REASONS WHY WE ARE POOR.

First. because we have too many
consumers and too few producers too
many who prefer to loaf and piddle, or
TO pick out the soft place, and too few
who are willing to furnish the bone
and sinew on the farm, in the mine. in
the factory, and in other active occu-
patiOns.
I'd. We allow our money to go
abroad to build up other sections, ra-
ther than husband our resources and
develop the wealth and industries of
our own section. For instance, look
at the millions that have gone west
during the last ten years to pay for corn
and bacon, a large proportion of which
might have been produced at home.
Look at the additional millions that
have gone to the various sections for
agricultural machineryand implements
and seeds, etc, all of which might
have been produced in the South. Con
template the still larger sums which
have found their way to foreign mar
kets, to pay for extravagant dressing
and useless ornamentation, which
might have been saved to our section
by proper simplicity and economy.
Sd. Too many people, unwilling to
accept the situation" live beyond
their means to keep up appearances"
dress too much, eat too much, squan-
der too much in dissipation and pleas
ure, and then complain of hard times
and murmur against providence. Such
persons not only impeverish them
selves, but run in debt TO others with
out the ability or intention to pay and
thus contribute TO the general poverty
of the community.
These are few of the causes which
make and keep the masses of this Sec
ton poor. 1t is high time We were
making an attempt to reform; but if
we refuse to profit by experience, the
outside world will feel but little sym
patty for US further than to pocket our
dollars as fast as We earn them.

LETTER FROM ERIN.
ERIN. Feb. "a 1872.


DEAR CHRONICLE: Owing to. the
disaster at the GAINESVILLE railroad
bridge on the night of the 18th inst,
our thriving town was cut off from d.
rect railroad communication with your
city. We have felt this accident seri-
ously, as all railroad business has been
suspended at this place, and of course
will be until the bridgeis rebuilt. The
company are running train from
Paris to the south side of the Cum
berland river and return daily, which
is all that remains at present to en-
liven us, and this is considered as
nothing when compared to the hustle
and business of the arrival and de-
parture of dozen or more trains day
and night, for the past six months, the
changing of train crews and the beat
ing of the gong at the Grand Central,
at meal hours, where everything good
was served to the guests on their arri-
val. The railroad company were about
to resume work on the buildings re-
quired by them at this place, when I'M
expectedly the news came over the
wires of the above disaster, and an or
der for all the hands at work here to
get ready and proceed to GAINESVILLE,
which was done in double quick time,
and with that all business stopped for
the present, and leaves our town and
people to fully realize the need of a
frst-class railroad. Those croakei.s
whose ideas are averse to railroads,
and who are now living on the line of
this road from GAINESVILLE to Paris,
will be impressed with the great change
that has taken place, and forever cease
opposing all such enterprises. Our
business houses will be greatly incon-
venienced in getting their spring sup
ply of goods, being obliged to resort to
river transportation to Cumberland
City or Danville and by river to this
place. Several persons intend build
ing here this summer, and would COM
menee as soon as the weather would be
favorable, were it not for the stoppage
of the railroad. After business is re-
sun.ed, lively times are expected. Not
withstanding the unfavorable season
for working in rivers, we know the
bridge will be pushed with vigor to-
wards completion under the manage
ment of the able and energetic super
intendent, Robert Meek, whose indom-
liable energy is so well known. We
wish him every success, and hope the
speedy completion of this work will
add one more laurel to his railroad
fame. Yours, &c,
OBSERVER.
