Nrarvellous CROWN.

When one Of the most successful busi-
ness men Of the country, / mean Abram
Hewitt ex-member Of Congress and ex-
mayor Of New York City, stated in a
public speech, and afterward reaffirmed
that there was every reason to believe
that in one hundred years Chattanooga,
Tenn, would be as large as New York
now is, he seemed to have thrown the
reins to his fancy. But little reflection
on the facts will show that Mr.. Hewitt S
sagacity was as trustworthy in this as in
other predictions. Commercially, Chatta.
nooga is not over twenty years old vet
she has more than fifty thousand people.
New York had not reached this number
in three times twenty years Of its exist
ence. Indeed as late as 1920, New York
had but about 100, 900 inhabitants. But
to fulfil Mr.. Hewitts expectations,
Chattanooga need not increase in the
same ratio as New York. In truth that
gentleman's meaning, as we understand
it, was that there is great and pros
porous future for Chattanooga; that the
conditions which make such centres OF
population as New York, are all about
Chattanooga and that the place will grow
for many years, more and more rapidly
with the development of the richly en-
dowed regions contiguous to it:-regions
extensive and valuable enough to ensure
at least a century of growth to the city
to which they are contributOry.
