So large was the crowd that some of the best, friendf, of the general, some who came from milea away, were unable to gain entrance into the home for the ?er— ices. Promptly at three oclock a special choir of mixed voices sang several verses of “How firm a foundation.” When the first 'notes of the beautiful hymn, one of the favorites of the de ceased, were wafted to the hundreds of people on the lawn, heads wen immediate'y bared and a silence fell upon the multitude.

A TALE OF A TOWN _* / ■ ^ (Series No. 1 2) These articles vjq being written for the purpose of showing the vast possibilities of this place if a construct ive policy is adopted. It is a well established fast that certain policies will hamper the growth of a town and that certain other policies will promote business activity and lead to general prosperity. I The Gazette is a community paper, it would like to lend its support to all sections for the purpose of develop men;. When it looks over the field it does not look at Leaksvtlle alone, but with equal friendship considers the Boulevard section and Spray. We need the support ofsthese places to prosper, and we have consistently re fused to array section against section or class against class. All are, or should be our friends and we are going to serve them the best we can. The character of the service given by the D. & W. has opened up the question of better railroad facilities. < This then, naturally invites attention to what facilities 1 we should have and as stated in one of our articles las' , week, we think the best bet, is the Ridgeway, Spray, < Leaksville, Wentworth, Reidsville connection, and then 1 the Leaksville-Madison connection.' There is no reason t why these cannot be secured if our people are ready to act, and we can never know when they are ready to act, } until the matter is placed before them in such a way as , to indicate just how they stand. < But before we impress railroad officials or other men in c enterprises of this kind, we must first get our own house t in order. There must be some crystalizing of sentiment 5 on certain things. Certaih town policies must be worked ' out. As we stand today, the^ Boulevard stands between t Leaksville and Spray; two points that have been more or £ lees hostile for many years, for what reasons, nobody ' seems to know. So the Boulevard finds itself in a peculiar t position. .. . | c But. during all this time she has stood alone, she has i prospered a3 no other section has prospered. Taking • taxable property in Leaksville (omiting the mills) j-md T comparing it with the Boulevard section (territory equal t to Leaksville) the chances are there would be little dif ference in the taxable property of the two places. Having c reached that importance, she has a perfect right to consid- t eration in all community plans. Her investment in substantial business buildings and ' fin^homes puts her in a position that to lnoger continue 1 without an ample water system for fire protection can \ be considered as almost a crime, say nothing of the ac- e tual crime of making school children wade water, mud ' and snow to and from school. ^ ' The Boulevard people have been patient, but iq time « patience ceases to be-a virtue. She has held an indepen- 1 dent attitude and has only taken sides, when only her J own welfare was involved. The time is close.by, when < she must decide the policies quickly and effectively. The time has come that working as groups no longer fills the bill. It handicaps everybody doing business out side of the county.
