! LOCAL ENTERPRIsE.-We have freqaently
commented heretofore upon the absence Of
|
| to arouse our business men To the absolute i'm
| pOrtance and necessity of doing for ourselves
what others are doing for us i'm the way Of the
production Of supplies, which go to make up
| the necessities well as the comforts and luNu-
ries OF life. Even in regard to articles Of co m
mon daily use. and for which there is a steady
| demand in our community, we are entirely de-
I pendent on other localities for the supply of
our wants, thus depicting ourselves daily and
hourly OF capital, which, upon every considera-
| tion OF justice and economy, might have been
| and certainly should he retained here. We
shall rejoice at the day when this is no longer
| the care, and when there shall be on every side
| and in every direction in our midst, well regu-
| lated manufacturing establishments OF all
| kinds, having capacity not only to supply in
| these respects the wants of our own large and
rapidly increasing population, but also those of
| the extensive regions OF country lying west
south, and southwest OF us, over the increased
| railroad communications now being SO rapidly
| formed IN the directions named. We are moved
to make these remarks by the publication in
| our columns this morning Of the advertisement
| of the Washington Vinegar Works, under the
| direction of Messrs Jones * Keith, gem
| tlemen of characte. and intelligence. as
| all who know them will testify They
have not asked Tor stock subscriptions in
| this case, but in the true spirit of enterprise
| have embarked their individual means in the
work, trusting to the nnited support or our
| people to sustain them, and this we hope they
