At various times we have had the !
question propounded to us-Why don't
you boom the town. Get up something
TO draw the attention of capitalists and
manufacturers, We plead guilty to the
charge OF having done 30 in 1879 and
1851, and without receiving one cent
from the people of the town or county
toward assisting the cause, not even
liberal patronage of advertising. At
that time We did not own one dollars
worth OF real estate ard did not expect
to receive any direct benefit from tho
profit in real estate, but desired TO see
our many and varied resources utilized.
Since 1883 The property holders of Iuka
have given money to various charlatan
humbIgs 70 write up the town, but in
stead of writing up the resources Of the
town they done up their resources re
ceived, put 1t in their pockets, shaking
the dust Ut the town from their shoes.
It takes money to boom town and if
the property holders want to sell their
property they must help to advertise it.
| They must advertise their business, offer
Inducements, see that strangers who
come here to locate are no. driven off
by high prices. 70 make a success of
any project there must pe some kind of
| an organized effort; director at the
head; advisory councils held, consult

doing and what we may DO Look

sister towns and counties; what should
they do II they had our natural adyan-

| you will see their columns full of we'll
| paying advertisements from their home
merchants, offering Inducements to
purchasers to come and purchase their
wares. Their lands are no better than
ours, their purchasers no wealthier than
here, but those who should be dealing
here are induced by more liberal offers
to trade at other points. Are the bust
ness men of Iuka going to sit still and
J let others reap the harvest that thew
might get by showing more liberalitye
WHAT'S the matter with
that silver dollar? It's all
right, for you can now use it
in paying for the New Or
