NOT A DESTROYER
Arc you a builder, or are
you a destroyer?
Are you seeking to advance
the interest of the community in
which you live, or are you di
verting your efforts to its ul
timate destruction?
It is one or the other, for
there is no happy medium.
You are either a benefit to
the town or you are a detri
ment.
You are either a builder or
a destroyer, and the responsi
bilty rests with you.
Others know you as you are, 1
but do you know yourself?
Every town has within its
borders many excellent people
who want to see their com
munity advance and keep pace
with the rest of the world.
They want a larger and bet
ter town, a more prosperous
farming community, more gold
in the pockets of every citizen,
and they labor unceasingly to
this end. They are good citi
zens, and the great mass of
the populace rates them as
good citizens.
They are Builders.
But often the most persist
ent efforts of the builders are
more than overshadowed by
the other class—the destroy
ers.
A destroyer can do in a day
what it takes a builder a year
to accomplish.
And destroyers are legion.
They travel in all walks of
life and are exceedingly ac
tive.
T
...
You find them amon# the
rich property owners, the land
ed proprietors, the business
and professional man, the me
chanic and the farmer. You
find them everywhere.
They do not realize that
they are destroyers—but they
are. Many rich men and land
ed proprietors are opposed to
any form of public improve
ment because they fear that it
will increase the amount of
their taxes.
As their eyes are firmly fix
ed upon the tax list, they lose
sight of the fact that public
improvements that increase
the -tax roll slightlj likewise
increase property values im
mensely.
T 1 hey oppose improvements
and thereby become destroy
ers, placing the tremendous
weight of their hostile influ
_4 ence in opposition to the ad-1
1 vancement of the community.
Then there is a certain class
rjf men who carry around a
itofid of grouch which they let
oose upon every possible oc- j
psasion and without regard for
}tain,ieir victims,
g They damn the town, and
the people, and everything
nd everybody but themselves,
tltfo mention civic improve
t jnt to them is like shaking a
ri rag at a mad bull.
3*They rave at all times at ev
^sjs^ovbody, and their ravings
p|J|I—vel on wings, and grow,
H d penetrate every section of
country.
&nd there is still another
that comes along with
;r contributions to the
nfall of their community,
are the patrons of tin
■>rder man—the world's
est enemy to the small
community.

NO DIFFERENCE
A darkey running a ferry
across the river was accosted
by a poor white stranger who
wanted to cross but hadn’t the
money.
Peter scratched his wooley
poll, preplexed, then querier:
“Doan’ vo’ got no money at
all?”
“No,” was the dejected re
ply.
“Hut it doan’ cost yo but 15
cents ter cross,” insisted Pete.
“1 know but I han’t got L5
cents.”
After a final inward think,
Pete remarked :
“1 done tell yo’ what; a man
what’s not got 15 cents am jes’
as well off on dis side of de
ribber as on de odder side!”

LIV-ER-LAX
All the Effectiveness, Not the
Effect of Calomel
Liv-ver-lax is one of the most
important medical discoveries
of recent years. For a long
time, medical experts, realiz
ing the harmful effects of cal
omel. have been striving to
find a liver cleanser that would
be just as effective as calomel,
and yet be absolutely harmless
in its action. Recently this
remedy was actually put forth
by Grigsby in his Liv-ver-lax.
Liv-ver-Lax is a harmless
vegetable compound designed
solely for the treatment of liv
er complaints. The immediate
I favor it has met with in thous
ands of homes is postive proof
of its real value.
If you feel worn out, tongue
coated, and skin sallow, don't
delay until it becomes danger
ous, nip the trouble in the bud
! with Liv-Ver-Lax. Insist in the
genuine, bearing the signature
and likeness of L. K. Grigsby
which is guaranteed to give
satisfaction or money refunded
