The present condition Of Union
City shows that great many OF the
citizens take a pride in the city's APP
pearance. Some few things we might
mention make the statement a fact:
The sewer system, White Way, our fine
church buildings, saying nothing OF
other matters.
Now that there seems to be an in
creased interest connected with the Bus
mess Mems Club, it would be a good
idea to enlighten and enthuse our minds
relative to what might be accomplished
by this enterprising organization.
The trouble about boosting things
that would push Union City to 10000
or $4,000 population is like the public
road question-about the time some
thing would be done you hear no more
about the matter until the roads get
almost impossible again, and then the
howl will come forward again. The
nature or connection of industries that
would give life to the city are talked
about great deal and debated at meet
ings OF the Business Mems Club and
then it is forgotten. 1t takes a consid-
cradle effort, system and little money
to do anything. 1t is the men of energy
and enterprise who make city.
There is not man living'in the cor
porate limits of Union City, or one liv-
ing near its bounds, but who would
receive his pro rata part Of the adj
vantage of an outlay of effort or money
to give the city business move of pub
lie work of some nature. Everyone
should be able to see beyond the con-
fines OF his own door. He who helps
to advance the interest of his own town
or community would be only helping
his own private interest. We must as
sist others in order to help ourselves.
United we stand, divided we fall. +"
Any business enterprise can be brought
about through the cooperation plan.
If the city could not raise funds from
a few individuals to start manufactur-
ing concerns, then take the cooperative
plan. Quit so much talk and do some
thing. Don't take into the treasury of
the public fund several hundred dollars
a year and about all that is derived from
same is air castles, and the first thing
you know the money is all absorbed and
nothing whatever accomplished.
The beautiful little park, situated be-
tween the business portion of the city
and the railroad, with just little more
would be pride to the citizen
ship and great advertisement for the
city's resources. The transient public
would be influenced by its appearance
to locate here.
Like a gentleman said the other day
in the good roads meeting. When asked
by Esq. Sam Bratton what his district
thought of the good roads movement,
be remarked: He was in favor of hav-
ing good roads but was not in favor of
a bond ISSUE" Like we could have
good roads without costing something.
This applies to anything else.
Union City is the coming city of this
section, and with the proper effort, en-
ergy, public spirit and money, she would
come forth as May morning rose,
sweet with fragrance and vigorous in
1er powerful and onward march of
prosperity, and new life would gather
n and around her borders that would
make queen blush with shame. Hur-
.ah for Union City, the future town of
his section. Pull or push.
