1t is your duty to always speak a
good word for your town. 1t is this
kind of citizenship that counts for
something, and helps to make a town
boom. The man who is chronically
ldicted to growing about town and
is people, can do more damage to a
town in month than hundred good
men can heal in two. The success of
any community depends largely upon
the united efforts Of its citizens to push
it on. A newspaper can do no good
for town unless seconded by it's citi-
zens; they must urge the good meas
ure it suggests, and by SO doing they
can increase the measure of success
and prosperity. Never fail to have a
good and encouraging word for your
town if you would have it prosper.
