The Commercial Standing of a Town

In a great measure the CONNER
cial standing of. town is reckoned
according to the number and value
of its business enterprises; its mora.
standing according to the number
and power of it's institutions, eE-
erting good influence as oppos ed
20 those exerting bad. These
things being true, it should be the
intent of the citizens of Orangeburs
to encourage such new enterprises
as tend in any way to make thu
place better; for town is greatly
what it's citizens make it, nothing
more and nothing less.
