A GEORGIA PAPERS IDEA
OF A TOWN DEVELOPER

Lord, please don't let this town
grow. I've lived here for a number
of years, and during that time I've;
fought every public improvement.
I've knocked everything and every.
body; no firm or individual has esta-
blished business here without my
doing all ] could TO put them out Of
business. I've used every unbranded
method known to the knocking fra
ternity to injure their business. I've
lied about them, and would have
stolen from them if | had the cour-
age. have done all l could to keep
the town from growing. Never
have spoken good word for it,
but instead / have knocked them
hard and often. 1t pains me, o
Lord,to see that in spite of my knock
ing this town is beginning to grow.
Some day, ! fear, will be called
upon to put down sidewalks in front
of my property, and who knows but
what l will have to help keep up the
streets that run by my property
This, Lord, would be more than
could bear. 1t would cost me money
and / could not afford to pay out
my money, though all | have was
made right here in this town.
Then, too, more people might
come if the town begins to grow,
would cause me to lose some of my
pull. / ask therefore, to keep this
town at standstill that | may CON
tinue to be the chief Knocker. Amen!
