China Grove has advantages over most of the big cities in the State ' whioh are becoxn iog known to the wide awake men of affairs here and else where. In view of this faot a big manufaotaring concern is con sidering the advisability of estab lishing a branch factory here at i an early date. We would call at tention to the phrase used, above aact stress tie 'Boint that Ohma Grove is the place beiiLg consider ed. It is not merely t he consid eration and advisability oi estab lishing a branch fact iory some where, but at China Grove. Of course there are nutner ous other points that might answe r the pur poses desired, even soaae of the places with booster clu bs, but as intelligent men have long since learned that boosting is one thing and merit is something entirely different, China Grove stands a fine ohance of getting th e propos ed faotory. This town, like many other gcod towns, is short on 'boosting, but has a long suit on meitit, and, of course, will be in the winning while many of th bone .rattlers will be left high and dry on the beach pumping a fog horn in fair weather. The parties who. have the matter in charge have had offers from the. bigger towns of a site and other assistance, bat ach things, r thotngh valanble, cannot overcome the merits of China Grove, therefore are given little consideration. The only thing that seems necessary ou the part of this oommnmty to get the fac tory is to tote fair, don't try to gouge and insist on unreasonable conditions just b-ecause the oppor sunny presents itself. Bucn a course will most surely drive away the enterprise, be of no profit to any on e or the commu nity alid be a lasting blow that we can ill afford to sustain . We hope to gi ve a fuller report on the subject at an early date. How's Tbis? Wa offer One Be ward for any that cannot be Hundred Dollars case of Catarrh cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. P. J.
