Show YOUR HOME CITY. Next to a man's family and business, busi-ness, says a contemporary, nothing should stand nearer his heart than the city in which he lives. Tt is the place where he w.ins his competency com-petency ami educates his children. He wants to make it as populous, as thrifty and ns widely known as possible; he cannot afibttl to be indifferent in-different toanything which furthers j these ends. It can be said that a town not worthy of the devotion of its citizens in making it widely known and greatly prosperous, b; a town in which it is not woith while to live in at all. If such a town is worth anything at all, it is worth the full mea.-ureof our de- votiuti. whether we receive any ini-; ini-; mediate dividend in dollars or ' cents, or whether we merely take our share of the common henefits I accorded to the community. |
