Blackwell Sun: More towns die FOR
want of confidence on the part Of the
business men, and lack of public spirit
that from the rivalry of neighbOring
towns or adverse surroundings. When
a man in search of a home or a bust
ness location goes TO a town and finds
everything brimfull OF hope and enthu-
siasm over the prospects of the home
and everybody at work to build up the
town. he soon becomes imbued with the
same spirit and. as a result. drives down
his stake and goes to work with some
interest. When, however. he goes to 4
town and everyone expresses doubt and
apprehension in the future prosperity Of
the place moping about and INDUCING
in complaints about the imaginary evils
likely 10 befau the town. he naturally
feels it is no place for him, and at once
shakes the dust from his feet, while he
pulls with all possible speed for some
other town. Consequently. try TO make
a live, enterprising, progressive town ont
Of the one in which you live. When
you are working for or saying a good
thing for your own town you are accom-
plishing all the more for yourself
