I've been here for thirty years, and durihg that time I've fought every public improve ment. I've knocked everything and everybody, no firm or indi vidual has estao'ished a business here "without my doing all 1 could to put them out of business. I've lied about them, and would have stolen from them if I had the courage. I have done all I could to keep tbe town from growing and never have spoken a good word for it I've knocked hard and often. I've put ashes on the children's slide and I've made the marshal stop the boys playing ball on my vacant lot. Whenever I saw anyone prosper ing or enjoying themselves I've started a reform to kill the busi ness or spoil the fun. I dontwant the young folks to stay in thia town and I will do all I can by law, rnle and ordinance to drive, them away. It pains me, .0 Lord, to see that in spite of my knock Ing it is beginning to grow. Some day I fear I will be called upott to put down sidewalns in frontof my property and who' knows but what I may bave to help keep up the streets that rnn by my premises? This, Lor 1, would be more than I could bear. It would cost me money, though all I have was made right here in this town. Then, too, more people might come If the town- begins to grow, which wonld cause me to lose some of my poll, f ask there fore, to keep this town at a standstill, that I may continue to WRITES FROM P.
