Ms.srs. LoHyneeksr Bro..:-I think you are very
naughty men To publish that piece about me in
your issue Of the 5th inst. Just a. I, like my
friend Mr.. John W. Davis, Of Baltimore city, had
made mastery change Of base and retired ~
from politics" why here comes your woodberry
correspondent and tells of that "sassinger and pO
tato roast" down In the woods. have, however,
one comfort with Il which my friend. =. H.. has
not. was there and got some Of ''then sassin-
gers aud potatoes. and IL seems to mo that prob
ably owing to this fac, your correspondent felt
"sour' and signed himself"Grapss" Never mind
"Neddy = shake hands over the bloody chasm.
forgive you " you never say any worse about me.
This section has much changed since roamed
around here as boy, both appreciated and deprc-
eiated. The old manufacturing and labor estab-
iishmsnts, mills, FORCES. etc., have disappeared and
their places know them no more. But the agri-
cultural element occupies q much higher plane. -
don't suppose the Jericho and Frankiinvilie cot
ton factories win be revived at least In this
generation. The owners Of these properties give
no evidence In themselves Of sufficient business
tact To bring Il outside capital TO take hold aud
put them on q successful business foundation. -
They profess TO think that In these properties 1.-THE
water power and other advantagesl they have the
most valuable franchises, yet themselves chow no
appreciation Of them, whilst pectng others end
outsiders 20 rush In where they afraid 10 Trad
Gle who would himself be free,
Must 6rsf strike the blow"
And the same parallel holds true here. II ever
the new Baltimore and Ohio railroad IL run through
on the contemplated line near here, Il will have
reviving effect on some Of these other industries
and probably largely increase the interest In the
canning operations-now the largest industry Of
this whole section, and destined, with careful,
economical. business management, 10 rcvolationire
this part Of the country and pour money into u.
I shall take occasion hereafter 10 speak more In
detail Of these various factories aud give sketch
of than.
There 10 room up here for paper mill 10 use up
the straw, and wish my friends. W. II. Hoffman
Sons, would look around. Whilst do not
think there IL BONANZA for cotton factory on
the sits Of the old Frankliuviils MILL do believe
q straw paper mill, or . husk factory, or large
canning factory would "coln the ducats," Or per-
haps . creamery, cheese and butter. II had
John Baeon's hard, practical common sense,
might be able TO give you more light ON the latter
satjssi.
II might be TO the advantage Of our county pa
pers they would get their correspondents 10 dis
euss these subjects Of great and mutual interest,
or " the Granger Clubs would discuss them and
the talks be afterwards printed Il would add much
nest aud interest 10 your columns. Can you not
work up this suggestioni I know I read the
0unpowdsr Clubs talks with the greatest relish
and learn much. Try u and zee u good does not
result.
Apologising for my lsngth and promising to let
you hear from me again, am
