Our Young Friend in Arkansas,

CABOT, ARKANSAS, Dec. -. "a.
MEssRs. EDITORS: I noticed in last
weeks ADVERTISER. in your editorial
concerning Arkaneas. that sit were
infinitely wiser in the young men to
stay where they were-and work
hard" and I ask you the question,
for whom must they work? Must they
s.ay in Carolina and work for those
who have homes, and never be able
to get home of their own? No, I
think not; it is infinitely wiser for
them to come West, where they can
get land at mere song (and land
that is far superior to that Of Carroll
na) and where it can be bought with
out ready cash-with plenty Of time
to pay for it. Why, Messrs. Editors,
South Carolina is getting like Old Ire
land few own land, and those few
own 1t all; and I think it wise in
any young man to leave, who has no
home in Carolina, when be can have
the many advantages the West gives
to those seeking homes. I can say to
the young men Of Carolina, who have
but small sum, if they come here
they can be the happy owners of a
little home in little while. / speak
from my own experience. I have
lived ia South Carolina. and worked
hare" and the best portion Of my life
has been wasted trying TO get start.
Now I am in the West, and my chief
regret is that did not come sooner.

love old Edge6eld, as much as any
State loving cltizen ought, yet know
it is to the interest Of all Of her poor
sons to come West, that they may be
self sustaining, and lay up little for |
a rainy day. If they stay in Carolina,
and could get paying position,
when they have saved money enough
to buy a little home, they could be
called no longer young. There is the
trouble. Life is short, and IN order
to get start, go they can enjoy it,
they will have to come West.
