How to Kill Your Town.

The following is being printed in sew
eral country newspapers. It should
have a beneficial influence:
Buy from peddlers as much and as
often as possible.
Denounce your merchant because
they make a profit on their goods.
has done much to build up your town.
Make your town out a bad place
and stab it every chance you get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the material inter
ests of the people
Tell your merchants that you can buy
goods great deal cheaper in some
other town and charge them with ex-
tortion. If a stranger comes to your
town tell him everything is overdone,
and predict general crash in the near
future.
Patronize outside newspapers to the
exclusion Of your own and then de-
nounce yours for not being as large
and as cheap as the city papers.
If you are merchant don't adver-
tise in the home paper, but compel
the editor to 60 elsewhere for adver-
tisements and howl like a sore head
because he does SO. Buy rubber
stamp and use it. 1t may save you a
few dimes and make your letter head
and wrapping paper look as though you
were doing business in one-horse
town.
If you are a farmer, curse the place
where you trade as the meanest on
earth. Talk this over to your neigh
bors and tell them the men are rob-
bers and thieves. 1t will make your
property much less valuable; but you
don't care.
No town, county or community will
ever prosper, to any great extent,
where there is division Of strife of
any nature. People in towns should
strive to help each other, for in help
ing others you invariably help your.
self. There is no man that cannot
assist in the growth, prosperity and
development of his town. However
small his influence, it has its effect.
Competition is the life Of trade and
merit wins. No town will prosper and
grow where q lack Of enterprise and
push on the part Of the citizens is felt.
The true motto of each and every citi-
zen Of town is and should be to assist
and help your neighbors, encourage
business Of all kinds (don't fear any
danger in gorging the market in this
line), do all you can and encourage all
in the matter of improvement in MAX
ing the town attractive and giving it
home-like appearance. When this is
done people from distance will form
a good opinion Of the place, and it will
be an inducement for them to locate
with us and become permanent and SUBJ
stantial citizens.
