 Considerable attention is given to stock raising. At Alexandria, Captain Crook has fine herd of Jerseys. Near Annis- ton is another dairy farm, owned by Cap tain T. c. Bush.
 Sheep can be easily, cheaply and profita- ply raised. The forests supply an abund- ance of mast for hogs.
 Anniston, lying between the Alexandria and Choccolocco valleys, a city of 15,OOO inhabitants, including its suburbs, affords an excellent home market for all farm, dairy and garden products. Every bale of hay, every bushel of corn, wheat and oats that can be raised in the county finds a ready and good market in the limits of the county. There is room for canning factories, creameries chees factories, etc.
 Magnificent water powers are found on the various streams which traverse every part of the county. All kinds of vegeta- bles and melons grow to perfection, and the scuppernong grape, which produces a celebrated wine and jelly. f1ourishes to remarkable degree, single vine yield ing ten to twenty-five bushels of grapes.

right, for with all the busy life connected with the manufacturing and commercial interests of Anniston, the Christian citi- zen of the Model City can point with pride to the fact that the religious element, so necessary to the healthfuI growth of any community has not been forgotten.

 Opportunities for Investment.
 Annlston is certainly one of the most inviting fields for investment in the en- tire South. The exhaustless fields of rich coal, iron, limestone mica, kaoln, brick and fire clay and other minerals, the vir- gin timber forests and fertile agricultu- ral districts in and adjacent to the city, all of which are, comparatively speaking, in the inciplency of their development, makes Anniston an unequalled location for all kinds of manufacturing enter prises. Fortunes are to be made in the development and manufacture of her boundless stores of crude wealth, law ished In limitless supplies in and around this city. The numerous practical tests already made of this fact, in the many factories now in successful operation in Anniston, are a sufficient guarantee of the possibilities of further and more ex- tensive development, and the natural re- suits that will follow. Manufacturing of all kinds of goods made frdm cotton
The age-herald., 1901-09-01

iron and wood in Anniston will pay, and pay largely. This has already been dem onstrated to the satisfaction of the world at large Anniston receives annually 35,000 to 5000 bales of cotton.
 Anniston Commercially.
 Anniston enjoys a commercial promi- hence second to no other city in this por- tion of the state. Owing to location, it is the natural trading point and feeder for a, large area of country. Geographi- cally 1t Is the centehr of a rich agricul- tural section, and within easy reach for hundreds of prosperous farmers. Its trade extends over four counties, and is con- stantly increasing.
 |. The farmers throughout this section have learned that they can get better prices here than elsewhere for cotton and farm products, buying their supplies here at the lowest market prices. The stocks of goods carried by Anniston merchants are of large and varied assortment, and their deserved reputation for fair dealing and liberality has resulted in the secur- ing of very gratifying patronage. Buy ing in large quantities, and generally pay ing spot cash for what they buy, the mer- chants are enabled to get better bargains and therefore to give better bargains to their customers than those in any other
 
 prices. It has more and larger stores than any other city of It's size in the South Every line Is well handled. Up-to- date and attractive establishments attest the energy and enterprise of merchants who desire to pleas and accommodate the public, and the rareness of business fail ures tells of the correctness of these methods, their wisdom and stability. In hardware, clothing, dry goods, shoes, drugs, furniture, jewelry. etc, there are houses that would do credit to any city The wholesale and Jobbing trade is mak- ing rapid strides. Its growth has been steady and sure. Year by year more sales men have been put in the field. The vol ume of business done this year will reach into the millions. The rapid growth and expansion of trade presents an inspiring spectacle, and warrants the conclusion that at no distant day Anniston will rank among the first cities of the South in com- mercial as well as industrial importance.
 Calhoun County, Alabama
 Calhoun county, of which Anniston As the county seat, has long been regarded as one of the best agricultural counties in the state In addition to this however, it Is now regarded one of the leading counties in the abundance of its mineral resources The progress which has been made in Calhoun within the last few years has been amazing, and serves to show what pluck and energy can achieve when coupled with the requisite means of pro gress. The vast mineral stores which have been discovered in the hills and
The age-herald., 1901-09-01

 mountains of Calhoun are serving greatly to enrich the county, and by their devel- opment to benefit mankind. Looking al 1t more in detail, we find that Calhoun has an area of GAO square miles Titled lands, S3, S57 acres; area planted in cotton, 26. 435 acres; In corn, 33,714 acres; In oats. s.s52 acres; In wheat, 10,745 acres; In rye, 2S7 acres; in tobacco, % acres; in sweet potatoes, 2S3 acres.
 Cotton production, 1900 bales.
 The surface of Calhoun is hilly and un- even, and presents the usual charaeteris- tices of a mineral region. But the great variety of soils indicate the vast diversity of productions, for the county seems capa- ble of producing every plant that grows in the Temperate zone.
 As will be seen from the above statis- ties, vast quantities of land are titled in the county, and the capacity of it's soil may be judged from the variety of its productions. In the valleys and along the numerous water courses are found the best lands in Calhoun; but. while they are capable of a greater yield per acre than the higher lands, they are more diff ficult of cultivation. The valley lands are usually chosen for cotton, while the up lands are generally devoted to the rais-
  and sweet potatoes, which are the staple productions of the county Many minor crops, such as peas and peanuts, are also annually produced.
 The finest lands of Calhoun are found in the Alexandria and Choccolocco val leys, which are covered with splendid farms, and which support thrifty and progressive population
 The forests of Calhoun support pine rAI oIr white, post, turkey and Spanish oaks, hickory, walnut, beech, poplar, elm, ash, and gum. This fact, coupled with that of a vast supply of water in every part of the county, greatly enhances 1t as a place of residence. Throw different portions of Calhoun flow the Coosa river and Chat chee, Cane and Choocolocco creeks.
 The mountain and hill sections abound in the finest springs. some of which have water of almost icy coolness. Not least among the attractive features of Calhoun county Is it's fruit producing capacity. Superb orchard fruits are raised in every part of the county. Apples, peaches and pears ripen quite readily, and, as they are seldom interferred with by frosts, they become source of revenue to fruit grow CTS. Cherries, grapes and plums flourish also with the greatest readiness.
 The ore fields, coal and limestone depos- its of Calhoun county constitute its chief glory. From present indications these resources are practically exhaustless. Both brown and red hematite iron ore prevail in every portion of the county. Manganese, marble, kaolin, sandstone, barite, copper, lead, Autograph stone and

 Cotton Is King.
 Cotton Is king in Anniston, as else where in the South, and the city stands today we'll up among the inland cotton receiving points. The cotton comes here from a section of country radiating 10( miles around the city. Here Is located one of the largest and most complete com presses in the South and last season up- wards of sixty-five thousand bales were shipped in here by rail from all portions of Northeast Alabama. The several fac tories here using cotton consume upwards of 16.000 bales and the remainder is ship ped North to home manufacturers and to foreign countries. Broad acres of fer tile lands stretch out from the Model City in all directions producing the fieecy staple in unlimited quantities. The progressive farmers now make ono acre of cotton land produce by improved farm ing methods, what 1t required two acres formerly to bring forth. Anniston Is the logical market for a very large scope oi country extending from the Georgia State line to the city limits of Birming- ham, and including the counties of Cal houn, Cleburne, Clay.
