The Town That Found Itself (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Town That Found Itself

There was no neighborliness to the town, no spirit of get together. The people themselves said so.

IT was the more surprising because the town was isolated by Nature and has remained so for lack of good roads. You might think that a community which is visited by a single train and single little river boat a day would have learned to become socially self-nourishing. But it had not. Never at any time did the people of this town all get together to talk, to sing, walk, play, dance, listen to entertainment or laugh together. In consequence the town did not know itself. Incidentally their children did not know how to play games and get fun out of them - which boded ill for the next generation. And thus things had been in this North Caro lina town for a long while.
