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.

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.

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.
