DOES THE SHOE PINCH YOU?

It certainly contains rich food Tor
thought and wholesome lessons that
should not only be thoroughly memo
rized but practiced as we'll. It also
contains some hard ticks against old
foeies and calamity howiers who are
such a drawback and obstacle to the
progress of the community in which
they reside. Reader, does the shoe
pinch you! Are you classed among
those who decry every effort made to
Increase the business of your town
and to advance its prosperity Are
you making any effort to build up it's
business and increase its growth!
If you are, then you are too busy to
hurt your town by ridiculing and be-
littleipg the enterprise Of your more
public spirited neighbor, and if not.
then you should be no longer a drone
in tae bee hive of industry and at
once get at something that will be
pleasant to you to think about while
living and when dead and gone be
q monument to your memory in
which your posterity car take a par
donable pride. These are vital ques-
tons and concern not only the PEG
pie who reside and do business in
towns, bat those who reside in the
surrounding country as we'll. A
prosperous and progressive market
town is an uDerring indication of a
prosperous and progressive country.
Az the one prospers and thrives so
does toe other in a corresponding
ratio. It can be put down as never
failing result that your town is just
what you make it. Il you are sloth-
ful. indolens aud n'er to do well, your
town will be filed With ramshackling
signs, customerless stores, dilapidated
houses, neglected premises and wear
a God forssken appearance. But ii,
on the other hand, you are proges-
sive, Industrious and filed with vim,
snap and life, your town will be pros
porous, thriving and owe, howing with
business activity. A town reflects
the character and habits of it's deni-
gems and the inbabitants of the
country ao 'ceut to it the same as
g mirror reflects your face. We ali
should join in an effort to improve
the condition of own town. We
should lend a helping hand and en-
courage with our irfaence and money
home enterprises and home indus
tries. Let Us invite capita! to come
in and set lie amongst us rather than
repel it By u discouraging tales of
want Of enterprise and progress which
has existence only in our sluggish
imagination. We should advertise
the grand possibilities of our town
both in and out of season. Talk it
with our lips; talk it with our lives,
and talk it by u example. Because
We vainly imagine that We have a good
thing is no reason or excuse why we
should bar the doors, shut out others
and retard the progress of the town.
We all car do something along
this line end We should see to it that
it is done.
