Subscibers should bear in
mind that a “dun” is not an im
peachment of their integrity,
but simply an outcropping of a
publisher’s necessity. For in
stance, several hundred owe
him from one to four dollars
each. It is a small amount to
each ndividual, but to him the
aggregate is large. If you re
receive a statement telling you
are in arrears, don’t fly off the
handle and want to cut off the
editor's head. It has been along
time since we have seen one,
but we are still able to recog

REWARD OF COURTESY
, From little sprouts big trees
will often grow.
We trample upon the sprouts
of today and gaze with admir
ation upon the giants that were
sprouts of a former generation.
And it is much the same in
community affairs. We think
too much of the ending and not
enough of the beginning. We
overlook the little things of to
day which have in them the
making of tomorrow.
This tendency of human na
ture is strikingly illustrated in
the case of a gentleman who
had occasion to spend a week
iin h f'fi'taju founti" to" u. and
i was remarkably impressed by
the uniform courtesy shown
him by the citizens of the place.
If he was Interested in any
i
thing- pertaining to the commu
nity or any enterprise, a dozen
men were ready with informa
tion and explanations, pointing
out the various advantages,and
with always a good word for
the people, i hey made him wel
come.
A few weeks later while
traveling in another state he
met a manufacturer who was in
search of a change of location
for his plant. He mentioned the
place he had recently visited,
and spoke in glowing terms of
the people, their characteristics,
and especially of their courtesy
to the stranger within their
gates.
The manufacturer was much
impressed, and a few days lat
er visited the place. He is there
now, with his factory and his
150 employes
Truly, a man's tongue has a
wonderful influence upon the
future of his own town
Is there a lesson in it for us?
