Grand Dakota.

ALI eady we have the muttered pre-
monitions of a great food of immi-
grafton that will burst in upon us the
coming spring. These welcome
sounds came to us borne upon the
fleet wings of the press and in writ
ten messages from friend to friend,
and they all c%orroborete each other in
the belief that an unparalleled influx
Of settlers would begin before the
first daisies of spring peep timidly
forth from the emerald sod. Dakota,
proud queen of tho Northwest, out
stretches wide her hospitable arms
and bids to all a hearty, cordial well
come within her eyer-open gates.
Her sun will shine with equal genial
ity upon the prince and the plebian.
Her soft breezes will kiss with equal
tenderness the brow of the million
aire and the laborer. Great seas Of
rich, productive soil are awaiting oc-
cupancy-waiting to pour it's wealth
OF golden grain into the markets OF
the world. ''Tickle it with u rlow
and it will laugh a golden harvest"
A grand and glorious future lies
ahead of our fair territory. The eye
of prophecy pierces the mystic veil
of the future, and we see her take
her stand in the bright galaxy as a
great sovereign state, one and undi-
vided, the envy and admiration of all
her sisters. We see her fair bosom
interlaced with railroads, oye the
glittering rails of which long. snake
like trains bear out her produce to
all the world. We see the azure
dome of heaven pierced by the lofty
spires of populous cities and we hear
he clanking wItels of industry
where now an air of solitude prevails.

The editor of The Southern Practition, r
reproduced this article in the February
number of that urnal for this year
and states: "From careful reading
OF his paper we find that he describes a
large area of territory, free, absolutely
free, from subsol moisture, climate
mild and equable, a soil capable OF
producing nearly everything necessary
for the comfortable maintenance OF
human life; surroundings that tempt,
nay, compel the greatest possible
amount of open air life"
Personally the writer can testify to
the general truths confirmed in DR..

and by frequent journeys in the saddle

Wight's article by residence on this

and by frequent jnurneys in the SADDLE
across from east to west and from the
Kentucky line to the Alabama border.
A PEOPLE WITHOUT CONSUMPTION, bv
+. NJ. WIGHT, NJ. d., Chattanooga,
Tenn.
During the ten years that | have
practiSed medicine in the neighbor-
hood of the Cumberland Table
Lands [ have often heard it said
that the people on the mountains
never had consumption. Occasion
ally q travelling newspaper CORES
pondent from the North found his
way down through the CumberlMds,
and wrote back, filled with admira.-
ton for their grandeur, their
healthfulness, and almost invariably
stated that consumption WAS never
known upon these mountains
excepting brought there by some
person foreign to the soil, who, if
he came soon enough, usually
recovered. Similar information came
to me in such q variety of ways
and number of instances, that
aeter4nlms1 sune four years ago.
WREN lAll4 AsA4e attempt to ut q State
Board Of Health organized was
first discussed by II few medical mel
Of our State, that | would make al
investigation Of this matter. These
observations have extended ovel
mat whole time, and have beel
made with great care and as mucl
accuracy rs possible; and, to my own
astonishment aud delight, | have
become convinced that pulmonar,
consumption does not exist among
the people native OF and resident
on the Tahle-Lands OF the
Cumberland Mountains.
In the performance Of the work
which has enabled me to arrive al
this conclusion, | have had the
generous assistance of more than
twenty physicians, who have beer
many years i'll practice in the
vicinity of these mountains. Then
knowledge of the diseases whicl
had occurred there extended over 3
period of more than forty years
Some of these physicians have
reported the knowledge of the
occurren Of deaths from con
sumption on the Tahle-Lands, but
when carefully inquired into they
have invariably found that the
person dying WAS not native OF the
mountains, but sojourner in search
of health. In answer to the question
How many cases of pulmonary
consumption have you known t'
occur on Walden's Ridge among
the people native to the mountains?
eleven physicians say, "not one.
All OF these have been engaged II
practice there more than three
years, four of them more than tel
years, one of them more thai
twenty, and one of them more thar
forty years. All the physicians o
whom inquiries have been made
are now residents, or have been
of the valleys contiguous to Walden
Ridge, and know the mountain
people well. Four other physicians
in answer to the same question, sa1
that they have known from one ut
four cases, numbering eleven in all
but had not ascertained whethe
five of them were born and RAISED
. on the mountains or not. The name
and Mace of death of all thes,
