WHY LEAVE HOME

Strange to say, many Of oar young
men l"sve good homes and hands
full Of work to go away to the West
or tie South or somewhere else to
fad an easy place for noney-making.
They go away to DO harder work and
much more Of it than they have ever
done here.
If young men would work as hard
here as they are compelled 10 work
in those strange LANDS, and if they
would be as economical here rs cir
cGmstances force them to be among
strangers, they would do much bet.
ter here than away.
Many young men go away
from home and circumstances force
them to do many things which they
would not think OF doing at home,
Not that they think when they leave
they would not he willing to do any
thing hers that they would among
strangers but after getting away
flom the Id home they do not lind

wt i rl,iie the money lasts but wher
the nonay ia gone, the good time is
over. Many go away 10 choose
what they like, hut we fear they are
afterwards compelled 10 like what
they choose namely, anything they
can get /" do.

then they will do we'll here.

AMI low, despite what some may

out knowledge concerning our lOca!
interests, We feel it our d4tY rs q
journalist to call the attention OF the
town aud conmehrr to what. in Our
convictions, pertains TO the material
aud supreme good of the community.
We get at leasr six dozen excbsn-
ges every week, and in scanning their
columns We see, even between the
lines, the Truth set forth that the
towns Of the State that are do!I z
most in the way OF msterial adv vance
men;, are those towns in vhich mos
new enterprises are being pushed.
In our last issue ~e made locsl
mention uf the need OF an oil mill in
this town. We have felt much graf.
fed at the many pleasant references
some good men have made to our
hint at this need.
A gentleman of thought said to us
on yesterday that he hoped we could
succe ed In getting some one to begin
The work. We are glad to note that
our views are encouraged by favora
ole comment. IL an oil mill IS too
big thing, let's have something
~lnoiiog.
We DO not need $4,000 to begin
With. Small investments pat to
work prud, n.ls Is what we need
We need not hope or expect to be
big manufacturers all at once. l.:
some one begin the work.
