AZ NoN.REslDE NJ" Some astute in
dividual has made the discovery that we
are not resident Of Addison County !
This is rather strange. as we purchased
property here some eight years ago,
moved here and settled down qnctly;got
married and located home here,
and have always gone on voting and pay
ing our taxes here, up to this moment,
without our right to live here being once
called in question The fact that our
family" has been accustomed, in the
summer, to spend few weeks on a visit
at her old paternal "home," probably
gave rise to this small specimen of pucr.
ility. Our home, and TINT of our fam.
ily," is here, as every one knows aud
is likely to be here, for aught we know,
while we live. Our personal property is
taxed here, and if we have farm "
elsewhere that is matter which chiefly
concerns as, and not any citizen of Yer
genncs
by The way, to what cx,rcmitics must
not desperate opponent be reduced, to
resort to such an impcrtincnt informed
ding with our private affairs Any
person, having common information on
the subject, knows that, our family 1"
having been here the great part of the

E Mr. Warmers organ approves
his report in favor OF the bill repeating
the law allowing a deduction on the
grand list of personal property for debts
owed. II is just such bill as we might
expect men of his class to 60 for; aud
the people are thus given plainly to un.
derstand how he will vote on the subject,
if elected. The Citizen thinks the pros.
pect of passing such bill is decidedly
good.
