Picking the bottle up one of the boys uncorked it and drew out' a piece of note paper on which Was written the following: ‘•Feb. 17, 1889.

In response to a letter recently written, I have a communication from Andrew Colonization, J. Rodgers, President American and .Indus trial Bureau.of New York, .touching upon r question rapid of vital, development importance*, as to-the more of the agricultural interests of our county. We hkye it.’now in our pow er Renfcatiypjlaniiers to secure a large colony of repre Ifopr the Novtu or West, in our midst,—mien of ene^gyj thrift and economy, men who know, and appreciaialbe value of a dollar, •who would set a go'den example in the eouduct and management of their emulation. farming interests, It would well worthy mice our at tend to lay the foundation of a grad ual solution of the most knotty problem of the south, the race ques tion, and while other industries are successfully would striding ahead, agricul ture also receive a long hoped for recognition in the victories that are being so rapidly gained in the annals of the New South Wo should la y aside tlje prejudices of the past, buried in the consolidation of the states as a Union, and extend a hand of welcome to those intelli gent farmers of the North, wiio are willing to leave their native homes and and energies surroundings, risk their capital amongst us, in an at tempt to successfully redeem our farming lands to their once paying standard of excellence,—live under the guidance of our customs, gov ernment and laws, as good and re spected citizenry. This state of af fairs must inevitably ensue, or later, put the ball in motion now, and live to see the thousands waste land in our county, developed Tip increase to a high state of cultivation, by an of population from imi communication grative husbandry. In Mr. Rodgers he asks for an op tion, as Boon as possible upon five thousand acres of laud, as nearly in one and body descriptive as possible; giving terms a embodied. diagram lie of the Country means bus iness, and asks for the same consid eration on our part. By the imme diate establishment of a small bu reau of emigration amongst the land owners of mis county, I have no but the course of a very lew years, all the thousands of pores of land now uncultivated, upon which we are paying taxes, and de tinted fivmg no dividends, could bemu'ga through these Northern Byndacfttes, sold to these colonies of emigrant farms, farmers, cut up into and developed into a p^iug industry.
