A FINE CHANCE FOR GIRLS"

n TINE NhaAIE FUN nlAlsS.
A week or two ago We copied a para
graph, which has been going the ral.,,.s,
stating that in the town oil Alton, Illinois,
with population Of 3,0n0, there were b..
twelve unmarried females, eleven Of HON
were engaged, and the twelfth is a widow
who has lad lhgee husbands.
Now for the other side Of The story.
We received a few days ago Letter Eom
i subscriber, at this idcni.c al place, AI.on,
in the State Of Illinois. And what dcss
he say! Lear him:
Presuming, friend Hale, that some par
ton OF the feadtrs Of your ID VALUABLE shr,t
in the good old" North STATE" would l.ke
to hear ilUm the d" Far West" say to them
thai the 81 Sucker State" has been unusu.
ally sickly during the presea, season. LUZ
notw outstanding the extraordinary nGInbvr
of cases Of bilious and congesiiNe tr,tfs,
there have been comparatively few teaii.s.
In the county in which ! live, tMacoupial
there are, at this iime, tWo-ihinis of lie
citizens NLo have the chiIl, and fever; aal
ucgree oi sickness. Could some Of those
disconnected youngsters Of cid Nerd, Ca
roiina, whn are anxious to sinigrtlc 10 The
West, be in illipois ii dis time, and see
the pale. faced, bloated-check ed, sucker
girls, AM compare their presen. appear
ance with the bright-eyed, rasy-chetk ed
lasses Of the coed old North Safe, their
migrating fever would cool of at once, aad
they would be willing and conirnled to re-
main at home and improve that glorious
old State, NY advice to them, is 10 re-
main.a, home, for though ol!ers' lands may
be more fertile Than thens, there is no
place equal 10 North Carolina for both as.

The girl, willow, or Wifi. must lie sadly
in want of husband, or exceedingly j.
sirous to get lid Of one. who will 20 TO
such place. Better stay in the "Old
North"
There is whele volume Of sound sense
in those few lines of our CORES pendent, for
what lie says is the result Of tie obse,va-
ton aud experience of South and West.
In addition 10 what he has stated, it is well
known that nearly all the States in the
Union are deeply in debt, and that to pay
merely the Interest on The debt it Is neces-
sary 10 impose taxes to an extent never
dreamed Of in North Carolina. What is
still worse, number Of them make no eff
fort TO pay even the interest, but repudiate
practically, il not avowedly.. Michigan,
we see, has To pay S2o1, 900 OF interes.
next year: and her treasury is empty. She
must either lay an enormous tax, or sell
her rail reads. or repulia:e. The int.
rest Of the debt Of Pennsylvania is about
s 200. 500, and she, too, after few years
OF practical reputation, is selling III her
public works 10 pay the d,bt. And SO The
list nigh, te eA,sn,!cd To nearly all the
States. And v hat are the taxes in North
Carolina! TIE State tax is but 6 cents
on the Si6S worth Of land; ahd lis aggre-
gate amoant is about ole iGisd Of What
the lille Sale Of Michigan requires 10 pay
interest alone.
Let our citizens ponder on these things
before they concluae 10 leave the Old
North for any sash land OF premise.
