PRIDE OF POSSESSION.

The farmer who by Industry,
skill and judgment, raises album.
dant crops, and enjoys independ-
ence, has ample reason to feel
pride in his possessions. He
holds the key of prosperity and
the world at large is in q meas
ure dependent upon him.
The physician or surgeon, who
by knowledge and skill in the
treatment Of disease, holds death
itself at bay has a right to a
proper pride. The practitioner oil
any profession who is successful
should be proud of his attain
ments. Even the accumulation
OF mere wealth has cause for self
congratulation. But above all
should we cultivate community
pride. Not the Boosting, bluste-
ry, contemplate variety, but the
kind that makes US ashamed &c
fall behind in the march of pro-
gress.
If we enjoy the privileges and
advantages of citizens of 4 first.
class town pride is necessary
factor in keeping it such. Not
only must business houses, resi-.
dences, and streets be kept in
repair and up-fo date, but the
educational and moral standing
of the place must be above re-
proach.
Foryears our town has enjoyed
the reputation of a church going,
iaw-abiding citizenship. Should
there be no progress in this line,
no pride in keeping morally
clean and moving forward, the
time will soon come when we will
retrograde.
Whatever be your calling, take
pride in bringing it to the front,
then cultivate that unselfish pride
that takes in your neighbor and
gives him also a chance at suc-
cess. In this way the outsider
will learn our worth and long 70
join our company.
