plant. That's the way they do
things around Quitman-Quitman

And that's the way public on
terprlses should be engineered
everywhere. The city, town or
village that is not ambitious to
become a great commercial or in-
dustrial center does not exist.
They all have dreams of future
greatness, but too few are animat-
ed by that spirit of unconquerable
enterprise and determination to
'pull together" that is the pre-
exquisite to growth and advance
ment of any community. When
a town needs a certain industrial
or other enterprise, her citizens
should get together, stay together
and pull together until the desired
end is accomplished. Prolonged
community discussion of "what
we need" or "chance to attract
foreign capital" is seldom produc-
tive of results. The town or city
upon which the unmistakable
stamp of prosperity appears is the
and whose motto is to edo for it.

right to expect others to do for
