/ Emporia is one OF the busiest and
most progressive towns in the State.
The Emporia Independent knows how
the town became such. and for the
Jack OF public spirit than any other
kind. it says:
More towns die for want OF conf
dence on the part of business men and
benefit OF other burgs OF the ambitious
cause. When a man in search Of
home or a business location goes into
town and finds everything biimful
Of hope and enthusiasm of the pros
poets of the place. and all earnestly
at work u build 1t up. he soon be-
comes imbued with the same spirit,
and as result he drives down stakes
and goes TO work with the same in
terest. When, however. he goes 20 a
town where every one expresses DOUBT
and apprehension for the future pros
perity OF the place. moping about and
.ndulging In mournful complaints, he
naturally feels that IL IS no place foi
him, and he at once shakes the dust
of his feet while he pals out with al
possible speed for some other place
Consequently try and make a live, en-
/ ;erprising town out OF the town In
which you live. When you are work

whole column of figures IN the 1ol-
lowing breezy paragraph:
"Gaugine the wealth of q State by
the deposits in the national banks. Viz
xinia ranks third of all the Southern
states, Texas and Missouri alone nav
ing deposits in excess of those In VIZ
ginfa. In round numbers. Texas has
two hundred and twenty-three miIiicsis
in deposits; Missouri, one huncred anu
forty-seven millions. and virginia
ninety millions. When we cohsiuei
that each of these states mas gredte-
nopuIation and greater territory we
nav conclude that Virginia, ir pro-
nortion to population and territory Is
