Col, Bennett Fl. Young, in a let
ter to the editorsofthis paper some
ten years since, among many
thugs about our resources in coal
and timber, said: " If the Ken

income from the products of the
county would surpass those,of any
county in The state. Great as
Bourbon, Fayette, Scott, Wood
ford, Clark, Jessamine, or other
of the richest agricultural counties
of the state, may be, they have
nothing which can approximate
the vast natural wealth of Wolfe,
which is now classed in the unfor-
tunate list Of 'spauper counties"
