Mfr. Editor. Far be II from me, to dis
turb the ashes Of the buried dead, but /
wish TO say few words about the lieiag
dead men of this old place. There are q
number Of such in and around the old
/ town.
The readers of the Recorder may not
know that there are dead men walking a.
round, so will describe some Of them 50
that when they meet they may recognize
them.
Firstcome the Crackers, who cannot, or
will not encourage any enterprise, but
croak at every thing started in the place,
reminding one Of an old English Abbey
left In possession ola lot Of Ravens.
Nextar those who are like terrapins
drawn up In shell Of selfishness and who
never come out OF the shell unless driven
out by coal Of fireapplied to their backs,
a. the boys do to make q terrapin show
signs Of vitality.
Then there are some so dead that they
won't even spend their money at home,
N"N oSita ~ out w VIC utcbElUuteu every
where else, whose sugar coffee and even
-four have to be ordered, whose clothes
cannot be made to fit, unless made some
where else, who can see nothing at home
enjoyable-who can patronize nothing at
home, and who would not stay at home
themselves lift were not for the economy
Of doing so.
Another class of dead men are the lazy
ones Of the town, who would soon be bu-
ried dead men lit required any exertion
to breathe; fortunate it is for them that
their lungs will breathe themselves.
/ All these are dead men, Mr.. Editor, and
will destroy the prosperity Of any place
My object is to try to resuscitate some Of
them, to get interested in Hillsboro and
Its surroundings; to influence them to take
hold Of the wheels and try to shove the
old town out Of the bottom OF adversely
and land 1t safely on the hill OF prosperity.
Some day shall write to you again for
/ wish to tell you something about the la
dies Of Hillsboro. A happy new year.
Jan. 21S72. VIATOR.
