bank and give men who are working to
build up both town and country chance

ing, ::chronic kicker can do more to keer
away business and capital than all the
drouths, short crops, chinch bugs, Cyclone.
and billiards combineds." This sugges
tion may, with much propriety, be com
mended to the few foolish pullbackers who
have seemingly tried to retard the progress
