ere. unless there tuw social or business
ties to unite them
There we things, however, which
have a eommoii interest for all com
luunitiea. The history of one place is
at times fruitful in lessons to others,
and Waynesboro is a striking ilhmtra
tion. A few years ago it was ail limn
ble village with a few scattered stores
and dwellings. To-day it is |iro«|«*i'
ous and pr gressive. filled willi liniid
aome residences anil blocks of brick
stores. a. Several * causes . ___ may Have . con
spired to effect this result, inern i.
one fact, however, which nil sdmit.
This magical change is due m the
main to the energy and cut er prise of
on* man. This man is Hon. Win. A.
Wilkins, atone time a leading lawyer
of this circuit. He gave up the practice
ntid settled hero, embarking in inercan
tile pursuits. A groat file swept over
the place and lafi a mass of rums, Uis
energies were then bent to the w ,rk of
building it up, and the blacUmsI
waste grew into a Iiri dsouie town.
His own store occupies a largo block
Hint is divided into several sections
where different kinds of inereliamlise

ness nf tin* place may bo gained from
the statement that 1 1,00(1 hales of cot¬
ton were received lit re during Hit* last
aeuROit.
As 1 have said other causes limy
have .... led to Its prttspenty, .. and , other .. .
men of energy and business ability tnay
have aided In building It up, hut it is
none the lees true that one man was the
I'iokkkr or ire pkookiss.
Its career is a striking illustration of
the influence for good which olio man
can exercise upon a community. iSucli
men not only enrich themselves, but
confer a last nig Patient upon those
around them. It will be a lucky day
for Crawfoidvtlle when she can boast

some vestige of its former prosjierity.
It la not to tat denied, however, that
the great body of Oiv people an* grew

their own. They are the victims of «
