"It is situated in the south central part of the State, on the Nashville and Tuscumbia branch of the great L & N R.R system on the Cumberland Plateau, which is 1,200 feet above sea level, which altitude gives us a very healthy climate.  Our soil is very diversified, ranging from very best to very poor lands.  However, by proper selection one can obtain a good home farm of good producing qualities.  Population about 16,000, of which about one-half are from Northern State.  Our water is the very best quality of freestone and supplied mostly from springs.  We have fine stock water in all our creeks.  As for crops we grow everything named in the United States census reports to a greater or less degree, and many things do better than in any other part of the United States.
 We grow corn, wheat, oats, both winter and spring variety; rye, peas, ... more
