When we cast . glance ct random
over the fertile fields Of the sunny
Sputh" with its wealth, culture aud
climate considered, and ask Ourself
the question, which Ia the most In
viting state for y man to- cart his
LIT, where opportunities present
themselves to advance hts interests,
his health, his wealth, his fbne and
talents to the best advantage,
where it will yield him the Quickest
returns on his investnentT we
think that Tennessee without n
doubt, stands without rival In The
South, barring the dark and bloody
grounds Of old Kentucky.
While We have Travelled over
East, West and Middle Tennessee
and noticed the products Of the
State and the enterprises of the
people, we believe, when we say
that it is the best all-around state
in the South, we know whereof we
speak. Tennessee can today boast
of as many different fields of action
for enterprises and agricultural pur-
suits as men could wish.
When it comes to raising fruit
West Tennessee is hard to down.
l have heard Of and seen the peach
orchards of Delaware, and l saw
more peaches growing on the farm
of John w. r 'sanOn at Gadsden
Crochet county, Tenn, than l ever
saw in the State Of Delaware. Not
only did he raise apples and peach.

When it comes to raising cotton
Tennessee has long been given ny
to raise the finest cotton in the
South. While tho cotton belt IN

When it comes to raising stock
for pleasure or profit, where could
you find a better country than tina,
around Nashville and Franklin and

play marbles" can make half q

When it comes to East Tennessee
I am often inclined to think of
