Railroads.

Are railroads beneficial to, a. people !?
Eighteen years ago, when the Germans pur-
chased lands in this county, at an average of
one dollar and twenty FIVE cents per acre, our
people thought them cheated. The lands
about Walhala were then considered dear at
fifty cents per acre. We now sec them sold
in lots on Main Street from ono hundred to
seven hundred dollars per acre, unimprovcd; ];
and for barren blackjack ridge, we have a
striving market town. The best farm in the
county ratedat from 81 500 to 81 ,OOO, and now
readily bring from $4,000 to 100000 Rail
roads create market, which enhances the
she value Of farm products and, hence, of
real estate. Let US secure the Airline Road,
and population and capital will flow into the
county, our natural resources be developed
and general prosperity established,
