The Richmond Palladium devoted

The Richmond Palladium devoted
much space last evening to disser-
tation of the City of Richmond as it
is today" calling attention to the
wonderful industrial development of
the Quaker City and claiming that the
citizens of that place are live, enter
prising class of people WHO are hus-
tiers from start to finish. The Rich
ynond Item of the same date contains q
lengthy editorial lament upon the lack
of enterprise on the part of citizens of
the place who are permitting some of
the most important industries of the
city to remove II more progressive
communities without making any
effort to retain them in Richmond
New Castle Press
The PALLADIUM backed its state
ment up by general showing OF
Riehmopd's business But it did not at.
tempt TO give figures. If it had it
would have startled our neighbors mp
the road. The PALLADIUM could have
shown that there are at least two
manufacturing concerns in Richmond,
either one of which did more business
the past year than WAS done by all the
manufacturing concerns IN New Castle
together. The prosperity of these two
concerns is not at all exceptional
either. Richmond does not
buy manufacturing concerns
either to bring them or keep them
here, simply because she does not
have to. All her manufacturing in
situations either grew up here or came
here without any other inducement
than our natural advantages and at
fractions. IL any leave it is because
other towns that can not get manu-
factories without buying them are
willing to paw big price for them.
There are good many eroakers.
SOM calamity howlers and a few
pessimists in this city. The PALI.A
DruM does not represent these classes.
Every city has unpleasant things that
may be raked up by gutter-snipe
methods. Seolding is common hu-
man weakness. an escape valve for dys-
peptie people. and we have our share of
IT here IN Richmond. Whatever con-
ISOLATION our nesghbors can get out of
this fact they are welcome to. But if
they want to see for themselves
whether Richmond is the sleepy old
town they have apparently been led to
believe let them pay us q visit and
take notes. We will entertain them
at modern hotel in which all the
hotels IN New Castle could rattle
round. and show them evidences of
thrift and prosperity that will open
their eyes.

Horses are nearly always gentle, and
30 1t Is not surprising to find friend
ship between them and smaller ami
mails, though once In awhile the choice
OF their companions is not q little

cat. which on the death OF the horse
