The best town in the world is your ‘town—the town you live in, and if you dop’t believe that it is the best town, our advice to you_ is to move wout, because you are hampering pro- gress by a barnacle-like attitude. Every town needs progressive citi- zens—citizens who are broad-minded -and have-a vision that encompasses ' :something besides their own person- -al. welfare: and -ambitions. We have got to play this.town building game together if wé are to-achieve the best Tesults. The opinionated or bigoted, -gelfish- lobster who only thinks last :and all the time, even though it may «eyolve the best interest.of his whole town: and community: at their. ex- pense, is a most worthless carcass to -any town and mill stone around the neck of any community which at times even succeed in Kkilling off a pretty town with:.a great future be- Such fellows are generally ., fore it. : . ‘found peddling every strange man's opinion, whether it represent the ‘best interest of the town or not, pro- viding such opinion is the means of ‘rolling a. dollar or two into their pockets at the expense and disgrace of their own town. But, remember it don’t build .up your town ‘Mrs. Ole G. Be}g and son, Walter, sof. Clover township, were busy shop- -pers here last week. Bennett' A.
