The Plain Truth

Fayetteville is favorable local
ity for manufactures Of various
kids. IF some will not venture
their means in this way, Others
will; and it follows thence that those
who do so ahead, and bave a proper
view of things, Will reap tho reward
Of their energy, enterprise, and
foresight. Let the old iogies lag
behind waggiug their heads omi.
nously and clutehiDg their dimes;
men Of energy will dash past them
and make their dollars. We have
some such among us--would that
we had more.
