Summer muy properly bo Haid in have coma amongst ua und with ihe advent of that Benson 1ms conn: the inquiry, what of tbe promises of tbe winter and thu spriug, whose fullil meut llu> public was lold would come in the summer. The inquiry is a justifiable one. lit) wlio looks about with an inlol ligonl eye, who is able to judge rightly of the ellorta being put forth by town and land companies, und who thoroughly appreciates and di gesla the news regarding industrial progress which tills tho press of tue Stato can arrive at but one conclu? sion mill that is that tho promises made six, ton, twelve months ago uro being fulilllotl in u imiunor which far exceeds oxpectal ion. In the first place it has not been plain sailing from the inception of the plans that aroused our hopes. We have but just put bcniiid uh a winter of unusual severity which de? layed active work in tho open. More over, and of fur greater importance, we are only now running out of a financial storm center, which has fill? ed our hearts with fear for many weary mouths. The waters arc by no moans calm yet, but clearing skies betoken tho near approach of a time when not hing but an Itctivo trade will rulllu into healthy motion tho the ocean of finance. That during 8iic.li times there should havo boon . practically no cessation in Operations in tho State, and thut obligatious of tho most varied and oomplox sort should havo been mot with great promptness, declares to tho world that tho building up of the Stato that is now goiutf on is not on Band. Again, there in not. only a prompt, meeting of obligations incurred in tho past, hut there is no hesitation to enter upon new ventures. This proves conclusively that it was not merely an anxiety to make tho best j of a bad bargain that induced invest ors to make good their subscript ions, but a firm belief that investing in Virginia possibilities was rually n good thing. While Una desire lo invest and re? invest i? very noteworthy, there iti a danger which although already ad? verted to before, may not inappro? priately be touched upon here again. There is no doubt that there are abundant good investments in the State, but the investments will bo just as good, and even much better, several months hence, when indus? tries and plants, now about, to begin active operations, have been turning out work, earning money, and giving work to others. Wailing awhile wi.l give tho capital now largely tied up in now enterprises an Opportunity to not only make the latter successful, but will in part, release it. The suc? cess attained insures confidence, and the delayed investments will bo more immediately profitable by the up building of communities which the successful operation of new plants j will havo brought about. When, therefore, the inquiry is made, "Arc promises being fulfilled?'' there is but tho answer, "Yes." A DISTINGUISHED JUDGE SAYS: Austin, Texas, Jan. 20, 1S87. Mr. A.

Tho New York Herald in of the opinion that although statistics uro said to bo dull and stupid, when you lake nn inventory of your property uud find that you are worth just three times as much as you wore ten years ago then liguros becomo more fascinating than poetry and more thrilling than oratory. Tho South will back us up in theso statements, tho Herald goes ou. When it pulled itself together after the war it found that it had nothing but bankruptcy and pluck as capital in trade, its motto was, uTho past is nowhere; the future is everywhere,"' I and it drew its belt one hole tighter and started in the race. The statistics which represent its progress are as exhilarating und cheering as old wine. Its coal out? put twenty years ago was about two million tons, now it is nearly eigh teen nvilliou tons. In ISMO it was thought it was rushing nlong at a breakneck speed because it bad erect? ed mills on its streams and inaiiufae tlircil 100,00t) bales and made con tracts for more mills. Before tho war tho sleepy negro lay in tho nun on top of iron mines whose value was only suspected. Ag riculturo absorbed tho people's atten? tion and they let the negro sleep on. Now the mines are worked, tho bon? anza has been uncovered, dreams of wealth have become an inspiration; the roar of the forgo, tho hum of machinery tiro hoard everywhere, and old Pennsylvania is beginning to tremble in her boots as she surveys her vigorous and daring rival. Tho South has relied up its sleeves and proposes to bo rich again?rich or than ever. It has all the natural resources which attract capital and enterprise. Young men from tho North on the lookout for a career are making investments there, help? ing to develop the country, and they always receive u warm welcome. Tho lides of population, kept apart so long, aro mingling their waters, and unless tho politicians raise a row thoro won't' bo any .North or South twenty years from now, and in their stead wo shall have a united, con? tented nnd prosperous country. Therefore, hung the politicians and let the good work go ou.?Chatta? nooga News. When Bnby was sick, we gave hor Caatorln. When she was a Child, sho cried for Castoria.
