= We hear many complaints from farmers in
the surrounding neighborhood concerning depre
datons on their premises by soldiers, and fear
that serious difficulties may occur. We hope
trouble of this kind will be avoided in some way.
and that shooting will occur if it can possibly
be prev ented. If soldiers others want anything
that is plantation or in garden. the correct
plan is to 60 to the owner of the premises and
beg or buy it. AS general thing we think a
large majority of the soldiers in this neghborhood
arr disposed to do right, but few bad men can
do much harm,
1t is best in every way that good feeling should
exist between the citizens and soldiers.
