RARE OPPORTUNITIES.
What the South Has to Offer the
Homeseeker.
Rich Lands at Low Figures Early
Crops at Fancy Prices.

A certain small town in Louisiana,
and another in Mississippi, on the
line of the Illinois Central r. r. but
a few years ago had absolutely no
commercial Importance, and from
them-not dollars worth of produce
was sold TO distant market. This
season, however, it has required from
one of them. an entire fruit refrigera
tor car every day for six weeks to
transport its early Crops to the North
ern markets, while from ten TO twen-
ty car loads per day of vegetables
were shipped during the season from
the other. This is but single illus
tration. and by no means the most
forcible one that could be presented,
of the rapid development Of certain
sections Of the South, in profitable
agricultural section. There are many
localities in that direction, particul-
arly in Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana. on or near the line of the
Illinois Central Railroad, that, al
though, as yet undeveloped, are cap
able of easy cultivation, and will grow
the finest kind of fruit and vegetables.
Lands well adapted TO growing early
Strawberries and grapes, of quality to
bring fancy prices in the market, can
be obtained there very cheap-in some
instances as low as 81 per acre. The
availability of the Illinois Central fast
fruit and vegetable trains for sending
the crops to profitable markets adds
but final weight to the Security of its
being profitable enterprise toengage
in the development of these lands.

raphy of the country, character of the

tally adapted, prices and kindred mat
