Long of \Batavia 25 each; bad read of the genial climate the long growing seasons, the many opportuni ties that are scattered all over the new and awakening South. They read of the vast mineral wealth; the dense and valuable forests; the cheap lands; the mammoth fishing interests, and their minds became fired. They came here and because they found men and women walking in flesh and blood; because they found that the fish must be caught, the minerals must be mined, and the land must be tilled; because they found that it cost them something to live; because they found no money strewing the ground like forest leaves; because they were expected to work, they were disappointed. Land, too, costs something and was not given away. They found the country new and awaiting the labor of the settler. These conditions were to much for them. They found basking in the sun light beneath the forest trees was very poetical but it would not appease hung er. The result was that they either went back to where they started from or else went West to experience even worse conditions. Such people are not wanted in any new country. They are | like the \silversmiths and gentlemen\ who figured in our early history as colo nists. They should never try the ex periment of settling in a new country. But men of nerve— men with sand in theif \gizzards\ come here and in a short time accomplish much. FRANK P. WOODWORTH. ARCADE, N. Y.. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY I, 1895. THE CODNTY NEWS. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.

A few days after the dauntless three letters went forth the postmaster began to re ceive a good many letters for Edna Brown. It surprised him. Knowing exery man, woman, child and dog in town, he was aware of Miss Brown marriage. His surprise soon deepened to astonishment, his astonishment in to consternation and his consternation into despair. Tho letters for Edna Brown kept increasing. They soon filled a bushel basket daily. Thon they filled several baskets. It rained etters. Instead of the usual small pouch the Kanesville mail required several. The postmaster was obliged to hire an assistant. Wednesday tho number received was 17,000. Monday it reached 15,000.
