PULASKI COUNTY.
Although one Of the mountain counties u
Kentucky, Il Il one among the best In the
State, and while there are large bodies Of Wild
lands within our territory, with their untold
wealth and vas, mineral resources which lie
hidden In the bosom Of mother earth unde-
veloped to the eye Of speculation and enter
prise, We can boast Of some Of the best and
most fertile lands in the State. There are
many farms in cultivation, and other lands
which the woodsman's axe has never trcspa-scd
upon, lying East, West, South and North
West Of Somerset, The county scat, that are
valuable, productive and we'll adapted 10 the
growth of corn, wheat and other small grainss
presenting decided advantage and a rare OPP
portuniiy to those who desire good and cheap
homes. We can recommend our lands, par
ticularIy those which lie upon the numerous
water courses, for grass Of all kinds, and well
suited To that class Of individuals who delight
In raising stock.
Our farmers have more lands than they
need and more than they can manage profit
ably, and many Of them are willing and anx-
ious to sell portions Of their farms at low fig
ures. We are all aware that our county feels
the necessity Of greater number Of that class
which We term enterprising farmers; and We
would advise this class to come TO our county.
Here they can find ready market for all their
productions at higher prices than in most any
other locality in the State.
ouR COAL MINES,
Located upon the waters Of Cumberland river,
which are now being worked more extensively
than at any time since the close Of the war,
requiring a great number Of hands mining
coal, building and bailing boats, and shipping
the coal to market, and very few Of whom arc
farmers, but depend upon their labor at the
mines and boa,-yarls n support and maintain
themselves and families; hence, our farmers
finds a ready sale for large quantities Of meat
and grain TO supply this, the most important,
together with many other demands.
II is an old but true saying, and a truth
which has been fully demonstrated, that where
one man removes from Puiaski and remains
away, three will return to their native land
where they can make Subsistence for their
families and breath that pure, fresh, invigora-
ting atmosphere, and drink that cool refresh
ing water which makes our county one Of the
most healthy and pleasant localities known to
man.
II is true lin the general acceptation Of the
term) our citizens, or many Of them, are poor
as TO this worlds goods, but they possess noble
hearts, with that liberal spirit which makes
the stranger, the trader and traveller who have
30 often visited the rude log cabin, meeting
with that agreeable surprise, "plenty to eat
and a clean, comfortable bed" praise them for
their kindness and humble Inequalities. And
we now feel assured that our citizens have be-
come awakened TO that imperitive duty,
HsrERPRIsE,
And are working with that real, ardor, and
determination to succeed, that cannot be out
rivalled in any country.
NEW CHURCHES AND SCHOOL HOUSES
Are being built and put in repair all over the
county, while many Of our young gentlemen
and ladies, Of whom we are ever proud. are
making themselves polished scholars, render
ing them competent and capable Of imparting
instruction.

ious than gold.
