The wide-awake Jasper County
News, has done a great deal for
Jasper county, and for its town,
the News has no superior in the
state. Monticello ought to be
proud of it, and evidently is, it has
this to say;
“As we now have the rail
road with all of its facilities
and advantages, is it not about time
for our people to wake up? For
years our county has been afflicted
with an ailment called “land poor,”
and we then thought and said if we
could only get a rail-road, so that
we could come in contact with the
outside world and a market foi our
surplus land, we would be on the
look out for purchasers, invite people
to come in our midst, and would offer
such inducements as would cause
them to settle with us. But now
that we have the road, all seem to
nave subsided, and we are failing to
utilize and avail ourselves of the
many advantages now at our door,
and are letting the golden opportu
nity pass. If we wish to see our
county built up, and our surplus and
waste lands utilized, let us wake up
and show the world that ours is a
grand old country, and that we have
room, and extend a welcome to oth
ers to come among us. There are
many people in the North who
would be glad to have a winter home
and many in Florida who would be
glad of a summer resort with us,and
the day is not far distant when our
county will be in a few hours ride
the North and Florida, therefore
us wake up and tackle them as they
pass, and let it be known who
are and wfiat we have. If we remain
silent, other localities will offer in
ducements and attract the population
that we want away from us. This
is no time for “pent up utica” or “old
fogyism” or selfishness if we wish to
see prosperous.” our grand old county thrifty and

their money. But their doubts and
fears have all vanished, as the much
desired pay was received, and all
have returned to their work with
cheerful smiles and glad hearts.
