The Literary Society of Arp,
met last Saturday night by reg
ular appointment. In the ab
sence of a regular programme,
there were impromptu exercis
es by several of the member-’.
After which, Rev. T. O. Rorie
delivered an address replete
with eloquence, cheering words
and good advice. There is an
interesting and instructive pro
gramme for the next meeting.
All good people are earnestly
solicited to attend. Vidi.
City Agaius* Country.
r lho cities of the United
Stales are growing at the ex
pense of the country and the
villages. Louisville is getting
fast along toward 200,000 in
habitants, whil?smaller places
around us are losing people.
Wlie > Louisville was young.
Middletown was considered an
important place, and in some
things a rival to the Falls City.
Jeflersontcwn was also hope
ful enough to boast. Now these
places are hardly more than de
serted villages. Mt, Washing
ton, Taylorsville, Fairfield and
other small places have shown
little or no increase for years.
There is a growing tendency
among young people to get
away to the city. Only the old
folks are left; they do not fee!
the restlessness of ambition
and are content to stay. The
boys are also leaving the farms
as soon as they are given their
libeity, and one journeying
tli.-ough the country can not
help noticing the scarcity of
young men. During the busy
f-e-sons in the country there is
universal eomplaint of the
want of labor, while in the cit
ies are thousands of idle men
who are actually suffering for
the commonest comforts of life.
The population between the
cities and the country should
be more ev-.nly balanced,
fheusands of men who meet
with only disappointment in
the city could find profitable
employment ia the country. If
the population of the stale was
more scattered through the
country and small villages
there would be less cause of
complaint; all could find em
ployment, and the state would
be more jjrosperous and far hap
pier.
r ihe tendency of corin'ry
young men to flock to the city
should be discouraged. They
come without any mechanical
knowlelge, are not masters of
any particular trade, they are
just looking around for some
thing that is easily' done, they
don’t know exactly what, or
caro much, so it keeps them in
tiie city r . The trouble is there
are so many' of this class of peo
ple around the city now that
there are not enough easy
places to go around These
young men should be taught
from the start “that life is real,
life is earnest,” and that there
are no easy' places with big sal
aries attached to them. The
way to preferment is through
hard work, and after fifteen o r
twenty' years, toil, if he proves
worthy and is fortunate, he
may drop into an easy place;
but it is a hard road to travel
from the start.
The large cities of this coun
try arc overcrowded, and the
pace set is so fast that life
soon wears away'. It is con
stant toil from the first, and all
is won the good is hardly worth
the having. The best advice
to young men is to stay on the
farm, there a living is sure and
life is happy and independent;,
true, city life has some advant
ages, but its toils and its strug
gles are far greater. The case
might be sighted of a young
man who came to the city in
high hope and dete-mined to
win fame and fortune, but af
ter waiting over a year his moil
ey gave out and he found em
ployment as a stre ;t car driv
er. This work was too exhaust
ing for him and he scon had to

give up the position. A few
months more of disappoint
ment in looking for employ
ment and lie walked back to the
farm. This is probably one
case in thousands. The stories
of success are always publish
ed, but nothing is ever said of
the failures Out of a thousand
young men who flock into the
cityirom the country', not ov
er fifteen or twenty per cent,
of them ever succeed.
The large populations in the
cities-depend upon tho coun
try for many of the neocsities
of life; no matter whether a
man succeeds or fails, he must
eat. and as the years go by the
opportunity of making money
in the country will increase.
W e advise young men to
stay away from tho city, their
chances will be better oil the
farm or in small towns. They
may not have as much fun, but
when they grow old they will
have more vitality left and will
be able longer to enjoy life.—
