Yes, that's what we said: 'Be an
eptimisti" Don't bo . knocksr. The
knocker has never accomplished any
thing in the direction of remedies for
the overwhelming or overshadowing
evils he complained of, or in the in
crease Of business-and he never will.
Therefore, if you would help your town
be an optimist. He not only keeps
things going, but talks up and starts
new enterprises that bring wider pros
perity and more diversified opportu-
mites. Be an optimist if you stay in
Go1dsboro, or else be tramp and
Hmove on.''
