deal of wisdom into the followi^ar-
ticle:
Why don’t you write up the town,
puff, blow, Ac., and get up a “boom?”
While we claim to have done a fair
share in this direction, yet for the
gratification of those who seem dis-

might devote every line of our avail¬
able space to writing up the town,
and we may blow till the sound of
oar horn is heard echoing hnd re¬
echoing over mountain, bill and dale
from Maine to Mexico, and from
Alaska to Florida, bat unless our
writing and blowing be backed up
will not obtain. Wind work must be
backed by something more substan¬
tial. The editor’s say so in advoca¬
cy of that which will inure to the
general interest must be supported
by the say soa of those who would
become the beneficiaries. In other
words when the Editor pulls, the
people must push.
We state further in answer to this
question, that the .business outlook
and prosperity of a community is
not judged solely and altogether by
what is seen and read in the editori¬
al columns of its newspaper. The
business world and people abroad
look to the other departments of the
paper to see what the business men
of that community say for them¬
selves and of their business. To as-
certain the business life, the business
capacity, the business activity,
strength and enterprise of a town,
the business world looks to those
columns Of the town’s newspaper
through which its people have the
opportunity to tell the world of tbdfr
business, and through whieh the out¬
ride world has an opportunity to
arc? srus. a;
aiders look to see whether or sot the
editorial bugle’s blast is supported
by facts that give it pith and point.
If they do not find these facts ac-
enmnanvine- the blast thev inevita¬
bly conclude that that bugle has
nothing solid behind it to maintain
its noise. But if they find that
what they are engaged, then the ver¬
dict is that here is a live people who
are in the path of thrift and want
the world to know it. By this means,
and in this way, the business capaci¬
ty and enterprise of a community is
judged of by those who are strangers
to it, and not solely by what may
be, and is, said through the editorial
columns.
Yes we stand ready at all times to
advocate the town, the county, and
any and every progressive idea that
has in itself the promise of good re¬
sults to the people, individually or
collectively; nor will we be retarded in
the least in our labors, if some well
wisher to any promising enterprise

is therefore almost fifty years old,
