 Montgomery County, 
 Tennessee.

 If you wish a good home in a moral, intelli- 
 gent and thrifty community, come to Montgomery ^ 
 county, Tenuessee. A 
 
 The county lies in the upper region of Middle A 
 
 Tennessee, its northern most boundary being the s 
 
 Kentucky line. It is a delightful section in which y 
 
 A to dwell. The extremes of heat and cold are A 
 
 S alike unknown. It is proverbially healthy. The ^ 
 
 V rain fall is abundant nearly every year; no insect ^ 
 
 A pests destroy the crops; no disastrous tornado has A 
 
 S ever visited the region. The people are hospita- ^

 ble, and the stranger within their gates is soon 
 made to feel as one of them. 
 
 The population of the county in 1900 was 
 36,017. The assessed value of all taxable prop- 
 erty in 1904 is $7,468,910.00. 
 
 The land for the most part is rolling, and 
 well watered, and stock farms pay well. The 
 principal agricultural products are corn, wheat, 
 tobacco, hay, vegetables of every variety, and 
 fruits and berries in abundance. There is still 
 much valuable timber in the county. The prin- 
 cipal varieties are Poplar, White Oak, Red Oak, 
 Maple, Hickory, Cedar, Walnut, Dog Wood, etc. 
 South of the Cumberland River the land is rich 
 in iron ore of a valuable quality. 
 
 Transportation facilities are excellent. The 
 Cumberland River runs diagonally through the 
 county from southeast to northwest. The Louis-

s ville & Nashville Railroad runs from northeast g 
 y to southwest, a distance of twenty-five miles. \J 
 A The Princeton Railroad runs northward to the 
 Kentucky line; the Mineral Railroad southward 
 to and beyond the county line; and the Ten- 
 nessee Central Railroad, recently constructed, has 
 twenty-five miles of track in the county. 
 
 Farmers and others are waking up to the 
 importance of good highways over which their 
 products may be transported to market, and more 
 than fifty thousand dollars has been spent this 
 year in improving roads. 
 
 The Public School system of the county can 
 not be excelled in any community, North or 
 South. School houses are to be found in every 
 section, and the schools are in session eight 
 months in the year. The blacks are educated 
 from the general school fund, though colored

 children are taught in different buildings under 
 colored teachers. 
 
 To all industrious people seeking homes a 
 hearty invitation is extended to visit Montgomery 
 county, Tennessee. All sectional bitterness here 
 has long since been buried. The new comer if he 
 be moral and industrious will find a home here 
 where his life can be spent pleasantly, and where 
 his sons and daughters will grow up to be useful 
 men and women.
