There is no quicker way to take the life, growth ar.d energy out of a town than for <ts citizens to be con stantly holding up the dark side of the picture to the gaze of the inquirer The word “if,” keeps everybody in doubt, and doubt keeps every man from going forward with the improve ments he would otherwise make. There is nothing like confidence to make a success of anything and if you havn’t got any of it, don’t com municate the fact to your neighbor, much less to a stranger, and if the bent of your mind is to continually go against every interest of the town in w'hieli you live, for the sake of the town get out of it, and go to some place that is already lifeless and has no Interests at stake, when- you, like tie- old lady’s root beer, if you don’t, do any good, you won’t do any bun.
