We might add dozens and
hundreds of names Of reliable
and practical men who give the

now is to make Il few brief rG-

Mr.. Eienderson's estiinnte is
that every Attachment will re-
qlirc $1,000 invested in perina-
nclt machinery, house, etc,
and $1,000 for working capital,
(Which would be reduced large
~ in pr0nortion to the number
crccteI.) Now such an expense
does make it impractical to {,

most glorious aud civilized
word i'll the Ell @lish language,

Let every neighborhoou deter
mine to have one or more At
tachlnents, and band themselves
by tens OF hundreds, according
TO their abb tty, and raise tn"
required amount OF money nee
esSary for the purpose.
Pla ters do this, make the
effort, Giveit your earnest study
and thought. The investment
will pay YOU more largely than
any other You could possibly
make, be under your own ST.
pervision, and enrich Yourself
and country. Cease to make
one crop your sole dependence,
and set apart this little fund
for your wives and possible
education ofEoyr children.

large ones, and this natural
sequence is one OF our chief
reasons for saying the Clement
Attachment is one Of the most
glorious achievements of mod
ern times for the SoutIl's pros-
perity.
From the same paper we take
the following personal expert
