GOOD ADVICE
FOR ALL SECTIONS
Thinks it is Time to Start
Enterprises to Give
Employment.
A lady remarked to the Herald
man the other day that she wished
some one would come to Spring
field and start up something to
give people employment. It would
be the proper thing to make our
little city grow, but why can’t
we people of Springfield start
something? If we haven’t confi
dence enough in our own town to
invest in enterprises for it we
certainly can’t expect people on
the outside to come and make the
break. We must make a start
first, then invite outsiders to
come in and join us, but unless
we do this it will be some time
before the start is made. We
need organization in Springfield
worse than anything else right
now. The people must get togeth
er and be as one man for devel
opment, and when this condition
exists we will soon see enterpris
es come here.
Springfield was once on a big
boom, grew rapidly for a time,
but the gas all gave out of the
boom and it settled down to actu
al reality. The city has not real
ly gone backward, but for a few
years it has been at a standstill.
We must wake up—start some
thing as it were—and the best
way to get started is to first get
organized and have co-operation.
We must clean our little hive of
drones and make every man a
worker, and right now at the
beginning of the year 1916 is the
time to make a resolution to work
for Springfield or hunt a new
home.—Springfield Herald.
Orange Trees Covered
With Mantle of Snow.
Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 31.
Dawn today revealed at many
points in the Southern California
citrus fruit district the remarka
ble spectacle of orange trees cov
ered with a mantle of snow. It
was a scene which had not been
witnessed in years, but tempera
tures did not range below 32 de
grees and the orange crops suf
fered no damage. Snow fell in
Hollywood, a suburb of Los An
geles. Snow also fell in San
Barnardino, Riverside, Altadena,
Rialto, Bloomington and other
places in the heart of the citrus
region, but melted rapidly. Rain
was falling before noon through
out the region.
Effingham Farmers
Plan for Developments.
Guyton, Ga., Dec. 31. —Effing
ham farmers are going in for
fruit and grain crops next year
and many of them are planning
to get away from the one-crop
cotton. The pecan industry in
this county is also growing by
leaps and bounds. Many of the
farmers are now buying seedlings
and planting large orchards. A
prominent planter, who has a
large plantation a few miles from
Guyton, is going to plant twelve
acres in peach trees- half in El
bertas and the other half in the
famous Georgia Belle variety.
S. H. Morgan, who has a large
farm near Pineora, plans to have
a dairy farm in connection with
other agricultural interests. He
is now conrstructing a large silo
for the purpose of saving ensilage
for his stock.
Has Interesting Map.
Brunswick, Ga., Dec. 31. —
Among the many early maps
that New’ Yorkers and others call
to see is one hanging in a hand
some frame in the office of Dr.
W. B. Burroughs. It is the
“Duke’s Plan” of the map of
“Longe Island,” containing a
description of the town of Mann
ades or New Amsterdam, made
in September, 1661, Anno Domini.
This is a certified copy taken from
the King’s library and shows the
“long wall” from w’hich Wall
street received its name.
