"There ore many reasons, Mr. Editor,
which should make (lie people of this county

the cnterpriscx now en foot. Union is their
home, and huoiblo th ugh it may be, it
would be left v.'Mi regret. It is easier and
bo'tor to prosper among friends in the same
effort than among strangers. There is no
reason why joint effort in Union should not
make her natural advantages equally as
profitable as less fivorablc circumstances in
other parts of the fc'outn have proved to bo
to tho-e who unite to utilize them. Factional
feeling alw iys lessons the reward of
