Keep the Ball Rolling.

There is so much good sense in th,
following item, which has been going the
rounds of the papers for some time, ant
ought to be kept rolling, that we take the
liberty to publish it. Just as like as any
way, some old fogy, who always says il
can't be done, when new improvement
Is talked of in Plymouth, will think the
article was written expressly for him,
when it was only written for that class
OF people who are only serviceable as
wheel horses to hold back, when a for
ward movement should be made:
Talk UP and work up your town, and
your own tOWnSnen and husineos
Glve encouragement to every useful and
cfedltaole enterprise in your midst. for as
certain as that effects follow cause. so
certain Will every enterprise of merit re
pay every citizen. We cannot live unto
ourselves-and we cannot diecouraoe
any movement in behalf of place with
cut lnf1lcting upon ourselves a personal
injury. Denouncing the place where we
dweiI as old fogy, one horse, or with any
Such slang terms, is calculated to brine
ABOUT just such a condition ss we de-
hounce. Ii you see q needed improve
ment Tor the city or town, demand il. and
talk 1t up vigorously until the whole com
munlty IS impregnated with the idea-until
a storm Of public sentiment compels the
work, Don't stop because some poor
mummy, out of whom has withered all
public spirit and love of advancement
moans out in a sepulchral whine, 1T
won't pay" Show to your live fellows
that 1t will pay, and leave the mummy to |

versal Improvement, increased facilities
and business, and broad, liberal, genial |
public spirit that prevades and WHITES /

place where it enters.
We hope to see our citizens go to work
next spring, and put the streets, side
Walks, door yards and houses in neat and
good order. THIS will make the town
attractive People from a distance will
ocate here; buy property, build manu-
acturing establishments and drive the

Our neighbors of the Democrat, have
bought new job press and will hereafter
be able to do as good a job of printing as
the REPUBLICAN. We are really glad of
1t. We claim share of the credit for
this improvement; for we can say without
fear OF contradiction, that when the pres
ent proprietor came to Plymouth. last
spring, neither of the newspapers publish
ed in this place were respectable in ap-
pearance or showed signs of enterprise.
Now the Democrat is very respectablei in
appearance, and it well edited. The ap-
pearance of the REPUBLICAN, needs no
word of comment in these columns. Our
JOB work will compare favorably with the
same Gloss OF work done in large cities
and our prices are as low. Our merchants
had got into the habit of sending their or
ders for fine printing to other places.
They are acting more wisely now. Bring
IN your orders. Remember there is com
petition for job printing in Plymouth, and
the material and mechanical skill to do If
well and promptly.
