PARDON, ESQ.
Dear Sir,-Yours of the Goth is to hand,
and in reply have to say Mr.. c. Clark was
selected as trustee in taking up the Coal Fees,
of land in Fentress County. When Rail
Road Co. is organized, the lands he holds as
trustee. will be handed over to the Rail Road
l. Coal Co., to assist in raising the funds in
part to build the road and open up the coal
for market. Yours truly.

We frequently notice in the Chattanooga
Times, the arrival Of fruit growers on Mission
Ridge, or the purchase Of lands for the cult
walton Of small fruits, showing what dis
tinctive name for soil and position Chattanooga
has obtained, and is obtaining, among those
who are ar-seeng enough to know there is
and ever will be money in the early production
of fruit. In Mondays paper we noticed the
leasing of IS acres to the west of Mission
Ridge, and the sale of 40 acres of ridge land
for $1,000. Ali is to be put under fruit. Now
there is no reason why Rugby, with its ridges.
and hillsides, and gentle slopes, and light soil,
proved to demonstration adaptable to fruit
growing, should not equally, with places of
similar conditions, take leading position in
the market as a fruit section. 1t will pay

Among the industries to be developed by
any railroad that may run at right angles to
the C.S.R.R., and that cannot be proftably
worked without railroad communication, is the
boring for coal oil, which is known to exist in
great quantities in Overton county, adjoining
Fentress county on its western side. Mr..
Killebrew, the late State Commissioner Of
Mines, etc, says in work on the resources of
Tennessee petroleum has been found at
various points in the State. In Overton
county there are many places where this oil
oozes from the surface. Spring Creek, in that
county, has given the fairest promise of
remunerative return. Ten thousand barrels
of oil have been obtained from the wells in
that vicinity, but the price of transportation
made the business Improbable. On Eagle
Creek in the same county, oil was obtained.
The depth to which the boring was carried was
less than 100 feet

Mr.. Hills, of Indiana, was staying for a
fortnight at the Iabard, a week or two ago
with very great benefit to his system, the air,
and climate of this fine plateau giving him the
health he had not known for years. On his
return home the change was so great and
detrimental to his strength that he and Mrs.
Hills determined to come and reside on the
plateau, and with that intent have taken Mrs.
Bush's house, near jamestown, for twelve
months with a view to farming.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

in with an "eager, nipping air." and
just enough snow to illustrate theseason,
The parallel of the Hebrew "Feast of

At the Tabard Hotel. with a Christian
forbearance that does the host infinite
credit, Mr. Ross gathered around his

present Messrs. c. H. Wilson, G..

Mr.. w. C. Robinson and Mr.. Pardon.
Mr. Walton was invited, but was unable
to be present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ross spared no pains
to second their invitation with a
very elegant, appropriate and complete
thanksgiving dinner; each guest feeling
the seasons were closing with an adj
ditional cause for thankfulness. Pre-
vious to the dinner the band played a
waltz, and afterwards, upon the veran

HEALTH AND CLIMATE.

health AND CLIMATE.
All health seekers, whether from Northern
or Southern States should try the climate of
the Tableland. The recent United States
Census shows it to be almost the only district
east OF the Rocky Mountains, entirely free from
malaral, pulmonary and intestinal diseases.
The Plateau has double climate, one
resulting from latitude and the other from
elevation. The air is pure and invigol ating.
The water is treeStone; cool and sparkling.
Mineral springs are numerous.
The mean summer temperature is II deg.
Fair, and in winter 81 deg Fair. The
nights are always cool and refreshing.
SOIL.
The soil is a sandy loan upon a mulatto
clay subsol. It's light frable, holds manure,
is easily cultivated and responds readily and
generously to the least fertilizer.
CROPS AND GRASSES.
Corn, wheat, rye, oats, and barley all grow
well, though this is not claimed as a grain
growing soil. Tobacco is profitable crop
here, as also is sorghum. Herd grass, orchard
grass, German and pearl milet, timothy and
red clover have all been tried, and take hold
and root well. Kentucky blue grass also
thrives wherever introduced. The natura!
pasturage is abundant.
VEGETABLES
Grow abundantly. Cabbage onions beans,
sweet and Irish potatoes all make fine return.
The Irish potatoes yield at the rate of 100
bushels per acre and are unexceled by any
grown in America. Sweet potatoes and onions
yield 800 bushels per acre.
FRUIT AND GRAPE CULTURE.
This region is especially adapted to fruit,
and particularly to the winter apple and the
grape. The apple crop here has never been
Known to fail. rhe trees are healthy, and the
fruit smooth, plump. juicy and firm. rarely
ever speaking or rotlng. The grape is also
sure crop where proper varieties are planted.
The vines are robust, and the grapes make
excellent wines. which are in good demand.
These two fruits are destined to become the
great and staple products of the Iabeland.
Straw berries, blackberries, raspberries, cur
rants. cherries, plums, and nearly all the small
fruits thrive and bear prolifcally.
