Why Some Towns Die

More towns die for want of conf dence on the part of business men and lack Of public sPir;: than from any other cause. When a man Tn search of home or business location goes into town and finds everything full of hope and enthusiasm over the pros poets ot the place, and everyone earn estly at work to build it up. he soon becomes imbued with with the same spirit, and as q result he "drives down his stakes" and goes to work with the same interest. When, however. he goes to town where everyone express es doubtful Apprehension for the future prospects of the place, moping about and indulging in mourhful complaint; he naturally feels that it is no place for him, and at once shakes the dus
 of his feet, while he pulls out with al
 possible speed for some other place
 Consequently, try to make a live, en. terprising town out of the one il which you live. Wher you are work ing for or saying good thing for you town you are acc nplistirg all th
 nore for yourself.-New Era.
