that the receivers suit in the State

WHAT PBOGRESSIVE TOWNS
HAVE TO CONTEND WITH

A mossback, gentle reader, is a
cross between the fifth and fifteenth
century He is found in fossilized
form in nearly every town in the
country and still lives. He raises
his rents, detests a boom, loves
to have other people bear all the
taxes, hates to have a new enter
prise start in a community which
smacks of progress and won't help
a newspaper boom its own town.

There are several varieties of moss
backs, but none are of much use
to the town They are as the drones
to a hive of bees and like the
industrious bee, the live business
man should avoid these drones and
patronize those who are an advan-
tage to the place they reside in.
