ssEither run . town with vim, Of
Just cell ont aud leave it," says n
exchange. .Men who are all the
time trying to get out of town wall
never build up the town or tbci'
business. One of two things must
be done-ruu the town for all it is
worth, get mp steam and keep it up,
or qul. the whole thing, slide out
and let nature take its course. Do
you want more trade? Do you
want . prosperous town, where
people can live who are disposed to
make homes? Then do away with
personal feeling; bury from sight
all spite work; work not for the
benefit of . few individuals. but all
work together for mutual benefit.
Wake up, rub your eyes, roll up
your sleeves aud 60 to work. DO
not work with fear and trembling,
but take It for granted that blood
will tell. Leave results to them
selves, borrow no trouble, but oil
unite TO make the most attractive
and biggest kind Of . town."
