insures to the town bright future neg
Iected and the town will live only in
name and be little more than q flag sta
ton on the railroad of progress. Our town
now has before it the opportunity of being
a place Of much Importance. Our Local

tom of all permanent growth. We. and
| by the word, We mean every citizen and

| town to grow, but, ''if wishes were horses,
&c.,-you know what wishes accomplish.

united strength. Do all we can to start

| ervthing to interest outside capital to be

lit don't pay to ADVERTISE perhaps do
not think what effect such a policy has
upon their town, to say nothing about the
injustice they do themselves by withhold

on this subject:
What would person who knew nothing
OF Reidsville think of its business were
they to Judge by the number of advertise

vile industries? They would probably
conclude, like the Winston Leader did a

ANOTHER SORT OF TRUsT.-Mr. Blaine
evidently had the newspaper trust in view
when he said during the last political cam.
paign that trusts are private affairs with
which the public has nothing to do" That
appears to be about the size of it to the
newspaper publisher at any rate. Those
whom he trusts-or very many Of them al
least-seem to have very little or nothing
to do with the trust after they have once
got it. An exchange commenting on this
subject says:
The newspaper trust is the most extern
sive and universal trust in the country,
and instead of making monopolist million
aires Of publishers it makes them anything
else. To trust thousand subscribers from
one to five years each is virtually lending
thousand dollars year to this one and
that one without security and with no pros
pect of ever getting it back. Yes, indeed
trusts are bad things.
