c.sp,y will soon be put down in our town at

ro~th and prosperity. {
And We are encouraged in the hope that the
Whole capital and energy Of our people will be
,.rnsd into the proper channels, from the fact
ia. apsculations Of oil kinds are dead, and We r
hous will remain %. Men are looking round

No town in the State has, at this time, 60
u,py advantages as Burlington. She is not IN
dab, either Is o cooperation or Is q community
more than che Is able TO pay. She has better
Eastern connections BY Rail, and has penetrated
farther into The interior BY her Western Road,
through . better country, by good many miles,
shsn any Of her rivals. BY her liberal policy >.
good roads have been constructed on both Res
Of tho River aud very large retail trade built :,
up. Speculation never put up the prices of a.
Rssl Estate to fabulous figures in our town.
We never we're dsuded with the idea that Bur-
llSoa Was to be q New York, or even St.
Louis or Chicago and hence we are not now
ngged in adapting ourselves to a humbled
nGcrippsd condition with nothing but our debts
snd taxes to remind US of former pretensions. 81
We want sn,erprising and skilful manufac- ut
farsn not gamblers it lots-we want men
skilled making implements Of husbandry, fur. ra
nsrrt, papsr-workers in wood, iron and leather
we "au' manufacturers Of wool and cotton,
net biood-hounds with lot and land schemes
With Hhish to fleece every new corner. Bust
ssss nen, mechanics and laborers will come as
In a they are needed.
