Pittsylvania county is on the east and Patrick and Henry on the south. The Franklin Division of the Southern Rail- way and the Norfolk and Western Railway afford good facilities for the transportation of srain and other produce as well as the ores and metals with which this section abounds to the markets of Virginia and other States This is one of the largest tobacco-growing counties. Large crops of corn, and some wheat. oats, hay and buckwheat are also raised. A great deal of attention is paid to fine stock for market and horses, milch cows and other cattle are shipped in large quindi- ties. The dairy products par well, while those of the orchard are considerable. The min- erals are iron ,lead and soapstone. and the timbers pine, oak, hickory, walnut and chest- nut.
