No canvass has been made, so far. Those that are on the list came! r of their own accord. Don't you think' f you should be one of the hundred? If so, phone us your name. ... r . ! Go on knocking the Chamber of! Commerce. Maybe, after a time you' t will kill it. Then you will repent of your folly and go about to raise it from the dead. It costs something: j to raise t he dead. Why not foster the i \ organization you now have? If it does not suit you, come in and make; go to your own notion. Rut one thing you should not do: You should, not knock it. certainly not. Most of those who knock the hardest never i did one thing to help it. And the other knockers paid a few paltry dol k.rs and never did another hand's turn to make the thing go. That's why it goes slowly. j ti t: ti t: count your ruessINGS. | When a frog is in a well 30 feet deep and climbs up three feet a day i 'hen falls back two feet, it will take f quite a while for him to climb out but i ho will got out after a while?if he! < does not give up. ^ J , , If a man is in debt $5,000 and pays j | on his debts $1,000 a year yet goes i into debt $500 it is easy to see tl..4t it ' will take a long time to get out. But : he will get out after a time if he ( keeps on paying. We look around this < town and say: "We have need of many 1 things here." "This town needs this or . that," and every word is tine. Prog- ' . ress is slow, very slow, to the impa I? tient. It is well sometimes to count your blessings, take stock, check up, j measure the present by the past. Sometimes a man can sight along tin mile posts left behind and see that he has made considerable advance. lie; can find comfort in his present lack of strength by remembering from; whence he came. We are thus often enabled to see that we have made! considerable pi'ogress. Thirty years ago today?just a lit-;' tie more than a quarter of a century,i there was not a foot of pavement on i sidewalk in Union. Gravel-clay was I all we had. We had no modern, con- | venient courthouse. We had, as a ! rule, very inferior church buildings | now we have many handsome church j buildings. We had one little, cramped brick school house, since enlarged and | now known as Central school. Wei had no high school building. The I school course was confined to eight; grades. We had no water works, no! electric lights, no Union & Glenn j Springs railway, and but one small j mill, now greatly enlarged and known j as Union Mill. We had no knitting ; mill. We had no ice plant, no hand- j some store rooms. The Southern de- j pot was a small wooden shack, an eye i sore instead of the handsome brick j station now here. Of course we had I no handsome brick depot for the Union & Glenn Springs railway, for thai ' road had not yet been built. We had j some few real nice homes then, but | not more than a dozen. You can find | on every prominent street in the town j How more handsome homes than yoi ! could then find in the whole place We had no Carnegie library, no postoflice building, no white way on Main j street. Come to think of it, we have! made some considerable progress j and that's a fact. It was made in th< ; face of reactionists, knockers, pessi- j mists and calamity howlers. No town was ever built that did not stir up a whole breed of such pests. There may be some things that we need need badly. But we have come some j way, when you think of it. And, judg-1 ing the future by the past, we can j go on to bigger and better things. A ! cannery will help. We are planning: to have one. "The Union Dairy Co." | is a new corporation in the making) and with almost limitless possibilities, j This should te the nucleus for a' creamery and an ice cream factory, j Other enterprises will come. Sardis j Farm, not mentioned above, is one of the recent most excellent enterprises ( for Union. Not from the standpoint 1 of immediate dividends to the stock- : holders, but as an asset that will help Union County to solve its problems of today. When you get out your hammer to knock this town, suppose you first find out what you have and then take note of what you have done to help it. If, then you decide to j knock, go ahead, knock all you wish. Possibly the hammer will slip and knock you in the head. The town would not miss you, even should that sad end come to you.
