Many inducements are open TO
capitalists. An investment in a pa
per pillin this city would certainly
pay good profit There are many
tons $fpaler consumed in this city
Annually, ThcNew Era and South
! Kentnckiam alone consume several
tons each year. The matcria! for
making thousands of tons Is wasted
every year by farmers in this county
IN the shape Of wheat straw. A. pa
per mill here would consume all the

Surplus straw inthe county.
This enterprise is certainly worthy

farming lands,in the State OH the
south and west, and rich pastures, or
chards and mineral lands on the
north and east, certainly possesses
very unusual facilities for becoming
a>great manufacturing center, with
iron and coal in inexhaustible guam
titles only twenty miles distant, and
on railway that brings them to her
door, and as the market for the hun
dreds of thousands of bushels of sur
plus grain yearly produced in the
country, it should contain foundries,
work shops, machine shops, ETC.,
that would employ ten thousand
, hands, and create a home market for
much of our surplus grain and cattle.
With these advantages it could sup
