"APROGRESsIVE PEOPLE.

"APROGRESSIVE PEOPLE,
The above complimentary
and deserving phrase is used by
Brother Aaron as a heading for
some notes OIL Clinton in his
paper. The Telegram. We give
below his article in full, but
beg LEI to say that he should
have said longer in our pretty
little town and seen more of it..
"The writer visited Clinton
last week and saw evidences of
improvement in every part Of
tho town, and a disposition a.
monE tho citizens to encourage
enterprise Of any durable char
aeter. Being alive to tho situs =
ton they are engaging in the
cultivation Of fruits amp vege-
table on & large scale. The
"Venssr" works Of A. F. John
son Is calculated to do a great
deal for tho town and country.
The work that he is turning out
It's superior to anything of the
kind We have ever seen and the
demand for what he makes will
be greater than his present Ca
pacity. Mr.. Johnson says he
can sell his ware cheaper than
any on the market. By keep
ing up the standard of his ware
his trade is sure to demand an
increase in the production. at no
distant day. Our wide-awake
and ente1prising friend w. A.
johnson, has two enterprises in
hand which he hopes to see
develop very soon. The only
question with him is whether
they can be made to pay, and
as soon as he becomes thoroughly
satisfied as to the success of the
venturs will take the final steps
in the enterprises. Like any
prudent business man he will |
not 20 into anything until he is
thoroughly acquainted, then
you may rest assured that he is
the man to go to his full length.
While in Clinton it was our
pleasure to call on Capt. c. Pat
rick, and In this We consider
ourself fortunate, for nothing
but the intense cold weather
kept him at home. Even the
privacy of his home is not secure
from the ubiquitous drummer.
While We were there a delega-
ton OF fertilizer salesnen called

, man as Capt. Patrick is of
antold value to any town, and
