Agriculture is the foundation of
manufactures, since thcjproductions of
nature are the materials of art. The
diligent mechanic and skilled artist
who have obtained no share in the di
vision of Ahe earth, recievc a voluntary
tax from the possessors of the land and
the latter are prompted by a sense of
interest to improve those estates, with
whose produce they may purchase addi
tional pleasures—all of which tend to
prove there must be a polarity of inter
est between the town and country.
, Whatever is analogous in this in-
I stance, must be equally so between the
i town and city. Hence town, city and
j country, whose common destiny is the

way to the mart, and the mart the pro

It is a maxim of ecclesiastical Juris
prudence that each one must work out
his own salvation, and is applicable to
communities as individuals, in a
worldly sense. How well the territory
around Rome has done is but to visit
Rome’s thriving domain, the epitome
of which is her financial institutions,
impossing structures, and octoradiat
ing railways and steamboat lines, and
North Georgia has materially contri
buted to this prosperity, and in return
has felt the throb of commercial activ
ity and rejuvenated farming interests.
Augustus was accustomed to boast
that he “found his capitol of brick and
left it of marble,” but the North Geor
gian returning from Appomattox
found his oligarchy destroyed and in
utter ruins, and with Spartan energy
heroically turned his blade into plow
shaves,-trailed morning glories up his
gun barrel, and set about to fetch or
der out of chaos.
With no aid but sullen and discon
tented labor of former slaves, he dug
mines, opened ore beds, dressed the
lumber of our yet virgin forrests,
erected cotton mills, dropped grain in
the erstwhile deserted furrows, planted
peace and prosperity on every hillside,
built homes without one ignoble preju
dice ar memory that caught the sun
shine of peace in the mortar, and today
is more prosperous then ever and
more thoroughly independent.
North Georgia’s revivified industries
take their spirit from Rome’s capital
pluck and push and each forms for the
other an integral part for the upbuild

bound to be the glory and admiration
of ages to come.
Though yet in its swaddling clothes
of prosperity, the outlook promises an
era that will be a dazzling and bewild

is invited, and when concient iously
done, one will need no visit to the Ora

the railroad blacksmith shops of the
