The Rising South.

West, young man, go west,
were heard upon every side, and
the advice of the noted journalist
was the very epitome of wisdom.
A half century has proved the
accuracy of his judgment, the
clearness of his foresight and the
sentence he uttered has made
thousands of persons comfortable
and happy by their adoption of
his thought.
If he could speak to day, un-
doubtedly he would change the
direction he would give to the
young men of rising and present
generation, and the prophetic
spirit would impel him to say:
''Go South, young man, go
South. =" The bright rays of the
rising sun of prosperity are illu-
mining the Southland from the
Susquehanna to the Gulf of Cali
fornia. From Harye de Grace
to the Salton Sen. from the Ohio
River to Key West, there is
neither stop nor stay to the tide
of development which is rising
steadily throughout the states
and territories of the South. It
is no temporary stream, no con-
tracted flood, but it is the begin
ming of a sweep of prosperity as
enduring as the everlasting hills
and as solid as the rocks of gran
tie.
This republic is witnessing the
commencement of an epoch that
will bring the people Of the
South to their own again and
make their section the powerful
and directing force it was in the
earlier days Of the Union. The
term New South" never ap-
peals to us. The glorious mem
cries of the old South are not to
be furnished, supplanted or up
rooted by latter-day terms, and
it is the worthy sons of heroic
fathers, men true to the tradi-
lions, the ideals, the creeds of
their ancestors who have at last
conqured all difficulties and
placed their native South once
more in the front of progress
and prosperity.
Blood will tell, and, despite
the carnage and destruction of
war, the robberies and military
spoliations, the people of the
South have risen above all diff
culties and their superb courage,
unsullied honor and civic virtues
compel the admiration of the
people of the world to-day. With
their great heritage of rich
agricultural domains; their magni-
ficent parts, strung like pearls
from Baltimore to Galveston;
their waterways and mineral
treasures, and a climate most in
viting, the people of South hold
to-day the richest, the fairest
and the most attractive region of
the known world. There op-
portunity beckons to every eager
seeker after wealth; fortune
smiles and waits for those that
would follow her, and success
stands ready to crown those who
are worthy of her laurels. To
every one. rich and poor, the
South today offers the fairest
prospects and the most abundant
rewards. Cincinnati Enquirer.

could not stand it that far West,
and that her health was fast fail

to Texas, and landed there with
her about one week before her
death.
She was able to make the trip
as a passenger, and was able to
be up some the day before she

diseases, and suppose it's hard
to say what killed her, but Fri

her bedside before death had

a matter of history. George refused to

offer to Henry George to retire, AS
opposed to this. Henry George, Jr..
