LOCAL EVENTS CUT UP.
There is always a continual cry after
some improvement in diversified industry,
and particularly is this the case now that
the Packerton shops seems to have reached
their particular limit; with excellent
shipping facilities and expansive territory
for building purposes no town presents
better features for manufacturing pur-
poses, and yet they are not taken adYan-
tage of on account of the slow motion and
fossil actions of the men who unfortunately
have the money. OF course there are a
few live, progressive men, but with failure
attending every effort it would be no
wonder to see them grow disgusted and
sink into innocuous desutuede. Will our
people never understand that to move for
ward we must be up an doing continu
ally?
