II might be naturally supposed that

and associations, and keeps the rolling
stone without the moss" OF pecuni-
airy increase. Such shifting farmers
usually remain in comparative poverty.
II is little strange that this NOV
ing fever should afflict number Of the
"Mormon" people. They are usually
permanent settlers. They are counted
among the stable population OF the dis
tricts wherein they take up their abode.
They are Industrious, temperate, thrifty
and progressive. They are valuable to
any community. They make a mark on
the face OF the landscape which Is as
pleasant as 1t Is durable. Yet there are
some OF them who appear to be never
content. They are among those who
never are. but always to be, blessed.
Present favors fade in view OF alluring
prospects. Contentment vnnIshes when

OF course there are good reasons &C.
casionally for change OF residence and
Of climate. We have nothing 10 say
against legitimate causes for such
movements. We merely deprecate til,

however II not beneficial to themselves,
may have good results TO other people.
The land they have cleared and cult
waited. or which they have partly re-
deemed from the desert. may be occu-
pied by others who profit by It's de-
sertion They acquire it at n cost far
below that OF the first Investment and
laboIs, and gain success by building
upon the Others failures. This has
often been demonstrated IN Utah and
elsewhere.
Whe have recently learned of the
Intention of some of our people in the
Wayne Stake Of Zion to leave the
lands they have lived upon for some
time, and move to points farther north
in Thu State. The people who remain
there do not wish to break up their
homes, but are anxious to have some
good people of their faith for their
neighbOrs. II is stated that the farms
and improvements which are likely TO
be vacated can be obtained on very
reasonable terms, and we mention this
matter for the benefit OF persons who
may desire TO live IN warm climate,
where fruits can be raised OF the finest
quality, but where there are some dis
advantages as well as inducements. all
of which can be learned by applying Ia
the brethren in charge Of the people
IN that Stake.
Ii Is comparatively newly settled
region. but has been occupied for sew
eral years, and would suit people who
like a warm climate and whose tastes
run In the direction of Embarrassing
which could be combined with othei
pursuits, such MS the raising Of liv,
stock, and who cannot comfortably
live IN colder regions. We have No
Inducements to offer to anybody to g
into that country, which is sparsel,
settled but where, we believe. Their,
are openings for Industrious agricul.
turalists who are not afraid Of worl
and of colonization.
To those who have Il desire to In,

TO taking advantage Of the openings
referred to, we give the name OF c. $
