to the Board Of Trustees appointed by our
County Court some months since, and we
learn they are exerting themselves to have
a competent corps Of teachers by the !st of
September. As germane to this subject.
why don't they advertise for teachers?
That's the quickest and surest way to get
them; and all will admit 1t is matter of
the gravest Importance that we have q
good Male School in this place, ready to
open on the LIST Monday In September.
IMMIGRATION.
We still hear of an occasional Immigrant
settling in our county, In spite Of the infa-
nous calumnies that have been heaped up
on us by some thieving villain who has
come amongst us, and for some act OF rus
cality received at the hands Of some out
ragged native a meritcd chastisement.
Surely the people of the North have been
blindfolded long enough. They nave
heard enough OF these false reports, and Of
their refutation, to begin to doubt the
common honesty and sincerity OF the men
who start them. There are living In u
county a great many Northern men, (De-
sides those whose names arc signed 10 q

reply to an article copied from a Cleveland,
Ohio, paper, purporting to have originated
from one Oswald, late of our county, who
can testify to the general peacefulness OF
this county, and to the total absence OF
anything akin to Kuklux demonstra-
tions. 1t is well known to all classes Of
citizens that there has not been seen In
Winchester or vicinity a full-grown Ku-
klux since the year 1868; and no one,
white or black, has been molested in the
free exercise Of all the rights pertaining
to al American citizen.
1t we'll behooves our citizens to ponder
the present necessity Of using all and eve
ry agency within our reach to induce men
of capital, and laboring men, to come and
settle here. 1t must be apparent to every
thinking mind that we have not the means
to develop the riches which lie embowelled
In our mother earth
We see an indisposition on the part Of
young men to 20 to farm labor; and not
only so, but a strange antipathy to the
adoption of that pursuit or vocation for a
living. This is not right. and the press OF
the South should speak In unmistaken Ian.
guagc to the growing youth Of the South
on this absorbing subject. The farmer Is
the most independent OF all other trades
professions or callings; in fact, farming Is
the only vocation that a%pproximates indie
pendence. and labor is at all times, and in
all countries, more honorable than idle
ness.
AS before observed, we must have labor.
ers to dig the wealth out Of the soil-to
manufacture our excellent timber and
marble into implements and articles Of
usefulness. Then we must give the new
conner a cordial welcome. Let them feel
by our conduct that they are welcome;
and let them feel by our every act that
they are as safe here, both in person and
property, us they are in any Northern
State.
We have good and cheap lands-ane
water-power and magnificent forests OF
timber-all awaiting the magic touch Of
labor and capital to make this one of the
most happy and prosperous Gas it Is the
most picturesque and beautifully county
in the United States.
1t is to the interest of every inhabitant
OF this county to encourage the introduce
ton Of the honest, Woodworking aohite men
Of the North to settle among us perma-
nently, and help us to overcome the obsta-
cles which Natures God has placed in the
road to temporal prosperity, and to hap
piness.
