Inducements to Immigrants
The inducements Hamilton County
offers to immigrants are many. Besides
good and cheap lands, water power, etc. the county has many advantages in other
ways.
The soil is of such a varied
character as to furnish employment and profit for those wishing to engage in
any branch of agricultural pursuits.
There are some good roads, and
others are being built, leading to different portions of the surrounding
country.
Numerous streams water the
county, and fine springs and wells are in abundance.
The dairy business is one that
would prosper and pay well here. Stock
has only to be fed a small portion of the year.
Chattanooga
consumes a great deal of milk, and no doubt a cheese factory would pay if there
were enough dairies.
The variety of soil is such that
market gardeners would find a handsome remuneration for their efforts in this
direction. Every kind of vegetable can
be grown early, and markets north of us supplied with vegetables at very good
rates.
Chattanooga,
Tennessee; Hamilton
County, and Lookout Mountain
– Louis L. Parham - 1876
