How TO KILL TowN.-A West
ern exchange furnishes the following
recipe for "knocking town stiff and
dead7 in q very short time:
II you wish to kill of q town, put mp no
more buildings than you are Obliged to oc-
cupy yourself. If you should happen to
have am empty building, and one should
want to rent IT, ask about three times Its
actual value. Look at every newcomer
with scowl. Turn O cold shoulder to ev-
cry business man or mechanic seeking a
home among you. Go abroad for wares
rather than purchase of your merchants or
manufacturers at the same prices. Refuse
to advertise, so that a person at distance
will not suppose any business is being done
in your city. A prompt and close observ-
ance of these rules will ruin any town in
two years. ~ a-A Ats ll t4-. saaA@
There are some property-holders in
some Tennessee cities and towns who
observe this recipe with q consistency
which would be commendable if it
were employed in a better business.
Indeed, without being personal at all,
we might say that quite number OF
people in GAINESVILLE observe it with
u uniform regard for the welfare OF
number one and uniform disregard
for every one else.
