How to Build Up a Town, A contributor to an exchange tells in the following paragraphs how to build up a town : .“Join no organization looking to* the upbuilding of the town. This will prove an encouragement to those who spend their time and money u to sustain such orgauiza tions. Impugn the motives of those who join and always charge them with a desire to advertise them¬ selves. This inspires patriotic men to work all the harder for the public good. Pour cold water on every new enterprise, predict its early fail¬ ure, and contribute to that end by patr mining its rivals in other towns. This will encourage oth ers to put their money in home enterprises. V\ hen strangers visit your town let them wander around loose and enlighten themselves byread snd pumping ‘ (he pro , oafet They will carry away a delightful remembrance of their visit and advertise the town wherever they go. ‘Cuss out’ your public officials (behind their backs, of course,) an d then accuse them of every thing from larceny to high treas on> li0 matter whether you can substantiate your charges or not. This wiii prove an incentive to a complete fulfillment of their of¬ ficial obligations. Be sure'to buy all the goods you cau from.a traveling man who lives oir of your town even though you got them at the same price from one as from the other. It matters not if the home man spends his money m your town, taxes, and possibly has an ace 'Uu, t, with you every month, 1 Li- of course will encourage a great many traveling men to move to your town and aid you i n the above matters. ,. lien your town paper differs ------- ^ riiightf , st with your ideas ^ ^ public policy, declare that it has been bought up and prompt¬ ly cut off your patronage, The edito* will turn the other cheek and redouble his efforts in behalf of the town and the ‘goal people.’ Observe these rules closely and there can be no question about the growth of the town. It will grow and continue to grow—up into weeds—until it shall ulti¬ mately become a fit habitation alone for bats and owls.” “A syndicate has bought the old Baker mill property, near this place, on Yellow River and have a large force of hands build¬ ing and moving obstructions. Thev propose to put in a paper mill as soon as they can get the buildings erected and perhaps a cotton mill later on They will also run the old corn mill for the convenience of the people bevond the river. The Ordinary has been petitioned to build a bridge and open a public road from this place to tho T/'gansville road near Pleasant Hill church. Such a road will open up a large scope of country that heretofore has been difficult to get to and we hope that our Ordinary will have it put through at once, Mr. Wal ter Almand, of Conyers, is gen¬ eral manager of this new company. We welcome him and his compa¬ ny into our community and wish both much success.'’—Rock Chap¬ el cor, Dekalb New Era. The above is true only in pait. We gather from Mr. Almand that a pulp mill and handle factory will be put in and operated at the point on the river designated by this correspondent, Other industries mav be established there later on.
