ly is blessed with everything needful
10 the human family. If all the land
in the world except East Tennessee
should sink into the ocean tomorrow,
the people here would suffer no IN
convenience so far as the necessaries
of life are concerned. And the lux
uries of life would not all be missing
either.
Here we raise the best of all kinds
of vegetables, an abundance of all
kinds of sereals, the best of beef cat
tie, hogs, chickens and etc. and in ad
dition, an abundance of wild game in
our mountains and fine fish in our
streams, which would insure US plen-
ty of meat. AS for clothing we can
raise cotton, and sheep do not thrive
better any place than they do in this
section of green mountains and fer
tile valleys. AS to water we are
blessed with the best water IN the
world from the cool springs of free
stone to the many different kinds of
health giving mineral waters so sabun-
dant here. We have enough coal,
iron, marble, zinc and slate to supply
the world; while our timber, from the
willow to the finest maple and walnut,
is almost inexhaustable. There are
places in this section which have sup
plies of oil as good and as abundant
as can be found anywhere and all
that is needed is railway facilities to
put it upon the market. If there is any
other thing that is necessary to the
life of man, name it and we believe
we can find it somewhere IN East
Tennessee.
As to luxuries we can with proper
cultivation raise all kinds of fruit, ex-
cept those which only grow in the ex-
treme tropical countries. The same
can be said In regard to nuts, which
grow wild in abundance. The finest
tobacco in the world grows in this
section.
Below we give some items clipped
from our exchanges which shows
something of the resources and also
the attention we are attracting
abroad.

The Germans around Allart are
wonderfully pleased with the success
of their tobacco raising experiment,
the crop being unusually large and
