established industries of the region.
The demand for this fruit is constantly
increasing, and large orchards are being
multiplied to fill the orders from steam
dryers. If capitalists should succeed
in buying the mountains for mining and
lumber purposes. the chances for cheap
and valuable homes for the multitude
would be gone. The force Of these
mountain streams is greater than would
be supposed from their height. Not
many miles distant is q waterfall that
turns mill with no artificial dam.
To the multitude of ihquirers who
have addressed me on the subject, /
would say that all that is required to
start for Tennessee and be successful in
making a home here is energy, perse-
verance, and little money to live on
the first year. OF course it is better to
be able to buy little stock as foun-
lation of ranch, but 500 will keep
family alive here, where fuel and rents
cost almost nothing, and fruits grow
wild, as long as ten times that amount
would in the city, where even the at
mosphere becomes real estate. No one
can starve ON dried fruits, vegetables,
corn meal, and game, nor freeze with
miles of forest on every hand.
Game here is varied and plentiful.
Within month we have had wild tur-
key, venison, rabbit, quail, squirrel, and
coon. Game should always be cooked
with thought of its wild flavor, and
a few moments parboiling in salt and
water, to be turned off and replaced by
fresh, makes it delicate and delicious,
and it Can then be cooked in any way
desired.
In this letter shall not refer to the
mining interests nor the desirability of
purchasing the valuable timber on these
mountains, for every yeAriis increasing
their value, and already suspicious
looking characters that belong to city
civilization are seen in the vicinity try
ing to purchase forests by the quantity.
Again say, if a man has pluck and
ambition, and is tired Of seeing his
wife and children denied pure air,a good
living, and home, let him raise what
money he can and start for the table
lands of the Cumberland Mountains"

There's spot in church yard far away,
Where in summer the grass grows green;
Where beneath rustllng elm trees shade
A moss covered stone is seen;
'Iis spot of solitude and rest
A place for the owlet to joy;
Yet. somebody's hopes are buried there
lis the grave OF noble boy.
In winter, alas that messy stone ..-.
Is hid meath shroud of snow
But around it in spring time, fresh and sweet,
The daisies and violets grow;
Aud DER it the summer breezes blow .-
With fragrance soft and coy; -
And the autumns dead leaves thckly strew
That grave of noble boy.
And every year there's a redbreast comes,
When the month Of May is nigh, W
And builds her nest in this quiet spot,
Mid the elm trees branches high,
While her melodies sweet, by the hour she trills,
As if by the scene rejoiced
Perhaps--who knowsp It's an angel comes
10 the grave Of that noble boy.
Yes. somebody's hopes are buried there,
Some mother is weeping in vain;
For, though years may come and years may 60,
He'll never come back again.
Yet blessed are those who die in youth,
The pure and the unalloyed;
Some road to Heaven, perchance,runs through
That grave Of noble boy.

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. The trees are healthy, and the
fruit smooth, plump, juicy and firm. rarely
ever speaking or rotting. The grape is also a
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 labeand.
Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, cur
rams. cherries, plums. and nearly all the small
fruits thrive and bear POLITICALLY.
