What Makes Cities Grow
Richmond Times.)


The fredericksburg FREE LANCE says:
Referring to the progressiveness ofcities
the esteemed Richmond Times says:
Natural location ism t in it with enter
prise" The Times does not mean to un-
derate natural advantages but TO en-
phasize the fact that push and enterprise
are necessary to the development OF a
city whetherit has natural advantages
or not, and that city possessing men OF
push and enterprise will develop faster
without natural advantages than will a
city of such advantages whose people are
sluggish, and antiquated in their ideas.
And in this sense we fully concur with our
contemporary. Nature may bless a To-
cality much. but it lies with the citizens
OF such community to take advantage
of natures work and push it to full
utility
Our contemporary has well expressed
the views of The Times on this subject.
The greatest asset that any community
has il its people. Natural advantage
counts for something. but live enterpris-
ing and intelligent citizens will succeed
and build up their town or city in spite OF
any disadvantage Of location, whereas
an indolent, shiftless population will not
succeed anywhere.
This is also true of individuals. We do
not deny that there is something in
opportunity. But the man who has the
true stuff in him will defy chance and
make an opportunity for himself and
improve il and succeed in spite of what
we frequently call the frowns OF for
tune. The Lord Jesus Christ said time
and again to his disciples, "rhe King
dom of God is within you" Applying
this to the affairs of everyday life we
say that the fortune of town oracity Is
within that town or city, that IL
TO say, in the brain and Drawn Of its
people.
See what Galveston has done. \ little
while ago the city was almost COM
pletely destroyed by storm, yet in little
more than year the city has been re-
built. and recent industrial issue of the
Galveston News makes the following re-
port of what has been done in the line OF
rehabilitation:

For Tiger

No use to hunt tigers with
bird-shot. 1t doesn't hurt the
tiger any and it's awfully risky
for you.
Consumption is a tiger
among diseases. 1t is stealthy
but once started it rapidly
eats up the flesh and destroys
the life. No use to gohunting
it with ordinary food and med
icine. That's only bird-shot.
1t still advances. Good heavy
charges Of SCOTS Emulsion
will stop the advance. The
disease feels that.
SCOTS Emulsion makes the
body strong to resist. 1t
soothes and toughens the lungs
and sustains the strength until
the disease wears itself out.

Snake Story BY Mr.. HaineS.

There seems, from the information
afforded us in a number of instances,
to be no doubt of the prolific breeding
characteristics of snakes. Following
recent statements we have 1t from
Mr.. Minor Byington that he. about
four years ago, killed a moccasl1
snake with forty young ones; and
from Mr.. F. n. Moler that a few years
ago he crossed an old CARTE, ; snake e
which from its size, after he had killed
it, he was sure had either several toads
or a rabbit under its skin. On open
ing it, however, he found instead % one
hundred and fourteen young. This
seems immense, but Mr.. Moler is one
of our best and most reliable citizens,
and those who know him will have no
doubt of the credibility of his state
ment.-CharleS Toa0n SPIRIT.
