A LETTER.


bbAh OLD nlEN D-Dlu uu tNci
hear of man by the name Scbley?
1t you are not convinced of the fact
'twould be well to be in this city,
as he is certainly here and very
much alive. For some reason he is
causing immense crowds to flock
here. Never have ! witnessed such
demonstrations of joy, and desire
by all to pay tribute TO the man
whom they believe to he the hero of
Santiago No tribunal. or quietus
ct th- Presi tent can change their
minds. 1t IS conceded by all and
con'radicted by none that the
Southern people are "A warm h art
ed courageous people, always con
tending for what they believe is
right, and their greatest pleasure
is to recognize valor. They admire
Schley for his honesty, also the
men behind the gun, who certainly
did tirrir part-but enough of
Schey: lets talk about the Bluff
City--situated in the extreme South
west corner of Tennessee, with Ar
kansas in full view, the two states
connected with an iron bridge, and
Just below and almost in sight, is
the State of Mississippi. This is
the Chicago of the South, and
her close proximity to those states
draw largely their products here.
Then this is the largest hard wood
market in the South, which is caus-
ing immense wagon and buggy fac
tories to be established besides
the city is making rapid strides to
make this grand resort, both
winter and summer. as her accom-
modations are growing rapidly. She
now boasts of having the finest
hotel Gust completely, J, for which
the best architects have displayed
their skill in every modern inn
Provement. The furnishing is
grand and the table would please
the most fastidious. Then every
effort is being made to beautify the
many parks, containing hundreds
OF acres of land, which requires adj
ditional miles of good roads: and
a few miles away is Raleigh Springs
which is quite summer resort,
having many kinds of mineral
water, nice drive, good hotel ac-
commodations and connected by
electric cars with the city 1t is,
and has been, the custom of many
here to visit the seashore-Sarato
ga and other watering places.
Much of that will be done away
with when attractions exist at
home. OF course, some must 90.
so that their names will appear in
the society columns, but many who
once enjoyed going away will stay,
having so many attractions here
Our old friend, j. G. Trimble, has
certainly displayed fine Judgment,
in his purchase of lots. They are
lovely; little far out, but the
rapid growth of the city in that di-
rection will prove a good invest
ment. He may not see it, but those
who follow after him will reap
rich reward-a few more Facts
and Observations" to the young
men who contemplate going out in
the world to make their homes and
fortune.
Those who want to royk come
South. Mechanics are in demand
at good prices. The climate gives
them more days to labor, and farm
ers can also do we'll. Lands are
cheap but advancing. The farmer
here who is up-to-date, with the use
of modern farm implements and the
free use of fertilizers, will prosper.
Another inducement is the lovely
women. The Southern women, are
noted for their beauty and woman
ly graces. Any one who can gain
their heart and hand would do ertra
well; as | haven't a doubt but
what they are as good as they are
beautiful. If, however, you have
any young men who pose on their
form and good looks, or drones,
keep them, they are s0orthleSs any
