The Chronic Knoker.

There simply is not enough room
in Leesburg for the chronic knock
err.
We don't care who he is, the man
who habitually knocks his town is
poor citizen, He may not know it,
but he is, nevertheless.
When such a man knocks his
town he knocks his own business
and man who knocks his own
business, like Bud Hinckley, amt
quite right in the head The town
in which a man makesa his money
and has his being, deserves better
than knocks. II it doesn't the kn9c-
ker should move.
Commenting on this species of
citizens, the Columbus Enquirer
Sun very truthfully says that the
man with a hammer should forget
it; or, if he uses it at all, he should
do so in driving nails for the con-
struction Of something worth while,
not for the demolition Of something
that has already been erected and is
serving its purpose. The knocker
has no place in the building of any
community. and he should be given
no encouragement.
The knocker and the town gossip
are in the same class. One blasts
the town, while the other blasts
character. One sits up nights in or
der to catch the first faint order Of
scandal while the other does the
same thing in order to appear bright
and early with a new assortment of
knocks. People who must knock and
cuss ought to buy mule for this
specific purpose, because the mule
can stand it without hurt.
Quoting again from our Columbus
contemporary, the following fits ike
a well-tailored suit, and should be
read twice
There is a trite saying which is
applicable to the person who finds
little or nothing to commend, but
who constantly condemns. It is that
if he doesn't like this city, there are
several trains departing from the
union station daily, and the fare is
not prohibitiye. Besides this, if
there is not train leaving soon
enough for him, there has been a
good deal Of Improvement in the
roads round about here during the
past few years, and walking is not
as bad as it used to be. .
