In speaking OF Cobb county and
her advantages, [ wish to mention a
few more material and prominent
points that tend to her welfare and
no doubt will be encouraging to the
party or parties seeking investments
or homes.
We mention first, that we have
rich productive soil, sufficiently roll
ing to drain we'll, with a stout red
clay sub~soil, which is good hard
pan and prevents the fertility of the
soil from sinking. The soil is mixed
sufficiently with sand so as to prevent
baking or hardening as in some other
sections. With proper cultivation,
the lands respond freely 10 producing
corn, wheat, pats. grasses, cotton
clover, peas, millet, potatoes, etc,
and all fruits common to this climate.
Also, all vegetables and garden
truck suited to the Southern cli-
mate can be grown in abundance.
LanGs are chea2 and can be bought
'Is25 per acre, and sometimes on he
annual installment plan. The water
powers are numerous, furnished by
several creeks and by tie Chatta
hoochee river, which flows along
the entire eastern and southern
border OF the county. We have,
within the borders of this county,
besides the several towns and vii
lagos, two noted mineral springs,
to wit: The Bowden Lithia, or Salt
Springs, at Austell, and the Pow
der or Sulphur Spring, at Powder
