When Methodists over the confer

several took their pens in hand to tell
President Harmon what they thought
of fraternities.
Their opinion was so bad that be-

very little till the corn had begun to
tassel. Then 1t began raining and the
corn turned black. and it averaged
about two ears to the stalk; the yield
was 40 bushels per acre. This land
had been producing about Is bushels
per acre. Our county deponstrator

FREE SALE" !"

Did you ever hear of such thing as
a,.'Free Sale?'' 1t is unusual to say
the least and requires some explaining.
Reed & Burnett have decided to put
ON Free Sale" at their Grab Orch
ard store September 2. 1t IS this way:
In all stores there IS from time to time
an accumulation of articles that are
good but tor some reason are very slow
sale.
Instead of following the old custom
of putting these articles on Bargain
Counter or selling at auction. for what
they will bring. Reed & Burnett have
decided to wrap up these goods in bun
dies and pitch them into the crowd
that congregates at the Free Sale and
the person who catches the bundle will
become the owner of what ever is in
the bundle.
In other words they will sell these
odds and ends in the way the little boy
sold his cat. A certain boy had more
cats than he wanted. One day he came
running to his father and said: 20,
Papa, have sold one of my cats. :"
The father replied: "Well. son, that
is good, what did you get for it?'' The
boy replied, 80. nothing" That is
the way Reed Il Burnett will conduct
their Free Sale. Sell the things for
nothing.

Highway Dorton, Crab Orchard
Pomona, P. Hill Active.

At the regular meeting, Monday
night, of the Cumberland County BusI-
ness Association much interest was
manifest IN the question of the upkeer
of our roads after being built. A COM
mittee has been appointed, consisting
of Chas. Comstock, DR.. v. L. Lewis
and James Smith. to draft such a
measure as in their judgement should
be enacted into law at the coming
sitting of the legislature and report
same to the next regular meeting of
the Association.
1t was also decided to take such steps
as necessary to repair the Memphls-to-
Bristol highway between Crossville
and Crab Orchard. The plan is to have
working by the citizens of Crossville,
Dorton and Grab Orchard and all per-
sons along OF near the road who will be
willing to leno free aid. The plan Is to
have autos to distribute the workers
along the line at the various points
where work is needed. lunch being
taken sufficient to feed all who may
wish to assist IN the work. Tools will
also be provided and the feeling is that
the road can be put in good shape IN
one day. 1t Is expected that Crossuille

soy beans on an acre nearly seven tons
forage on an acre; four tons clover on
an acre.
ABUNDANT RAINFALL.
The rainfall is well distributed
throughout the year and Amounts to
so 10 GU inches. Because of this condi-
tion the wild range here is tar superior
to the range of the west, so tar as the
ranging period is concerned. The
range is so abundant that there is feed
TOR ten head of stock where there is
one to eat 1t and such thing as over
stocking the range is unknown here.
GOOD HOG RANGE.
Owing to this being timbered sec
ton, there is an abundant crop of
acorns almost every year and hundreds
of hogs tatten for the market with lit
tie or no cash outlay to the owners.
More than $75, 900 was realized from
fat hogs 10 this county the past year,
nd they did not cost the owners one
dollar head. At this time there are
more hogs in the woods than ever be-
fore ard an abundant crop OF acorns is
now assured tor this year.
SHEEP COST LITTLE.
Sheep live in the woods the year
around and require no feed except in
the most severe weather. The sheep
market has been so good for the past
few years that our farmers are rapidly
increasing their flocks, and sheep rails
ing is one of the leading industries of
the county.
CATTLE INDUSTRY.
Raising cattle Is the leading industry
of this section. because of the abun-
dance of tree range and the ease with
which forage and silage can be pro-
duced for winter feeding.
DIVERSIFIED CROPS.
Nowhere IN the United States can
this section be exceeded in diversity
and quality of crops Vegetables of
all kinds grow in profuslon and are of
the highest quality. The potatoes pro-
duced here are equal to the best grown
anywhe e. Their excellence has be-
come so universally known throughout
the state that our merchants are ship
ping IN car lots and this year promises
to see larger shipments than ever be-
tore. Fruits of all kinds grow well
here, but no ore has attempted to pro-
duce them on an extensive scale under
modern methods.
LARGE AREA, SPARSE POUPLA-
TION.
Cumberland county has an area of
approximately 800 square miles or over
Sc, 900 acres, with population of close
TO 5000 people. In spite OF this large
acreage and the very low price of land
$40 an acre and up-not more than
one acre in thirty is in actual cultiva-
tion. With so small population it is

SHEEP AND HOGS FATTEN ON ABUNDANT MAST.
Splendid Crops Grown on Land That Sells for
$40 an Acre and Up. 100000 Being
Expended for Graded Roads.
Two Great Highways.

Never bt fore has such universal
prosperity Prevailed with the people
of Cumberla, / county as at this time.
There are St veral reasons for this IA
vorable conc: tion.
Lumber and cross ties are bringing
good prices, sheep are bringing a good

promise to b,i,.s good prices and as
there IS a good prospect tor an acorn
crop hogs are sure TO fatten well and
60 on the market IN good shape this
fall and winter. Coupled with this the
crop outlook IS unusually good and our
farmers are more encouraged than ever
before and are doing more and better
farming than ever before. 1t is no ex-
aggeratlon to say that our farmers
have made more real progress along
the lines of scientific farming III the
past five years than for any ten years
previously. They are aware OF this
and are making greater effort to en-
large and improve their farms than
ever before.
GREAT ADVANTAGES.
TO us, who have lived here for per-
lod of years there is one problem that
is more perplexipg and unexplainable
than all others.
Why is it, that IN this section, with
its splendid climate, where there are
thousands of acres of free range for
1--we stock, wnere good land can be
bought for $40 an acre and up, where
many hundred head of hogs fattep IN
the woods each year at cost OF Tess
than a dollar a head to the owners,
where sheep live the year around With
little attention and almost no feec,
where mosquitoes are almost unknown,
the temperature in the summer rarely
ever reaches ninety and IN the winter
seldom goes to zero and where the lay
of the land Is so favorable that all that
is necessary. to produce prairie farms,
80 tar as surface conditions go-is to
remove the stumps, that we have a
population of only 5000 people and not
over one acre in thirty under cultiva-
tlon.
No one here pretends that this soil is
equal to the black prairie lands OF the
west in point OF fertility, but it is su
perior TO it in some respects. With
good farming methods, good crops can
be grown from the start and the land
constantly increased in fertility.
BIG CROPS.
AS an indication of what can be done
we call attentiorNto the following crops
that have been grown here under ia
vorable conditions: On the farm of j.
S. Cline, Grab Orchard. for two success
sive years the second prize was won by
his sons in the East Tennessee Corn
Club on upland. The first year the
boy produced SO bushels; the second
year he grew 1872 bushels and last year
Mr.. Cline grew $50 bushels on one acre.
Many farmers over the county are
producing ~ to 81. bushels OF corn each
year. Potatoes have been grown at
