A Cltisen Speaks Out Por Pickens. I note that very little has ever been said about our town, its nat ural advantages, climate and uni limited resources of' the town and mrronnding country. First. Few people have ever thought that Pickens is, for a fact, mes of the best places for selling goods in this whole up--country his fact is evidenced, for instance, ,y the enterprising firm of Heath. Bruce-Morrow Co. They were far a ighted men who came from a die ance here and located one of the argest department stores in the tate, carrying in stock at least $30,000, and why? Because of the tide territory surrounding, and a noductive soil, which will be and s now being rapidly settled up by brifty farmers and business men. rh merchants of Pickene are do, ng at least 100 per cent more busil less nlow than they were five years ~go. Seconld. Piekens county IS teemis .ng with miner'als of all deserip ions and hardwoods of all kinds ~re in abundance everywhere.I say what can hiindor the town of Plckens frorkx being a thrifty, thriv ing city, situated right in the heart af all the natural advantages. Third. There is no locality in the whole of our loved Piedmont section that has such a wonderf ul olimate, and there is no reason why our town should niot be one of the first Summer resorts of the up country, equalling if not superior to Asheville, N. 0. Citizens of Pickens and our rounding country I Let us be tip and about, and all pull together for the building up of our town and country.i I notice that a Real Estate Agency has been estabhsuh ed here, let everyone who has prop erty to sell place it in the hands of these gentlemen, placing a mnoder ate price upon it, and we will cer, tainly get a hustle on the "old town.''
