Keep I'p Values, A few days ago, a party front the east wan in town for Hie purpose of making some real estate purchases in this county. He whs looking for Investments and had the cash, and was well pleased with the country. But the liveryman who brought him over from Pleasanton and other parties triced farms at about one-half of their value and effectually disgusted him with a country, the land of which is held at so little value by the people. The value the people put upon their property, determines in the eyes ot strangers the worth of the country, and no more effectual means to keep capital out and scare investors away can be adopted than to depreciate values by pricing lands below their true value. Why cant everybody speak a good word for our country? What is wanted is capital and not pessimists enterprises and not retrogression.

This is a good country never he its low just as easy to sell land for $20 or i ud land values vv ill again as now. It is an acre as $10 or $12, because it is woith it. Every one who prices it dow rt is injuring himself arid everybody else. Eastern capitalists ate bunting investments in western binds because they are afraid of hanks and manufacturing, and commercial paper Is at a discount, Land buyers will be in this country this summer and will purchase if the people themselves do not discourage and drive them out by running down their own land. Let everyone give the country a good name and help hold up values.

If you i cant sell to a mart help some else sell if he wants to. Get people in who have money and everybody will stand a chance to get some of it. Keep up values. Btirtg your best girl to town arid have her picture taken, while you can get them for $1.50 per dozen. i A i.
