GO South, Young Man

If Horace Greeley were alive today
and observant of existine conditions
as of yore, be would find it necessary
to slightly alter the advice he gave to
the young men of Il former genera
ton, and, instead of admonishing
them 10 90 West, would coincide
with Leslie's Weekly. when it saws.
"Go South. young man. More mon
ey has been made in the Southern
States III the last twenty years than
Will be made in the next fifty wears
IN Cuba. Porto Rico or the Philip
pines, and the chances for making
money in the South have only com
menced.
Nothing could be truer. and in
contemplating a change of residence
now our young men of the South are
simply considering a suicidal tempta
ton to turn their backs on the most
splendid and inviting opportunity ev
er presented. The South is now lust
at the threshold of a golden era of
such prosperity as never came to q
country before. it is Just aroused
from restful and helpful sleep, and
Is prepared to enter into an estate of
unexampled progress and profit.
Within another quarter of century
the South will have developed into
one of the greatest manufacturing
centers of the world. and with its
factories Will come its hope and its
harvest. Every blessing that nature
IN her most lavish moods could be-
stow Is already its own, and with the
development of its resources will
come that day Of greater things for
which its people have waited so long
The advice from lesie's is good
advice. and it applies with peculiar
force to the young men who are in
the South already. .- Memphis Scimi-
