Enterprise BuiIds the Town.

The truth of this proposition is almost suscepti-
bic Of a mathematical demonstration and it is SO
selfevident that it has almost become an axiom.
In gi@ncing at many of the towns in Indiana we
find the natural advantages of some far supcr
or TO others, but in many do not now find cor
respon ling superiority in their imp, vements and
all that goes to make town. One little place we
cali to mind that has great name sake, had the
best water power in the State, was at the head of
navigation of our best rivers and adj ,ccnt to
rich farming prairie and timber lands, once seemed
hundred We ahead other neighbors, but in con-
sequence Of her sole reliance upon these advanta-
ges is now dlaptaed town of utter insignifcance.
Anoshcr place we know of. finely situated for
commerce, was a formidable rival ofthc great Gar
den City Of the West, Chicago, but now contains
only few thousand inhabitants. some Of whom are
continually reproacns their gathers" for want of
enterprise.
Either of these places-ani there many such
all over the country--might have been fourishin-
cities by this time had those interested in their
prosperity adopted liberal and wise policy towards
those Who visited them, and had been energetic in
their efforts make their increase in size and
wealth.
Other places we know of that seemed destined
BY nature to remain barren wastes through all time
have been touched By the hands Of enterprisng
men, who believe "thcre is no excellence without
labor" and are now grand emporinms of trade and
ecnters OF civilization. To prove this we do not
need to point to all Of the beautiful and thriving
cities e the North West, for when the question is
asked-what made these places become citics?-
the suggested to the rejecting mind is--thc
enterprise Of their inhabitants
We are not silly enough to believe that our town
will in the coming decade contain million of souls
wrapped in mortality, but We DO believe and knor
that If her citizens are liberal and entcrprisng in
the right direction, we can within the above men
toned time. have town of no mean importance
One Of the best WAYS in the world Is to let every
body that wants to, know who we arc and what are
our surroundings If we want to grow and become
rich-using the language ofpolitical papers just be-
fore electon-it is duty to "keep il before the
people,"
Our time Is up, splcei is filed, and this arti-
Gle is ended whcn we shtll have added. that there
will be Editorial Convention in Plymouth
juno the 18th, 1859.
