I found this with the manuscript for a book by Lloyd Whitehead about the history of Modoc, Indiana.

Taken from the "Broadcaster", Concordia College, Seward, Nebraska:
Thank God For Small Towns:
You know a town is small when.....
The polka is more popular than disco on Saturday night.
Third street is on the edge of town.
Every sport is played on dirt.
You don't use your turn signals because everyone knows where you are going.
You know you're in a small town when.....
You are born on June 15th and your family receives gifts from the local merchants because you are
the first baby of the new year.
You speak to each dog by name and he wags at you.
You dial the wrong number and talk for fifteen minutes anyway.
You are run off Main street by a combine.
You know you're in a small town when.....
You can't walk for exercise because every car that passes you offers you a ride.
You get married and the local paper devotes a quarter page to the story.
You drive into the ditch five miles out of town and word gets back before you do.
You know you're in a small town when.....
The biggest business in town sells farm machinery.
You write a check on the wrong bank and it covers you.
You miss a Sunday at church and receive a get-well card.
Someone asks you how you feel and listens to what you say.
Thank God for small towns.....and people who live in them.
