 Welier's poetic insipidity bears to Childc Harold.
 I And when Old Pope presents her man for the 1sf honor of the State, I she should be entirely satisfied with 1 his principles and his practices. and
 that his private greatness deserves 4 larger field of development Such a Uan may not succeed against wsre- 3puilers, but he will always reflect hon or upon the community which pre- sents and supports him.
 1 c. w. H. is all right on the emigra- tion question. Paying full prices for dead dogs may do to FILL UP the country but it won't develop it If yon want to count noses reject G. ". H and fling out free passes and extra ordinary inducements. Fools will bite but sensible men will make the nee ! essary allowances and stay at home. Putting don't inAate a solid to any grea. extent but it works wonders with the bladders of nothingness. l believe that you have good conn try, that the valley in which you are located has brilliant destiny. But ! when you attempt to make men be- Ilieve that a first rate crop of corn can be raised on ycnr soil by simply reading ssBaxter's Saints Rest at the field, and offer to pay. fellow $ expenses out there to help develop that sort of bonanza, he is very apt to think there is something rot ten in Denmark. Work Is necessary everywhere. Development means industry and economy. Kind na- .ure and favored locations quicken the operations of making and saving but they do not suppiaut them. \ poor man ought to go in cart the ! first two thirds of his life time 10 appreciate the pleasure of carriage during the remaining third And 1t is certain, that if he attempts 10 fill carriage during that portion oi bis life when he can't support cart. his living will have been vain aud will constitute burden upon the commu nifty which gives him room. StimE- late your people to cure that iaial love for bad roads; for poor side walks. for poor schools, for poor fences; for barren fields, for unseen | ly houses; for not reading the DEa ocRAr; for wanting paper at less that sI.J0 per annunn; for reading so little general literature and for not wanting to run for office. These things cured and immigrants will roll in like heas in an old stable. Kentucky is blessed with good land anzi poor land-each becoming worse as the years go by. sRa little effort is made to stop the deteriors
 ton. Rocky and worn ont land travessed everywhere by gulliss, capable of yielding from one half to five barrels of corn per acre. brings about eight dollars per acre. Land ! that will yield from 10 to l5 barrels per acre is held at from S25 10 S75 per acre. Land we'll set in blue grass and well fenced commands from $40 to $l25 per acre, and hard to obtain at that Farmers in new countries should profit by the foliies of she agriculturists in the older localities; Pioneer farming, or the system of always taking out and never putting back, has brought our land to its present undesirable con dition. Fields Ieed feeding as much as cattle: and if they are stiaiesi in mineral food they soon get as thin as tae stock of half-raiSea farmer. Gullies need stopping, fields need rest, stables need repairs, fences need re-settlng, houses need a c2r penter and farmers need shaking all over Kentucky. We also need slnsll CT farms and better eultss ation. Having unproducsivs land 10 look al and makrng 300 acres yield what ought 10 grow on 5n, are IhlRgs which dwarf the prosperity of the whole State and retard immigration to the highest degree Every State ought to pass 8 law prohibiting the acQuirement of more than Sts0 acres of land. or quantity no more ihas one man can make yield Us fullest quantity without deterioration
 We claim 10 have the best ccGntrg in the world We do have $ good climate and nature farnisheG Us with boantiful soil. But we have departed from the faith The old home siu't what il used to wAs, neither is the dlrt. We have & good school system which is improving every year. We have good laws ana ase out sf debt Our iaterESl m prorements won't do "a brsz about. but ne expect much from ihe Mot fAff Register. This is cheap ex- pedient for raising money, and 0ar people don't object 10 improving 50 long as they are noS directly taxed ! for that parposs-
