EDITOR ARGUS:-Thc pioneers Of Chin
acum valley are men and women of edn-
cation and refinement. and it is very desir-
able that many more should he added to
their nuUIberS; for as home-Scckng seems
to he the desire of the masses, we cannot
do better than call their attention to the
hundreds OF broad acres now lying dor
mant beneath the hand OF Nature, await
ing the AK Of industry. so that the forest
may be made to "blossom as the rose"
Jungle to fade" and broad fields to take
the place of the matted bramblc thicket.
We require population, for with it and
an increase in our cultivated soil new
avenues of industry will be developed. and
wealth will rebound upon us. We extend
a welcome to any and all who come
among us with the determination to re-
main and build homes for themselves and
their progeny. There are. In the neghbor-
hood. many young men just commencing
to lay the foundation Of permanent home
which will one day be- valuable and may
excite the envy of the passer-by. We
may. for instance, take glance at the
farms, which were settled upon twenty
years ago. covered with timbcrand under
brush so that there was scarcely room for
the passage of a mosquito. To-day, by
the indomitable energy and perseverance
of those early pioneers, those farms are
the pride of our settlement, and the
wealth Of our country; so, too. will it be
with those that are now under way. The
log cabin will gradually give place to the
pretty frame building which dots the
landscape Of our cities, and the tinklng of
COW bells, with the merry voices of child
rem. will be heard where now roams the
wild beast of the forest.
The future looms up before us with
bright horizon. traught with many changes
for the better, especially as new enter
prises are put in motion, providing sure
and ready market for the tillers of the soil
increasing our facilities, instrumental in
the circulation of capital among us, Great
ing employment for hundreds of idle hands
and bringing happiness and wealth to ali.
The question may safely be asked, what
need we more? T.

WE are willing to pit Mr.. Jas.
Smith, of this town, against the rest
of the world in raising strawberries.
Last week we mentioned sample
from his garden, which measured 81
inches round. The type should have
said Al. This week we have had the
pleasure Of adorning our editorial
table with a box containing about
half la gallon of berries from the same
garden, among which are several
specimens each of which makes the
large one Of last week look like a
veritable ''little one for a cent" The
varieties were Jocundi' and "Cun.
ningham," and finer berries never
grew. Mr.. Smith says if any body
can beat them he'll buy plants from
the champion at once.
