We clip the following from one of our exchanges in regard to what it takes to kill a town: A town that never has had any thing to do in a public way is on the road to the cemetery, any citizen who will do nothing for his town is helping to dig the grave. A man who will cuss his town furnishes the coffin. 1 he one who is so selfish as to have no time from his business to give to the city affairs is ma king the shroud. The merch ant who will not advertise is driving the hearse. The man "who is always pulling back from bouquets any public enterprise throws on the grave. The man who is so stingy and fish as to be always hard times preaches the funeral and sings the doxologv, and thus the town lies buried from all sorrow and care. Mrs. T. W.
