Either run your town with vim, or
just get up and leave it. Men who are
all the time wanting to get out of town
will never try to build it up. One of
two things should be done. Push things;
find way or make way to put some
go into the business; run the town for
all there is in it; get up steam and keep
i up. or else quit the whole thing, va
moose the ranch, slide out and let ma
lure have her way. DO you want trade!
Bid for it. Do you want men to come to
The town? Encourage those who do come
Do you want prosperous town, where
people will come and make it their
home? Then do away with and bury
rom sight all local differences, all spite.
Work no more for few individuals, but
Ill work together for common prosper
ty, and for mutual benefit. Wake up.
.ub your eyes, roll up your sleeves and
20 to work. Don't go to work with fear
md trembling, but take it for granted
hat work will tell. Leave results to
borrow no trouble, but unite
md make the biggest kind of try.
