A LETTER FROM TENHESSEE,

Descriptive of their Crops and Co only by I Former Cttizen.

FRANKLIN, TENN., Aug. 9, 1895. MR. EDITOR: Dear Sir—Please find enclosed 1 for the paper, as we cannot do without it It brings us the news from our old home. With all mv devotion for my old home and friends, we like the South best. This surely is a great country where we live. As many of the old soldiers remember Franklin lies in a rich valley on the banks of the Harper river. There are many thousand acres around Franklin as rich an roductive as any land on Bluerlvtr. We have the advantage of two crops per year of almost every kind of grain. You can raise two crops of potatoes, or ou can raise one crop of potatoes and follow with a crop of corn with good results, and follow with wheat after either. You can cut your clover hay crop and put it in corn, potatoes or millet, or the same with an an oats crop. So you see we have the advantage over the North.

The wheat crop was very fine here this year, and there is as good a prospect for corn as I ever taw, which will soon be matured. Potato raising is a very profitable buhiness here. Many thousand acres are planted in potatoes in this country and shipped to northern markets. Fruits of every kind are grown in abundance. The peach crop this year was very large. Water melons are shipped by the car load.

We have splendid schools^ and good churches all through this country. The people of this country are hospitable and Intelligent as can be found any where. This is a sufficient guarantee that any man of Industry and Intelligence may do well here. No man need be deterred from coming to Tennessee for fear of illtreatment on account of his religions or political opinions. He can speak his sentiments when and where he chooses. Welcome is extended to the immigrant from whatever locality he may come. There are quite a number of Indiana and Ohio people here in this section, all satisfied, doing,well and making money. 1 consider this a very healthful country. I came here in poor health, and have riot paid one dollar doctor bill since I came. We would be glad to see the editor of the REPUBLICAN or any of our old Hancock county friends at any time.

Yours respectfully, JOHN H. MYERS,
