Many of the farms are not cultivated, but are-as stated by a local author- ity-"held more for their sentimental than their agricultural value." Such land can be bought for about $100 per acre.

Dividing Creek is situated near the stream which bears the same name; the region is free from malaria, and healthful in other respects.

Manufacturing industry of almost any kind would be welcomed, but a paper mill, rope mill, or canning factory would be preferred, as raw material for each and all of these lines of trade can be found here. A fine class of in- telligent labor, either men or women, can be found here in numbers suffi- cient to meet the requirements of several fair sized industries. Land for fac- tory building purposes will be given free of cost. Water power may be developed from the creek. A factory settling here would be accorded every exemption and favor in the power of the authorities and people to bestow. About 100 men and 50 women would accept employment the year round.
