Stand BY Your Town.

1t is not the site of town but its |
character that makes it a desirable place
to live. A live and prosperous town is |
desirable one, and town may live and
prosper and yet be small. Every citizen
in town should be interested in its !
prosperity. One of the ways to help a
town is to speak we'll of it. 1t is true
patriotism to stand by your town and
interest as we'll. As he who speaks ill !
of his family suffers in the estimation of
others so does man who cares little
for his town and community. The man
who is respected by others respects him
self and his neighbors, and patriotism
begins at home.
Another way to help your town is to
do all you can to besutify it. Beautlfy
your own property all you can, then do
what you can to help beautify your
streets. Be friendly to everybody and
courteous to strangers. Your civility
will help to make good impressions and
will be carried away and be cherished
Never forget that you are part of the
town and that your department helps
to make the strangers estimate of the
place. Sell all you can and buy all you
ean-at home. Every dollar that is
sent or carried away from the town
makes it that much poorer. If you have
the means, invest in something that
will give someone employment. Do not
kick at proposed improvement simply
because it is not at your door. A town
THAT is always improving is always
spreading itself out, II rich man
starts project, encourage him; if a
poor man starts one, help him. Don't
be afraid to thrust your hand down in
Iyour pocket to help public enterprise.
More towns have been killed by such
refusals than in any other way. The
citizens OF any prosperous town are al.
ways public spirited and united. They
stand together and work together for
the interest of the whole town. Always
stand ready to do your part. Do not
grumble and spend your time in proph'
esying failures, but help to make every
enterprise success. Every man owet
something to the community of his sue
cess, be it great or small.
i In word, be energetic, be enter
} prising, and your example will be emu
Hated.
