How to Kill a Town.


The following has been printed In
several country newspapers:
Buy from pendlers as much and as
often as possible.
- Denounca your merchants because
they make profit on their goods.
Glory in ,n- downfall of man who
has done much to build up your town.
Make your town out IA bad place
and stab it every chance you get.
Refuse to unite ia any scheme for
the betterment Of the material inter
ests of the people.
Tell your merchants that you can
buy goods IA great deal cheaper 10
some other town and charge them
with extortlon. 1f IA 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-
nonnce yours for not being as large
and as cheap as the city papers.
If you are a merchano don't adyer-
tise in The home paper, hut compel
the editor to 20 elsewhere for adver-
tisemenls and howl like sorehead
because he dues SO. Buy rubber
stamp and use it. 1t may save you
few dimes and make your letter head
and wrapping paper look as though
you were doing business in one.
horse town.
If you are 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 or strife OF
any nature. People In towns should
strive to help each other, for 10 help.
ing Others you invariably help YOUR
self There is NO man that cannot
assist 10 the growth, prosperity and
development Of his town However
small his influence, 1t has its effect. !
Competition Is the life of trade and
merit wins. No town will prosper
and grow where lack Of enterpri e |

is felt. The true motto Of each and |
every citizen of town is and should |

ABITA SPRINGS
WILL HAVE A
BALL PARK
Citizens Entertaining the Ques.
ton Of Where Il May
Be Situated.

The citizens of Abita Springs are
turning their attentions toward max
ing the town attractive to summer
visitors and comfortable and enter
tanning for those who are fond OF
amusement and diversion. The
springs have just been improved BY
the addition of new cement floor In
the pavilion. A general survey of the
opportunities for aiding to the attract
ivenes3 of the town has brought out
the possibilities of ball park, and
it is probable that visitors to Abita
Springs next year who are fond Of the
sport will be able to witness some
first-class ball games In the shade of
grand stand or in the bleachers
with all the comfort Of the game In
the bigger cities.
The question OF just where the
park will be situated has not been
definitely settled. but there are sever
al sites In view that will make ex-
cellent grounds. Abita has some very
good baseball material, and If the
scheme goes through there should be
good support from the home people
as well as the visitors. Athletic
sports have q good influence In
community where they are conducted
cleanly and with proper competitive
spirit, and good baseball park would
be IN excellent thing for the town.
The expenses will probably be defrey-
y by contr1butio ions.
