the county takes what it viii we 30 with il:
There are those who are ready to advocate

There are others who want to obtain
the investment in Mississippi lovee bonds
from Hickman to TIptonyille.
For our own part, we reserve spccula-
ton, until we see some reality about the
thing, inclining to the opinion that We
are in no great danger OF being flooded
with such loans, although it is probable
the company may be IN earnest IN the
meantime the people can think Of it, and
call the county candidates out on it, if
they wish to amuse themselves during
the canvass.

We have read with considerable
interest in the Shepherdstown
Register, the proceedings of a meet
ing held on the Dist of February,
to consider the expediency of
forming q joint stock company for
the manufacture of wooden goods.
1t is pleasant to note they APP
pointed q committee to solicit SUBJ
scriptions, and arranged for the
payment of stock, in installments
of ten per cent. per month. 1t is a
pleasure to see signs of improve
ment in any place, and the pleasure
is doubled when we see them
adopting the very same measures
we have SO long urged upon our
people to adopt. With a few
manufactures, which can be es-
tablished by home effort and run
with home talent, Martinsburg
can be made one of the most thriv-
ing towns in the State. Will
you not have public meeting and
organize manufacturing establish
ments. We are confident in addi-
ton to individual capital, all our
banks will aid such enterprises
by giving them the preference in
discounts.
