HOW TO BOOM A TOWN.

The Atlanta C0HSf1fHff0H gives SoHie
wise and timely advice as to how best
to promote the growth and prosperity
of towns. And it is we'll qualified to
speak Oh the subject. The people OF
Atlanta know full we'll the value OF
advertising their city. They have
never lost an opportunity to talk up
its advantages and to hold out every
inducement to secure population and
increase its manufacturing and COM
mercial interests. And Atlanta has
grown and prospered while many other
cities with advantages equally as
favorable and possibilities no less
great, have either fallen back or made
very little advancement.
With her superior location and great
natural advantages, Henderson should
attract the attention of capitalists and
start off on the high road prosperity.
Let her public spirited men rise to the
suggestion and make it practical. Let
us advertise our advantages and stop
the tide of immigration that is flowing
past us and fix its bounds in our midst.
Information and a visit of inspection
is all that is needed to direct capital
lists to our town. The Constitution
says:
The growing towns of Georgia are
doing now what they should have
done long ago-telling the world
about it. The way to increase the
prosperity of town is to advertise it ;
a liberal investment in this way is sure
to bring large returns in business and
population, and the people are begin
ming to realize this, and are working
on the right lines. Thus we see we'll
displayed advertisements in influential
newspapers and trade journals setting
forth the advantages of Georgia towns
in the journals of the North as well
as those of the Southland great bene-
fit has resulted and will result from
them. A town cannot be prosperous
if the people are content to fold their
hands and wait for the outside world
to come their way and take hold of
and build up their enterprises; they
must first go to work themselves and
let the world know that they are
working Then it will come to their
rescue and give them a lift in their
labor for the upbuilding and develop
ing of their section.
