THE KNOCKER.

Every community has him, every
community cusses him and every COM
munity tolerates him.
He is usually an unsuccessful bust
ness man whose Objectionable ways
have been the direct cause of his los
ing in the game of life. He must
needs vent his spleen on some n or
some thing. Admitting no fault in
himself, ergo, the fault must be in
his environment-hence he knocks.
He is a p~estiferous cuss, and as lit
tie as we believe it, he really does
harm.
He is sure to get the ear Of many
new men in town and pours into their
ears his abuse of the place. Accord
ing to him conditions are all cross
wise. The business men are cheats
and swindlers. The professional men
are quacks and shysters. To his way
of thinking there isn't a decent me-
chanic in the place. Even the labor
ers are lazy and trifing. The town
is dead and is no place for a live
man to tarry. His scared soul fairly
writhes and squirms with sardonIc
Joy when he sees that his miasmatic
m%outhings are having their intended
effect upon the victim. That is the
knocker-that is his story. his way.
If there is a public enterprise plan
ned that needs cooperation and unit
ed effort he is Immediately possessed
of a superior wisdom and begins with
glee to point out all the weak spots.
No calculations al by any possibility
work out as intended. Men upon
whom the enterprise depends will
prove weak or traitors. The plans
are all wrong. The whole thing is a
piece of stupendous folly, and he for
one will have nothing to do with it.
But what a pity he will not! That
would be all the community would ask
of him and his mouth.
And thus it goes on year after year.
Does it have any effect, you ask?
1t certainly does. The business life
of a community, contrary to the opin-
ions of many, is susceptible to influ-
ence from adverse critics. Perhaps
not half of his hearers know the real
cause of his pessimistic knockings,
and in many minds a doubt fingers
and things that should go with a rush
are unaccountably slow and tagging.
But what, say you, can we do with
him?
May we make a suggestion? Every
time this insect opens his mouth to
knock tell him plainly that there are
quite a number of roads leading away
from the town, and cordially invite
him to take one of them and follow it
to its end.
And let every loyal citizen of the
town give him the same advice.

If one-haf the mean things that

Every merchant in Pleasantville
| wants to sell you goods. You want
to trade with the merchant who will
do the best by you, who will sell you
the best goods at the least price. 1t
is up to you to read the ads. in The
Pleasantville Press, and it is up to the
merchant to see that you read his ad.
When you both do this YOU both win.
The man who does not take his
home paper misses three fourths of
what is going on in his home commu-
nifty. He must either borrow the pa
per from his neighbor and be con-
! sidered a tight wad and a nuisance,
or he must be content to learn a little
and know less. The P~leasantville
Press costs but $1.00 a year. and is
| worth ten times that amount to any
person.
Every citizen of Pleasantville is in
terested in it's welfare, for his own
welfare depends upon the prosperity
| of the town. For that reason, if for
no other, we should do as much as
| possible of our buying at home this
winter and Christmas. Better still,
let's keep it moving around here all
of the time. We will make it's &C.
quaintance oftener ourselves.

Do you want to make a clear saving
of $500 to $4,000 IN your expenses
between now and the first of next
January? You can do it, and this is
the way you can do it. You will be
making many purchases for yourself
and your family for fall and winter
purposes and for Christmas time.
There is always some merchant IN
town who will do a little better by you
than anybody else. When a merchant
is able to do this he is keen to ad-
vertise and let the people know just
what he can and will do. Your own
cue is to read carefully each week
the advertisements in The Pleasant
vile Press. They tell the story and
the name of the merchant who makes
the story. Read the ads.

PEOPLE YOU OUGHT TO KNOW,

There are many people in Pleasant
vile you ought to know, for your own
sake. Some of them you may not
know, but you should.
You should know the banker. He
is the one who supplies you with mon
ey when you need it, and cares for
your money when you have it. Nc
town can conduct modern business
without him.
You should know each merchant.
They have the goods you want, and
if you know each one personally you
also know something of the wares
they sell. This enables you to buy
iudiciously and saves you many a lost
penny.
You should know the mechanic. Ev-
cry time an improvement is made you
must call him in. If you know them
all you likewise know the n who is
most likely to give you the best ser
vice.
You should know the school teacher
He is responsible to a great degree
for the moulding of the character OF
your children, for the lessons they
learn while under his care are not
forgotten even to the brink of the
grave. Know him, and help him.
You should know the farmer. He
holds the world in the hollow of his
hand. To him we look for the pro.
duction of the ~sustenance of life, and
without him we could not live.
You should know the minister. He
is interested in you, though you may
give little thought to him. He. does
not supply you with the bread you
eat, or the clothes you wear, but he
does beckon you along the road to a
