and pessimists have bad livers,
and poor digestions, and sour
countenances, and are general
nuisances all around.
And pessimists are always
grunting about something.
They grunt if times are bad;
they grunt because they are not
better when they are good; they
grunt over their meals, and over
politics, and religion, and any
thing else that offers a chance to
grunt.
And then they grunt because
there is nothing left to grunt
about.
Granting is a habit with them
it ,is their daily passttime--and
nothing is so dear to their hearts
as a great big unadulterated
grunt.
Many Of US grunt a part OF the
time, but some folks grunt all Of
the time.
Now let's quit grunting.
Let's get down to hard tacks
and dig a lot of wealth out OF
this community. It's here, but

Let's make this the greatest
