: The best way to build up a town
is to stand by every man in town,
truthfullv remarks an exchange.
All residents should be- partners not
opponents. In all livelihoods the
more business your rival does the
more you will do. Every business
man who treats his customers
honestly, courteously and fairly,
will get his share, and the more
business that can BIZ secured by
united efforts, the better it will be
for all. When a town ceases to
grow, it begins to die and the more
people try to Kill each other in
business the more readily will ruin
come to all. Stand together for the
advancement of every citizen. If a
man! shows ability to prosper, do
not pull him back through jealousy
or weigh him down through cold
Indifference.
Sunday evening couple of our
towns people were driving down
the road near Maguire's place and
we're met by three young sproutings
from Kinbrae, who wanted to know
where Maguire's mellon patch was.
The fellows in the buggy gave the
boys the desired information as to
the hest Of their knowledge, and
drove on a little way farther, then
turned around and drove hack to
.Magujre's, one of the party notified
the Mcguire people and borrowed
gun to scare the boys with. He
then proceeded to the place where
he previously directed the boys,
when within a few yards Of the boys
he pointed the gun into the air and
fired, in moment he fred again
and called to Mcguire for more
shells;by this time the venturesome
mellon hunters were running like
wild antelopes and yelling equal to
a bunch of savage beasts. The boys
returned to their native land"
empty handed. hut less injured than
they had first imagined themselves
to be Dundee Advocate.
