To my old friend Stacy, of the Burlington
Free Press:-
What liar Grand Isle County" is,
friend Stacy. don't mean the county of
Grand Isle, nor the people that live in it,
but the man that calls himself "Grand Isle
County" in the Sentinel of week before
last. Now know the man, and so far is
he from being the whole of Grand Isle
County, he is but mere drop in the buck
ct, and it seems to be pity that he was
was ever dropped in the land of the living.
His real name sounds more like q roaring
beast, going up and down, seeking whom
he cant find nobody to cheat than it does
like "Grond Isle County" Now this man
of the Sentinel is really nobody but pet
tifogging lawyer that came TO stay with
us some two or three years ago, and is as
mad as hen with her head cut off because
he cant get any business. Our good PEG
pie made no business for him, so he resolved
to kick up a dust and make business for
himself The first dust he kicked up, he
kicked an old woman and was fined four
dollars and the costs for it, which made
business enough for him for about three
months. He next ,ohipped up a dust, by
whipping female child, two and half
years old, till the poor creatures body was
as black as his character, and he is now
bound over to our next County Court to
answer for it, and the child has judgment
against him for S45, damages and COST
This will probably make business for him
year or two more, and will enttle him to
the "Knight of the whipping post" instead
of"Grand Isle County" Now friend Sta
cy, if this don't set well on "Grand Isle
County's" stomach, should recommend
him to call on Dr.Stearns and get two box
es of Lees pills, and a bottle of Anderson's
Cough Drops, and 60 over and vote for the
tories, and his cure will be radical.
