Show Impnivtmi'iits Contajibiis. An exchange notices how contagious con-tagious improvement is. It is cor-1 reefc. A clean mowed lawn or lot shames the grass grown on one near it, and makes its owner ashamed. A new paint on fence or house, a good sidewalk, nicely trimmed trees or nicely set ones, !all these things and many more, make a silent appeal to the neighbors that stimulates their ambition and causes a si miliar improvement, and some little additional ad-ditional one to make everything suit, so that reacts and makes the original improver begin again. Some of this kind of. emulation could be felt in this town without with-out hurting the looks of the place cither. |
