resources as the most desirable portion
o. the Union FOR homes of comfort and
happiness. The old bug bear of negro
domination has been removed and except
for partisan purposes the people of the
North are now ready to admit the loyalty
of those of this section aud the splendid
progress they are making in the develop
ment OF it's resources.
While the North and West did not
suffer from the blight of civil war and
were not subjected to legislation which
put premium upon ignorance and Gu
pidity, but, instead, emerged from the
conflict with increased wealth and re-
sources, such has been the energy of the
Southern people and SO great has been
the developed wealth of this section that
with the rst opportunities for recupera-
ton they exhibited signs of thrift and
progress which have at last excited the
wonder and admiration of the whole
country. Nor is this strange, for all ac-
qualnted with the character of the peo-
pie, the extent and variety of Southern
productions and the latent resources of
this section must Admit that great as has
been its progress SO far as the extent of
its population and future development
are concerned, it is still in its infancy.
Its coal fields are ineXhaustible and it's
mineral resources practically without
limit, while already its lumber is sent to
all parts of the world. It's industries
have increased wonderfully in later
years, and in the matter of iron the pro
duct of this section is in successful COM
petition with the rest Of the world Cot
ton mills and other industries have
sprung up i'll various parts of the South,
and with the great staple of this section
at their very doors competition has al
ready forced Northern manufacturers in
the same line t. move their machinery
here.
Not alone in the matter of cloths and
the manufacture of iron have the South
ern people shown great advancement;
but while the rest of the country was
suffering from long continued business
depression the South held her own and
gave substantial evidence of material pro-
gress in many localities. The result of
nil this Improvement has been to attract
the attention of the world IL this section,
and already the tide of immigration has
been turned in this direction. Large
amounts of capital have been invested
here, and with a general improvement of
financial conditions throughout the
country we may confidently expect n
much larger inflow of people and money.
What has been said of Southern re-
sources in general is particularly applica-
BILE to Virginia, whose favorable position
geoer graphically and whose proximity to
the great ceuters of wealth and popula-
tiOn make this State most desirable
one for ali who would have homes of cas-
and comfort. With the advantages in
location, climate, soil, in mineral and
other resources possessed by the Old Do
minion, it ought not to he long before
there vii. be steady flow of capital and
immigration into the State to build up
her waste places and cause the whole
land to blossom as the rose
AS in every business the tradesmen
must advertise to let public know the
value and utility of his wares, so in The
building up of communities or States
those are most successful who make
known to the world the advantages they
possess in all things that contribute to
the comfort and happiness of man. Vir-
ginia has all the essentials to wealth and
prosperity within her borders, and if this
fact be properly made known to the rest
of the world it will not be long before
thousands will be Fastening here to share
in her advantages
