A gentleman remarked in the ADVOCATE
Office one day this week that if the Westmin-
ster capital invested to build up other places
had been put in industries at home the little
city would be booming now; that enough has
been spent to have started several industries
built a connection from here to the Green
Spring Valley railroad, and aided greatly in
having direct rail communication with Wash
ington and Gettysburg. There is a good deal
in these remarks. and it is hoped that here
after Westminster capital will be spent in
building up our own town. The ice factory
appears to be a success; now let the enter
prlsing citizens start some other industry
