There will also be trade going into those com munities from Clinton, for trade is not a N one-sided proposition. It takes two to make a trade. Both ought to 'oe benefitted. All of these communi ties should be prospered by their touch with Clinton, and Clinton should be immensely prospered. What is Clin ton going to do with*this new and huge opportunity ? In the first place, every possible courtesy should be ex tended to the communities with which we are now to be closely in touch. They should be made acquainted with the advantages which they will derive from close touch with Clinton. We have a splendid hospital, an able sur geon, and many capable physicians who will be brought in close.touch with smaller communities around Clinton by these highways. There is the superb college, a splendid graded school system, topped off with a high school, ably manned and managed. | There is a good market here for! I country produce,* but a big market also in the country and smaller com munities f<Jr Clinton goods. Every 1 merchant should make his business known. All of Ihe institutions of Clinton should make their facilities known fully and continuously to the people along these routes. Otherwise, there will be a lack of acquaintance even though there is now no impedi ment to closer business relations. This means that the Clinton community is extended by many miles in four dif ferent directions; that the real Clin ton population is enlarged by thous ands; that the volume of Clinton business wl)ich will result will be im mensely bigger—at least $1,000,000 a year bigger than heretofore. This means more deposits in the banks, I larger bank clearings, bigger freight] receipts, greater business for tele phone and telegraph companies, a de- I velopment of our educational inter- , ests, hospital patronage, medical and ; dental practice, and an immense in- ] crease in the volume of mercantile ] business. All of this is ready to the hands of the Clinton citizen if he will go after it in the proper manner, with courtesy, cordiality, a big welcome to all of our new neighbors, and a fair Ideal and/a square deal on any and all occasions, with plenty of publicity tell- • ing the story of Clinton’s friendliness and interest in the surrounding coun try, and in the smaller communities which will be allied with it. Clinton has given fine leadership to this region and its leadership is ap preciated by the country people and by the people of the smaller towns. The effort to get these highways is highly approved in all the communi ties reached, and highly appreciated. This appreciation will ; be reflected in j a kindly spirit of the country and small towns people to the people of the larger town, and it is quite cer tain that the people of Clinton have the kindliest of interest in the people of the country and of the people in the small towns with which they are to be in touch. Clinton is to be congratulated upon the new era which is dawning for the rural regions and the small communi ties surrounding Clinton, as well as for Clinton itself. Clinton should make the most of her opportunities now that they are here. The blessingg thife to be enjoyed by us should make us the more enthu siastic for county-wide good roads in order that every part of the county shall be equally as well cared for ac cording to its needs.
