ENCOURAGE Your MECHANICS At
lanta Constitution has the following OH this
subject, which is full Of good sense, and we
commend it to our people. Our mechanics
are one of the most useful and industrious
classes of our people, and do as much, or
more, towards building our city than any
other:
"Do not send abroad for help If you have
work to do when it can be done in your own
town. Encourage your own honest, indus
trious, faithful mechanics. They need all the
work they can get. BY such a course you
keep money at home, assist the worthy, and
have just US good work performed. 1t is the
way to make your town prospcr-to support
your own schools, churches, and press.
Where there is disposition to send hun
dred miles for an article that, to say the least,
could be manufactured as we'll at your own
door, there will always be little or no bust
ness done in that place. The churches will
be thinly attended and all kinds of labor en-
trcmely dull. Wherever mechanics are the
best employed, prosperity is seen, the social
virtues predominant, and kindly, brothcrly
feeling is experienced, which is the source
of unspeakable happiness.
Whatever you have to be done, look
around aud see if your mechanics cannot
do it. If you have 4 house to build, or n
shoe to tap, or saddle to DC made, tinwarc
to mend, house to paint. or pack OF cards
to print, just look among your home-folks
before you send abroad, and if there is none
in your town capable of doing the task it
will lie time enough to look elsewhere. 1t
il wrong idea to think nothing is service
able that Is made at home. We know OF
many an instance where men have refused
to purchase work made By their neighbor, and
sent to distant city for the articles which
they needed, and paid third more for them,
when, behold. they have been manufactured
and sent away to sell by the same neishhors
of whom they refused to purchase.
LET the motto Of all be. will encourage
my own mechanics. In turn you will be
encouraged also. A mutual feeling of good
will and kindness will spring up in our
midst, and prosperity will lie observable in
every street aid in every dwelling"
