country town. The inhabitants live al
most entirely upon the tributary coun-
try. There are no factories. The
money that the farmers of the county
spend for food, clothing, fuel and the
comforts of the farm home is the cash
capital upon which the town does its
business. This capital is passed from
the grocers to the clothing merchants.
to the druggists. to the furniture deal
ers. to the hardware sellers and to pro-
fessional men. In the older communi-
ties Of the eastern and middle states
necessity has developed factories.
