my, SoU, mllllHerS, SoO, planning ana
saw mill hands $35; stone cutters, $50;
tailors, $50; teachers in schools $50 to
SO, according to grade; printers just
whatever they can get. too many boys
trying to learn the trade is what cuts
the printers wages down, so they have
to work for whatever they can get or
starve.
HEALTH AND SOCIETY.
The healthfulness of our climate is
not surprising, it is warm, yet temper.
ed and toned by pleasant breezes ever
blowing. 1t is the South, yet dry and
as free from malaria than any other
county in the State. AS to society,
Madison will compare with any county
in the world, as we believe a greater
portion of our people belong to some
Christian church than can be found i'm
other counties. In fact Madison is
filled up with an intelligent class of
people, who do her credit by proving
themselves true Kentuckians.
TO HOMEsEEKERs.
Madison county offers greater induce
ments to labor and capital than any
other county in Kentucky. To every
good citizen of every nationality, re-
gardless of his political or religious
views; Madison extends a welcome as
broad as her vast domain and as free as
the winds that sweep over it Madison
unhesitatingly proclaims at, for
healthfulness, picturesqueness and
inviting qualities of her people and
their characters, it cannot be surpassed
in the universe. Its scenery is grand,
its productiveness marvellous, its eli
mate the most genial. Much Of it is
magnificently watered and lying in
gently undulating sweeps Of prairie and
wooded heights. 1t is the paradise of
the agriculturist as well as the stock
purity, as il came from the hand of the
Creator, awaiting the energy of the hus
bandman, when it will generously re-
spOnd to all human wants and abund-
antly reward all who toll.
Madison wants emmmigration-there
can be no question about that-and the
kind of emigrants Madison wants are
men who will produce something; men
who will add to the intrinsic value of
the land by cultivating and improving
it; men who will get up early in the
morning and work six days in the
week; and who will not think it too
much trouble to milk a COW, that they
may have cream for their coffee; men
who will not be content to merely
scratch the ground and make a bare
living, but who will pillow deep and cul-
/ tivate the land as the rich and prOduc-
| tive soil of Madison should be cultiva-
ted. Madison wants these men to bring
with them money enough to buy land,
fence it and cultivate it. Madison wants
any number of strong able bodied men
who can plOw, and zig, and SOW, ana
reap; men WHO are willing to acccpI
rC.Is oraDie Wages, ami WHO are neither
iIslIaIne uur afraid ~ labor on a farm,
DIVE Il team VI work on "a stock or she, !,
farm; men " In will live econumIirall,
Tor year or two, that they may do bet
,cI after while.
Madison vans capiialisls-men WHO
have energy and enterpiee-men with
mUnry to build manufacturing indus
res, 10 run saw-mills, and develop the
b. resources OF our surrounding noun
taius. Madison wants the sluckman,
because he will raise more cattle,
horses, sheep, ETC., and shipping these
to foreign markets, he will bring back
gold or the necessaries and luxuries
that gold will buy. The Immigrant who
has money enough to buy farm can
obtain land as rich as any in the world
at from S75 to 500 an acre.
The natural conditions of success,
alike for labor and capital, are here pre-
scented in multiplicity of avenues.
This is being done, and will doubtless,
continue to be done, in an increasing
ratio as these splendid conditions be-
come known to the world at large. The
same and even for superior results, can
be, and are now being returned by in
vestments in Madison to the East, that
she reaped in the past two or three
decades in furnishing capital with
which to develop the West.
Madison, the great county of Ken
lucky, with all her marvellous a6vanta-
ges, extends her greetings to the world,
and extends to labor and capital an in
vitation to visit her and see her in all
the glorious beauty. Queen of the Blue
Grass counties of that grand old State
Kentucky.
