Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer
NOTES FROM WESTERN YORK.
HooDTowN, June 13.-Thinking that 1T
might be of some interest to your readers
to hear from this section, I will write you
few lines. have been here since January
only. find this to be one of the finest coun-
tries / have been in in some time. The
land is quite productive. The farmers can
and do raise wheat, oats, corn, etc., in an
abundance, with heavy yield of cotton
per acre. There are some magnificent farm
ers in this section.
AS to our citizens, they are very quiet
and full of enterprise. Society is now very
good. Our people are very good to 60 to
church, and attentive hearers when they 60,
and not only hearers of the word, but do
ers also.
Upon the whole this country is develop
ing rapidly, and the time is near at hand
when this will be the garden OF York
county. Taking the land and the people,
filled with the energy of this people, ana IT
is only question of time when she shall
wave her flag in triumph, having achieved
glorious victory for themselves by their
industry and patience:
This country has had many disadvan-
tages to overcome. She is overcoming
them. The fire of progress is now burning
upon the minds of our people. The cry IS,
1--WE want railroad; bring on the iron
horse and We'll pay for him.
We want better schools. Who will come
and teach? We will build you academies.
Come in with your classic Greek; we want
to learn to read it. We have the money,
and will pay you for all you do.
Again, look to the Water-poWer in this
country. The numerous falls on Broad Riv-
er. Millions Of spindles may be run by
this grand old stream. [ have no doubt IN
my mind but the time is coming when there
will be numerous factory towers up and
down the banks Of Broad River, and the
sound Of the Weaver's shuttle will be heard
all along her banks, and the noise OF the
dray, and, the whistle and Whoop OF the
drayman will be veXation to the loaf
ers as they sit at the corners to Whittle their
lives away, ana awake Che uroneS III socle-
ty as the whirl Of the worlds commerce
shall heedlessly pass them by.
Give this people a railroad, which they
will have in spite of every opposition, for
they will offer sufficient inducement to some
capitalist, and the old iron horse with bow
els of fire and nostrils of steam will come.
Then these fertile fields that pour their
harvest into the lap of the country will be
in great demand as the sight shall be seen
by the wandering vagrant. -,
There are so many things that we could
say about this people and this country that
space would not allow it, and will conclude
by repeating the words of the Queen OF
Sheba when she came to visit the magnifi-
cent temple of King Solomon: When she
had entered the building, she threw up
her hands in astonishment, and exclaimed,
''The half has not been told" s.J. NIL.
