the most enterprising towns in the State,
we still have in our midst GLASS Of per-
sons who have been indulging in n more
than Rip Van Wrinkle sleep for number
Of years; and who still cling with won.

ly belonged to the antedeluvians. They
turn the cold shoulder upon all improve
ments, and can only sec disaster and ruin,
follow ny in the train of the wide awake
and active portion Of our community.

agitated, these persons have inquired Of
us, in what way will Chester be benefit

successful issue. But sufficient and to
every intelligent person n satisfactory an
swer to their inquiries can be given in
the following brief paragraph. We say,
then, that the town of Chester will be
benefited in every way BY . division of
the county. Whatever benefits Chester
benefits its citizens. There can be NO
possible doubt that the proposed new
county formation will add much to the
business of Chester, will increase its pop
ulation, will enhance the price of its real
estate. will Augment II. wealth. and en-
tirely do away with all the delays, incon-
venisnces, and many annoyances and e1-
psnses that now attend litigation in
this county. Whatever blessing it does
bring, will DO shared by our citizens, who
will not feel otherwise than good over
their prosperity, and we trust will use it
wisely and generously. We may thus
say that they will be benefited in estate,
in mind, in body, and in soul.
