Speaking of public spirit, those citi-
zens ho contribute Of their means in
reasonable measure to all movements
intended for the advancement of the
community and for increasing the COM

probation of the public, and have it as

large as a grape fruit and perfect.

produced in this superb climate and
soil OF our section.
There is no doubt that the eyes OF the
Industrial and financial world are on
the South. For years capital has been
be aterIinvestments Of foreign capt.
tai in, the South in the next ten years
than ever before. But while this is be-
ing done, the Southern should people
bsstir. themselves in the matter of de-
veloping their vast resources. By this
plan millions of dollars which are now
going North in the shape of dividends
and profits would be kept at home.
The outlook for the South was never SO
bright as now. Goldsboro should get
together and get busy.
