To the Farmers Of the County.

| Anu 10 All VINO desire 10 see
it prosperous and progressive.
An immigration society was organ
lied in Pulaski on the 18th inst.
with one of the most prominent.
sensible and successful farmers in
our midst as for its president. This
is a step in the right direction, and
if those who have the deepest inter
est in its success will come prompt
! ly to its support, the most satisfac
tory results will follow.
The tide of emigration from our
county should be checked ifpossi
BILE, forwe have all the elements of
material prosperity, if the energies
of our people were directed to their
proper development. Many of our
good citizens are seeking homes in
other states. Our bests interest de-
mand that their places shall be sup
piled from other sections. We have
a fertile soil, susceptible of rapid re-
cuperation when impoverished. We
have every aptitude for n mixed
husbandry, n genial climate, and
good health.
But we need improved methods
of culture, more skilled labor
more diversified husbandry, all of
which may be secured by an intelli-
gent and vigorous prosecution ofthe
objects of this organization. Its
success means more wealth, re
duced taxes, the establishment of
manufactures, good roads, thrift,
increased business activity, better
schools, and, indeed, a new depar-
ture in every material direction.
We have room for more land owners,
more labOrers, we need more money
and wise farm management. This
organization, earnestly supported
by the farmer, who will be its great
est beneiciaries, will aid in pro
noting these ends. There Is Ur
gent need of organized effort
amongst Qg, ofan Intelligent under
standing OF the conditions upon
which our prosperity depends, and
OF close, cooperation.
Those who desire an active, Wig
orous, progressive development of
our industrial interests, should meet
once q month, to discuss these sub
jects which are of vital importance
to our prosperity, and in regard to
which we should act wisely, and
the contrary would be ipoxousable.
We appeal to the farmers of the
county. The organization is de-
signed to promote your best inter
ests, and the interests of those who
are, like yourselves, identified with
it's fortunes. The plans of the or
ganization are so practical, and 50
well adapted to the ends IN view, as
to commend taem to your better
judgment. The next meeting will
be held on Saturday, the 9TH of
January proX., in the court
house. Col. Taliafero and Major
Jones have been appointed to deliv
er addresses on that occasion. The
objects and its modes of procedure
will he fully set forth. Come and
hear for yourselves, We have it
in our power to inaugurate an era
oil Such prosperity ana develop
ment rs we have never before seen
in Giles county, or to further dwarf,
by n continued indifference to this
and other movements il our behalf,
our own best interests. We need
prompt and vigorous action, n
strong pull and all together, steady
and persistent effort, and for our
county future of progress, worthy
our manhood and the age in which
we live. Other counties are NOV
ing in this direction; let us keep
step in the onward march. Re
member the meeting Saturday, 18th |
January, at II o'clock in the court |
house in Pulaski; and don't forget
that the skilled labor we need TO
improve our husbandry, the capital
to buy the land we have to sell, and
to build up manufactures, await our
invitation. y.
