A SUGGESTION FROM ATLANT,

A correspondent OF the Atlanta Con-
stitution submits plan for industrial
development which has at least the merit
OF novelty. HIS proposition is that a
fund Of $4,000 be raised by subscription.
and that a number of well-known citi-
gems In whom the people have confidence
be elected By the subscribers as trustees
OF the fund. That the trustees then set
about to get site for cotton factory.

When o man begins to advertise.
It means he's full of enterprise;
He's got the bsrnacles off his back,
And shows his fellows where they lack
The old mossbacks may growl and kick
But the advertiser "gets there" quick
Providing all his wares are straight,
Reasonable in price and up-to-date.
Truth and facts must be the rule;
For tie people now You cannot fool,
Since in This age they read and think,
And follow Abe light of printers ink.
