EITHER run town with vim or
just sell out and leave it. says an
exchange. Men who are all the time
trying to get out of a town will
never build up town or their own
business. One of the two things
must be done-run the town for all
it is worth, get up steam and keep
it up, or quit the whole thing, slide
out and let nature take it's course
Do you want trade? Advertise for
it. Do you want prosperous town
where people can come who are dis
posed to make homes? Then dc
away with personal feeling, bury all
spite work; work no more for few
individuals, all work together for 9
mutual benefit. Wake up; roll your
eyes, roll up your sleeves and go tc
work. Don't work with fear ant
trembling, bat take it for granted
tnat blood will tell. Leave results
with themselves; borrow no trouble
but all unite to make the biggest
kind of city,
