100 Union veterans living in this County repre-
scntiug nearly all Of the Northern States and
some Of the Southern. In my opinion this is
an excellent place as a residence for Northern
men who are getting we'll along in life and
physically require miIder climate Our Win
tiers are about two months long and much Of
that time above freezing. The soil is naturally
good, but has been badly worn out by long cul-
tiyation. The surface IS rolling, with the best
Of water, and it is quite healthy. The people
arc hospitable and obIiging. All vote as they
please, and have their votes counted. Schools
and churches are numerous Farms from
three to five miles from the Courthouse can be
bought for from - to SO per acre, which, with
five years Northern cultivation would, as I be-
lieve, net $50 20 so por acre. The people are
not prosperous. They raise cotton at a loss Of
ut least from one aud half 70 two cents per
pound, and many add 10 the above loss by buy
ing 50 per cent. Of their own folder. meat and
vegetables. which they should raise came here
one year ago from Wisconsin, and am well pleased
