MARION, sMYTH co. VA, July 90.
There is scarcely county in Virginia
more prosperous than smyth. Everything
combines to make It so. Industries are,
remarkably diversified. . Farming, cattle
raising. numbering, q u amanufacturing--al
these interests claim The attention OF the
people. and it appears to me all are
combining to make them rich.

grain as. in growing cattle A farmer
who owns hundreds OF acres OF land In

come to the conclusion after keeping care
full account, that It was more profitable
to raise gran> than live stock--thls In
spite Of tho fact that the blue grass OF
Southwest Virginia and Kentucky Is un-E
surpassed for grazing purposes.
The whole Of Slnyth county lies In three
valleys. Through each run rivers known
as the North Fork, Middle Fork and
South Fork. These rivers rise in the
ridge running north and south between
smyth county and Wytho, which bounds
the former on tho east. The Water
courses OF Wythe empty into New River,
which flows northward uniting with tho
Gauley, III West Virginia, to form the
Kanawha. The waters Of smyth are
carried seaward by n much more direct
route, these three forks flowing westward
until they unite and form tho IIolston,
near Knoxville. Tenn, later becoming the
Tennessee, which cmpities into the Ohio
hundreds OF miles below the point where
the waters OF New River become the
Kanawlln and flow into the Ohio at Point
Pleasant, q. sE

The valleys of these three forks en-
brace what the smyth people claim to be
the. best land In Virginia, The claim Is
a little too great. but the soil Is superb.
Tho grass land makes 1900 pound steers,
Thirty bushels Of wheat to tho acre have
been raised, and tho product OF corn Is
