ONLY TOO TRUE.

Pulaski County Democrat: A small city paying a fat bonus to locate some factory is a good deal like a pair of grandparents taking a spoiled boy to raise. By way of illustration, a couple of years ago Monticello paid roundly to secure a thread factory. The factory has been a fine thing for the town, but every time the factory sees. something it wants, it sets up a yell like the aforementioned spoiled boy if somebody doesn’t hand the factory its desired knick-knack p. d. q. Recently a couple ot lots were needed to enlarge the building. The owner would not sell two unless he could sell the three that he owned. “800, hoo, cried, the factory, “if we can’t have those lots at our price we’ll move to some other town.” So the grandmotherlike Industrial Association' hustles out and pledges itself to pay the differ-, ence in price between the two and the three lots, thus keeping the spoiled .boy from working himself into a mad fit, Freaking up his playthings and running away from home.
