There has been more visitors to

known. There are several causes
that have brought them; money
is plentiful and people can afford to
travel, the severe cold in the North
has driven many here TO escape from

ducements for the investment of
capital eqral TO any other State. The
railroads that have recently been
built are paying good bonuses, plenty
more are wanted in different parts of
the State that will give good returns
for the money spent. Capitalists see
that there is money to be made in
