DAVIESS COUNTY, MISSOURI.
By J. H. Rogers
Since first calling the attention of our brethren to this part of the State, I have received numerous inquiries and letters respecting the same. Some of them I tried to answer through the REVIEW. To those who still are inquiring, I would say, The natural advantages of our county are good, so that persons of small capital and moderate economy can live comfortably. Prices of land vary from five to twenty-five dollars per acre, owing to location and improvements. The country is filling up fast with Eastern and Northern men of enterprise and industry. Should any more brethren choose to come, let them come prepared not only to be recognized as Sabbath-keepers, in union with the body, but to be real burden-bearers, who can be a help instead of a hindrance to the cause of present truth; for we have been deceived in some. Let those who ramble about from place to place, without aim or object, understand they are not needed, nor encouraged to come. Such as can better their condition, with the cause of the message at heart, we welcome, we say, “Come over and help us.”
