Stay in Indiana

We have been asked the question, whether we would advise the citizens of our State to go South and settle? We answer that we do not advise any farmer who has a good home in Indiana to pull up stakes and go any where simply to make money. Indiana has many advantages in the way of soil, churches, schools, etc., which should he well considered before making a change. A person desirous of changing location on account of health, we ikink would do- better in some of the Southern States than to go into the far West and suffer from the piercing cold winds which sweep over the prairies, or depend ufWm raising crops in a country where everything is destroyed every few* years by drought or grasshoppers. • W*e believe a person who has a few thousand dollars to inVest in a liouie better! go South than into the Territories west. We advise all persons before changing their location to weigh well the subject before taking any steps. There are advantages and serious disadvantages to be con side red, Indiana is a good State, one of the best in the Union all things considered, and this fact should not be overlooked by those, who -contemplate moving away.—' Wlnatna c Jjcmoerat.
