A town is like large family. We
are interested in each others welfare,
or should be. A cut-throat. evely-man-
for-himself policy means ruin for any
community. Itmeans retrogression and
failure. The first lesson that any fami-
ly must learn is that to be happy and
successful is unity and mutual assist
ance. The same applies to the business
life of town and the more abundant
will be the towns prosperity. Stand
by each other and patronize the home
folks.

provements thus planned and success
fully carried out.
