Tennessee as a State can not be
surpassed, and just now her en-
terprising people are using every
effort toward developing and pIac-
ing before the world the resources
which lay within her borders
she is widely known to the world
as one ofthegreatest mineralStates
of the Union. Notwithstanding,
her manufacturing establishments
are limited, they are almost daily
increasing. A number of fertilizer
factories are being established in
the State, and the material from
which the fetilizer is being made.l is
mined therein. The phosphate
interest in the State is growing
more active each day. The guam
tity and quality far exceeds thai
of any found in other states, and
to-day stands out thus to the
world. She is not only the prouf
posessor of her rich beds of phos
phate, but can not be surpassed b!
any of her sister states in the wa
of iron ore minerals.

Dear Editor of the Courier:
Will you please allow me a lit
tie corner in your valuable paper.
I want to say a few words % my
friends and relatives who live in
Hardin county, where | lived 81
wears. But | like many others,
decided to find"that better place"
and am glad to say | have found
a good place, and am thus far ia
vorably impressed with my new
home and its surroundings. The
land is very fertile and produc'
tive, crops are growing off nicely.
I am cultivating forty acres OF
corn this spring. Farming here
is con lucted in a very different
way to what it is there. The cul'
tivator is used almost exclusively,
which makes farming a very pleas
ant as we'll as profitable occupa'
ton. When | am out of my crop
I can get 81 per day for wood
chopping and other work. | DOM
think it will be as hard for me tc
support my family here as it was
back there. can't say anything
against my old home, hut | wisf
nv friends could find os good
home as | have.
The educational advantages
here far exceed those back there
where | lived.
! am living near two Hardll
! county boys, viz; Messrs. Stokel.
Hurst and William Kerr. The,
are getting along nicely. The,
have good farms to cultivate ant
comfortable houses to live in.
Some of my Hardin count,
friends expressed themselves a
regretting to see me leave my oil
home, but | am here now, an
am we'll satisfied with my home.
If this misses the waste baske
/ want all my friends who rea
this to write me a letter.
Wishing the dear old Courle
and its many readers success

On juno /, Hon. Thomas Ii.
Paine, of Jackson, assumed the
official duties of commissioner OF
agriculture of Tennessee, and In
view of his past record as an Of
fetal for the State, it goes with
ont saying that he will administer
the affairs of the Office to which
he has been appointed, with hdel'
jty. with ability and with satisfac-
ton to the farmers of the State.
Mr. Paine has heretofore held the

discharged its duties.
The retiring commissioner Hon.
John Il. Essary, has made the
state an excellent and palnstaklhg
official. Under,his administration OF
the Office it has become more than
self.sustaining, many thousands OF
dollars above the expenses OF the
Office having been turned into
the state treasury. Besides th's
through his efforts many desirable
immigrants from the bleak ano
frozen North and Northwest have
been induced to come to Tonnes
see aud make their homes with US
and many reforms have been III
augurated in the Office, which Will
tell for good in the future. In re-
firing from his office Mr. Essary
carries with him the good VIII OF
every farmer of the state, an'
their earnest good wishes for hli
future prosperity wherever hi
may go and whatever may be h''
future field of action.
