One adventurous spirit however, bravely

e some of our Kenosha grocers with their
delivery wagons and timely providence
Yet more merchants are less needed than
aschange of system Those who are here
are intelligent, active, good business men
t but on these small matters of household
convenience have fallen into the rut of
the good old way / alude to it as
showing the petty annoyances, and real
! needs of the best of southern country
: villages People of wealth supplying
themselves at ease from their own planta-
tions constitute communities, in which
: will be often missed the little comforts
secured by the cooperative plan we
have insensibly adopted in our northern
towns All this will come with the new
\ era What is wanted here Is more
manufactures. There is room and mar

! hub and spoke factories, wagon shops,
broom factories, tanneries, shoe shops
! on large scale. The material for all is
here or easily accessible, andsthe market
is the rich cotton country just below.
With climate, soil productions, markets,
labor, it can only be question of time
as to their establishment. Nor does it |
seem to me that the success of manu-
| features in the south is dependent on
northern or even foreign emigration.
Whether the war has effected a change, or |
whether this population of upper Georgia |
differ from most of the southern people, |
or whether we have mistaken in some
characteristic of the southerner, certain it I
is, | meet with men In great numbers |
who seem to have the enterprise intel |
ligence and will for all this, had they
the capital, and with a few more crops |
of cotton the capital will be found |
There seems to me a kind Of western
business life and pluck among these men
had scarce thought to find in the South.
The man of Chicago differs from the. Rip
Van Wrinkles of our eastern villages no
more than the Upper Georgian from the
men on the Eastern shore. The South
has its soest too, and this discrimination
must be made in an intelligent estimate
of the southern capacity for prosperous
future.
There are some phases of our village
life which are yet essential to q full
understanding of its character. Flvet
churches represent the strong religious
element of its citizens, Much attention .
is paid to Education, and there appears a
prevalent conviction that this place is
destined from its situation, quiet character,
and heathfulness to the successful support
of educational institutions. There is a
Female College in quite prosperous
condition, several private schools and
arrangements are making for a Male :
Academy of high order to supply the
pla 5 of q militrry Academy which was
destroyed here during the war Besides
these there are free school supported !
by private contributions for the children 9
of poor whites and Negro school which S
has been conducted under Northern
auspices by some Northern ladies. Per-
haps no happier evidence can be given |
of the intelligence of the community
than the fact that they have established t
this last spring and thus far successfully {
an Agricultural and Horti 7
cultural Society united with monthly /
exhibitions of grains, fruits, flowers and e
domestic manufactures. Their social q
life is preserved during the season of the t
resort of strangers by frequent reunions a
and open air concerts in the little park. e
The other evening this was illuminated e
