VIII the great County Of Bradley be
behind all other counties In East Ten
nessee by way Of Improvement Sure
ly not. She is equal In population aud
wealth with other counties. IL Ia q
universal remark Of all strangers, or
railroads and passers By. that Cleye-
land Is the cleanest, prettiest aud most
beautiful town anywhere, and is the
admiration Of all who visit IL. 1t Is al
so universally remarked by all who
visit our court house, that il Is the
poorest, III adopted thing that was ever
known. We well know that such Is a
literal fact.
Now the county Of Bradley ought
sand can build a new court house, that
will be Al honor TO her; and never
Infs What it cost them. 1t ought to be
arranged TO give them about two years
to pay it and they will have "A. good
house and never miss 1t. Let Bradley
County build one at a cost OF not more
than s25, 5000 o at some suitable place
near the public square, and then use
the public square where the old n is
for a.park, with a beautiful fountain in
the centre, and this will make, Cleve-
land as it 4 be the admiration Of the
whole country.
HAMILTON, Jones, iNeAinn, Monroe,
Rcanc, Green, Washington and Camp
bell have already built court houses
suitable 10 the age, and Knox is going
to build II TO cost slOO, OOO,O 90. II we
had n at a cost Of say s25, 10000 and
convert the public square into a public
park, Cleveland would be what nature
made her, the pride Of the world, and
1t would not be long until she would
increase in population from 5000 to 10,
| 900 inhabitants, and the natural result
would be, THAT manufactures would
seek their natural place at or near the
| city, and It would naturally be Il resort
for people, for health, business and
pleasure, where an abundance Of good
water flows. 1t is naturally o healthy
place, and well adopted for high schools
aud all classes of business. A good fe-
male school is now badly needed, and
Il suitable house for that purpose. We
now have at leas. 800 girls in Cleveland;
us beautiful and healthy as ever lived,
who ought now TO be in school. They
must and can be If our people will but
try. Shall we have IL? Or shall we
neglect their education. 10 make our
city all we want, IL for Our county TO
build u new court house, and then
such manufactures as will naturally
spring up, and good male and female
schools. These things will naturally
and surely bring people to Cleveland
and no mistake, and it will not be long
till it will not only be a place Of bust
ness and capital, but also 4 place of
health and pleasure, and a summer re-
sort for hundreds of people. Nature
has done all its work we'll. Let the
people think well Of these great ques-
tons, and do so at once. Chattanooga
has been built mp by = united effort of
her people. Cleveland must do like
wlse-Or they will fail. Now the city
aud county demand the new court
house, and actually need IL, and can
build it and hurt nobody, aud the JUS
tices of the county ought not to hest
tate one moment about it, but unitedly
make az appropriation to build 1t. The
same argument is applicable to a high
fen9le school or college, snd let the
Irrespective of politics or relig!
ion, unitedly 60 TO work and build it,
When these ends are accomplished,
then MANUFACTURERS and other. enter.
\ prisee naturally follow. Then a rail
road from North Carolina by way of
Ducktown to cleveland and from
Cleveland to intersect the Cincinnati
Southern 'ator near Dayton will GER
tainly be made and prosperity will be
the result, and then Cleveland viii
truly be denoninated the Eden Of the
world. Let rs all quit the absurd
