The best way to build up a town is to
stand by every man in the place who
does right. Whenever a man is doing
well do not tear him down. All residents
should be partners, not opponents. In
all liVelihoods the more business your
rival does the more YOU viii do. Every
business man who treats his customers
honestly. cOurteously and fairly viii get
his share. and the more business that
can be secured by the united efforts the
better it will be for all. When a town
ceases TO grow Il begins to die, and the
more they try TO kin each other in their
business the more readily will utter ruin
come TO all. Stand together for the ad-
vancement Of every citizen. If man
shows ability to prosper, don't pull him
back through jealousy or weight him
down through cold indifference.-Pike
County Democrat.
