They may not have realized that they have madg or saved this money, but it is nevertheless true.

Where was she, where did she stand, before the Northeast road was built? I grant in her capital water power, former localized agri cultural resoure.s, in her snbsta tial cotton, wonlen and other manufacture ing interests; acknowledged school advantages and remarkably intelli gent, refined society she had reason able prospects ;in time, in years of growing (but it would have been very gradual), into something of a city. Now, as I see In r future, it Mill only take two or three years of her present rapidly increasing pros- Jierity, a more extended knowledge of her natural and acquired commer cial advantages lo place lnwalongside of cities now largely outs zing her in population, amount of busiae.-s trans acted, value of her corner lots, and increasing demand for more and larger store and warehouses This marvelous work of a year has aroused a half, yes threc-fourilisdead people, in a business point of view, into a startling new life, and to run nln ost wild with new and hr'ght hopes. They are imbued with the spirit of progress. They are deter mined to do. “ Where there’s a will there’s a way,” and therefore I see f<>r them the “ good time coming.” They have become ambitious. They are net satisfied with a portion ofthe trade and products of Elbort, Wilkes, Oglethorpe, Green, Morgan. Oconee, Walton, While, Towns, Union and other counties, but they want it all. They say they will—quietly. I will throw in just here, in parenthesis, that the live merchants of Atlanta trill tanks that questionable. More, as I see the situation, it would lie the part of wisdom of the citizens of Augusta to make the en deavor to utilize in part, if not wholly, the energy of the Athens people and their own future prosperity It has, I grant, a great deal of wealth, an almost unlimited credit, a grand 14,« 000 water ( ower, elegant and thrifty factories, utilizing probably 2.500 or 3,000 souls, and the centralization of capital and brains on the subject of putting in operation other manufac turing establishments, which is pleas ant to contemplate; but we ask, with all due respect, if it is the part of wisdom to altogether depend upon ext> usive manufacturing interests alone to make or keep the city grow ing? A large, favorable general inaikct will certainly make it still greater. The people of Athens have grand schemes on the tapis to carry 1 30a 3 00 1 50a 4 0C 1 50*10 00 HARDWARE.
