This community is running wild on "In.

Just imsgins, people living in dying
town complaining that they are too poor to
contribute anything towards restoring her
to life and strength, sending $4,000 an
nustiy to other towns, to give them and their
enterprises life and healthy progress
Wonderful consistency! How long will
this town stand such drain upon the vitals
Of her business system?
The last enterprise in which Union men
aud money play the mos. prominent part,
is "Thc Carolina Investment Co., Of Bristol,
Tenn" This company has been organized
in Union with the following board oi
officers, all Of them being citizens Of this
town:

her resources, will have invested $3.50.

fow years ago to establish . Cot

towns, factories and other enterprises, in

And further, don't forget that while this
great drain is going on property Of all kinds

poverty peryades all classes.
We can find $75, 900 year to build ur

find dollar to invest in any enterprise tc
build up our own lovely town and make il
prosperous And why! Simply becaus,
there is no unity Of feeling and actor
among our citizens upon any matter for tn,
public welfare. We are "a house divided
Against itself" and must, inevitably, fall.
