bordercd by thick growths OF timber. Both
sections are healthy. as is we'll attested by
the hearty appearance OF many of our aged
farmers who are entering upon their fifth
score OF years.
The country is traversed by many beau
tiful streams, and numbers OF delightful
springs are to be found in every direction.
In the yield ofnational grasses this county
is unsurpassed, and as an inevitable result
it is beginning to be filled with choice
breeds OF blooded stock. Cattle can be
raised here with greater ease, and with less
expense than in any other section of the
South.
Although there are some indications OF
coal and iron in different portions of the
county, yet no important development in
the mineral line bas, as yet, been made.
In the northeastern part OF the county,
about Is miles from Aberdeen, Greenwood
Springs is situated; this watering place,
although but little known outside OF the
county, possesses water of wonderful cur
ative properties, and the time will soon
come when il will be a great popular re-
sort. The Kansas City Railroad, lately
completed. now makes it easy of access.
The school advantages of Monroe county
are excellent, both public and private, the
taxes light, and the morals OF the people
unexceptionable.
The county bridge over Tombigbee riv.,
er, connecting Aberdeen with the eastern
division of the county, is an iron draw
bridge of the costlest description; the
Kansas City Railroad bridge is also a
splendid structure. Both Of these bridges
ase built where the bluffs of tire river are
high, which causes them to present quite
beautiful, and picturesque appearance; their
height giving them an expression of air.
