following, names modified 10 our
purpose. which deserves the Sc
rious thought of our farmers and
merchants contemplating going
west:
To those who, from frequent
perusal of the advertising matter
Of western railroads having lands
for sale, have come 10 the con-
clusion that Hooking county is
"played OUT" and that there is
nothing left tor all of us to do but
to go west or degenerate, the
Sentinel eiFers a few remarks in
this column this week. They
are addressed more directly to
the farmers, and are especially
commended to the young, ambi-
tious men among them. There
is nothing that it pays better to
cultivate than brains; and in
dustry, good judgment and ener
gy will have their ample reward
in Hooking county as surely as
in the land of the setting sun, or
anywheye else. Hooking coun-
ty has its advantages, among
which are its nearness to the
great markets of the country,and
its adaptation to fruit growing and
grazing. Its attractions for those
who have an attachment for the
home and associations of their
youth are also not to be lightly
considered in an enumeration of
the things that 60 TO make up
the happiness and satisfaction of
life. But it will be necessary to
get out of the old ruts, take ad-
vantage of the changed condition
of affairs brought about by rail
roads and fast river transporta
tion and introduce more life and
enterprise, and, to large extent,
revolutionize the methods of
our farmers. The opportunities
are here for those who will see
them.
A word might also be said to
The men who do the mercantile
and other trading of this county.
Those who have taken a trip
through the i.ewer counties Of
the west were impressed with the
amount of business done by the
merchants in towns of one and
three thousand population in
counties having ten or fifteen
thousand population. They men,
tally contrast the fine business
blocks, the array of brisk clerks,
the extensive displays of attract
i've merchandise, the public spir-
it and confidence of the people,
with the slower methods and
quieter conditions at home and
conclude the difference is in the
country or on account of the diff
ference in the soil. 1t is more
reasonable to suppose, however.
that it is largely on account of|
