Transcribed by Donna Walton
Is situated in
the southwestern part of the State, bordering on the
Arkansas line-about three-fourths of the county
timber land-ash, hickory,
walnut and pine-the
tillable land about equally divided between bottom
and up-land.
Corn, wheat, oats, Hungarian grass,
hemp, tobacco, sugar-cane, timothy, cotton, and all
kinds of fruit yield good returns.
Native grapes
grow in abundance. This county is well adapted to
stock growing or raising fruit of all kinds.
Excellent water power on the James Fork of White
River, Crane creek and Flat creek.
Grist mills, saw
mills and carding machines needed. Some signs of
lead ore, but no mines open yet.
Climate
healthy-land cheap. Good inducements for farmers and mechanics.
THIS COUNTY IS UP FOR
ADOPTION!!!
