gone to work, in eral earnest. While
confident of ultimate victory in the
matter we are leaving no effort un-
spared to let the state at large know
that no better harbor exists than the
one we have here. Every citizen can
help in this matter by mention in his
correspondence of not only the neces-
sity for such development. on the
part of the state, but also that its To-
cation should be such as to render the
greatest good to the greatest number.
We have steadfastly refused to lie
that no project appears too big for
us to tackle. We have gone on the
adage, Nothing tentured, nothing
gained and following that, we prob.
ably made some fanciful and absurd
requests of railroads, large corpora
tions, and national figures In the in
dustrial life of America. The least we
can receive is refusal, qualified with
a promise of results for us if things
break right.
We HAYES teadfastly refused to lie
down on our backs and whine when
seeming friends have double-crossed

or spooky, she gives up trying and

Kingdom" The same argument ap-
pies to cities. Brunswick has had ev-

past, we have been content to take
going otter the whole loaf, and believe
the crumbs. Thank God, We are now
we will get it II
Too much credit cannot be given to
the faithful ones OF Brunswick who
have fought during all these years
past to hond the ground. Raw deals
have been handed them Shortsight-
ed citizens have gummed up their
plans for personal ends, seeking to-
make a few paltry dollars. The pub,
lie purse is now considered more i'm
portant than the private, and may the
day soon come when every citizen
shall be satisfied to grow as, and
when. his city grows and prospers,
and not endeavor, to. keep il down to al

Provincialism is a blessing to
favored few; metropolitanism, with

greater good for larger number.
