Country Town Is country's.

From the Southern Agricnifurisf.1
The country town is part OF the
country. 1t is one of the encouraging
signs Of the times that country town
business men are coming to realize this
fact. 1t has not been so long since
every little town thought that its bust
ness was to grow into city just as
soon as possible. Some towns and many
town people still think SO. Many small
town people. too, still think that their
chief relations and interests are with
the cities rather than the country. The
most farseeing business men have come
to knew better. They are seeing more
and more clearly that the town. the
small city. is I'm integral part OF the
country, that it prospers only as the
country prospers, and that it has its
place in the scheme Of things to he the
life center Of the country about it. The
