eye falls on it:
If you wish to keep town from
thriving, don't put any more houses
than you eau conveniently occupy your.
self. If you should accidentally have
an empty dwelling, aud any one wants
to rent it, just ask him about three
tues the actual value of it. Demand
a Shylock price for every spot of ground
that God has given you a stewardship
over. Turn cold shoulder to every
mechanic or business man seeking a
house among you. Look at every new
conner with scowl. Run down the
work of every new workman. Go
abroad for wares, rather than trade with
those who do business in your midst.
Fail to advertise, or in any manner sup
port your papers, SO that people abroad
may not know whether business -four.
ishes in your town or not. Wrap your
sell up in coat OF impervious selfish
ness. There is no more efectual way
to rctard the growth of town than &C.
tions like those enumerated.
No extra charge for using cuts Of
horses, cows, or farming implements 10
