there among our people who has not
the patriotism in their veins to stand
boldly up in defense of and contra
dict any statement made that he
knew would prove injurious to our
town and people? Who does not wish
to have it said of them when they
are gone that the town and commun-
ity in which they lived has been
made. some better by them having
lived in it?
Never forget you are a part of
the town, and that your own deport-
ment helps to make up the strangers
