The best way to build up a town

Whenever a man Is doing well do
not try to tear him down. All the
residents of a town ought to be
partners, not opponent. Their
interests are, certain extent,
mutual. What helps one
others. In all likelihood the more
business your rival does the more
you will do. Every man
who treats his customers honestly,
courteously and fairly will get his
share, and the more business that
can be secured by united efforts the
better it will be for all. When a
town ceases to grow it begins to die

gases, because its cold
shine came, not from combustion
but from
feeding upon a similar to
decaying wood. Ho, with
rate and unconquerable optimism,
we may well believe the wit of man

Further Remarks on Ingratitude.
Your editorial Of Monday on the
subject of ingratitude was so well-
timed it reflects great credit on the
writer. There are few people who
will read such an article, because
people do not want to look into their
own ungrateful hearts and even in
secret confess their great and ignoble
shame. he sin of ingratitude must
be the sin against the Holy Ghost re-
to in divine hi story, and yet
it is the one prevalent crime of the
great mass mankind. Were it
the reverse, what a happy,
people would be in this
world, and if love held all
men how beautiful this life
would he. True religion would he
as manifest as the morning sun after
a stormy night. Hut the ungrateful
do not care to let their thoughts
dwell on such a blackening sin
they do not care to learn
teach me to feel another's woe
And hide the faults see
or
to others show
The mercy shown to
A thoughtful remembrance of the
the long ago. a full recognition of

grasp of the kind band, or the word
from a kind heart; stimulated, re-
freshed and gave new
thought there were big hearts
and kind v ices that came to us and
made the the heart feel glad.
In the midst of busy care as we
are want to excuse ourselves, we pass
the once friendly, kind-hearted, gen-
and not a word to cheer or a
hand to help. This wantonness of
mankind is a blight to the true
that the craving soul o much
needs.
The man who forgets the kindness
of the past will some day wake up to
a sad and sorrowful repentance and
will remember that is more
blessed to re than to
turn
