hold out inducements from our State
to capitalists who desire locations
for investments, or other words, de
sire to advertise North Carolina's re
soujees of all kinds. So its very
important that every town that wish
eg to induce manufacturing or show
the special advantages it has or can
offer to capital, belong to this asso
ciation. So we throw out these explanations
that our business men may think of
this and if they want to build up
Dunn or invite any attention to our
locality. Let's get together, organ
iie here and join tho State Associa
tiofl. We have the locality and every
thing except capital and with the
right kind of effort can bring it in
our midst. The editor is in corres
pondence with the Secretary of tbe
Association and will be able to en
laige on this brief notice later.
Business men of tbe town, land
owners around here, what say you ?
This is a chance to draw men wilh
