Go TO Wo -K. -There is no legit- imite reason why Climton should not have more industries, but some one must act before any definite action is taken to forge the town ahead. The first question is, Who should take the initiative ? When such a question is put we naturally look about a nd en- quire who are our representatives. The reply must be the Town Council. To the rnemhers of that body the citi- zens should first look to take steps to create new and paying industries. For instance, the Council could with profit to the town and people lay down plans for the formation of several joint stock companies for the manufacture of pori., for the manufacture of canned goods such as fruits and vegetables, for the manufacture of twine. for the manu- facture of footwear, furniture, &c., &c. There is enough capital in Clinton to snceesafglly engage in any one or all of these. Through the laxity of these who shonld be more public spirited our population is kept in check, and the people generally must be content to not advance with the times. Situate es Minton is, with the advantage of fer- tile surrounding country, healthy clim- ate and railway connection to the south, north east and ;vest, a move should certainly be made to take ad- vantage of onr opportunities. We are traits aware that too many public ;nen look to self Interests rather than that of the public, but it is clearly the ditty of the Connell to agitate and in- terest the citizens of Clinton in this matter. If the Council I& averse to rakingrietion, let them appoint an energetic citizens committee represent, fog both wealth and brains to form u - late plana for. the advancement of the tt ii+rrr If it successful tltove 1 Made ,rxi'uro labor vt+lll . he employed, more .hotiffe `will r e Tired °fit population . � rrt, . of pt" r ti its' ' tlif rl i atvi 1 Act elite Met, a Think of us as house furnishers. * one 'line, FURNITURI We carry but And we attend to every want in this line. Goods are very cheap, cannot possibly be lower. Economy is a good word but even a good thing can be carried to extreme. It is not wise to nn duly economize in home comforts.
