Mn. ANDREW LATpIER and Robert
Wheeler, the latter gentleman from the
upper end Of the county, will start to.
morrow for Dallas, Texas. Thus are
our young men leaving Brooke county,
to seek what they cannot obtain here-a
living IEel,6urg NsEI Of Friday.
|. it not putting the case little strong
soay that these two young men cannot
obtain living in the good county OF
Brooke, and are therefore forced to emi.
grate2 We could tell these two young
nens little story OF Brooke county man
who twenty years ago was cropping land
on the shares in the vicinity oI
Bethany, and who is now the owner of al
excellent farm, well stocked, and capi.
,li't with plenty Of money in bank.
We published once Il poem Nboul
Jones, OF the county Of Jones," who
thought the land was 40 poor and tinet
so hard in Georgia that he had better
emigrate to Texas, and 20 sold out to I
neighbor and left. But he found that tn,
land in Texas had to be titled the saml
H in Georgia; that the summers ant
winters had the Same average Of draw
backs; that the primeval curse reste,
upon every part Of the footstool. an,
thar, alter all, it was only in the sweat o
his brow that man could proftably carr
money. He therefore retraced his step
to Georgia, and aiterreturning found tha
his old neighbor had got things in apple
pe order; that the poor land had all a
once become productive, and tha
peace and plenty seemed to smile
all around the old homestead
He was at frat puzzled to understand
how such change could be wrought by
mere change Of ownership, but finally
the great and important truth dawred
on his mind that "there was more in the
man than in the land"
Now if these two young men will fol
low the suggestion We have thrown out
tor their benefit, and go to TIE house OF .
man named William Cassner, midway
between West Liberty and Bethany, hi
will tell them how not only to make {
living in Brooke county but, mere thar
that, TO earn nice little fortune.
