Too Much Society"
Snow HILL. Nh. June 18th.

oNVW 1uuG hotu.
Messrs. Editors
read your editorial of last week on
Snow Hills boom and was very much
gratified with your recommendation OF a
Board Of Trade for the town, for we do
need some kind OF an organization of
business men who will look out for new
factories. But there Is one thing that you
neglected TO mention and that Is the un-
dcniablc aversion Of many poor people in
our midst TO do work. They have been
brought up to he ashamed Of manual Ia.
bor and seemingly prefer to go without
many Of the little luxuries every poor
workingman may have rather than soil
their hands at work. Sensible people de.
plore this state of affairs and the writer
sees so much Of Il that he would like to
see the tide turn In the other direction. Is
not this partly the fault Of those who are
able To live without work? If these will,
they can be Of great benefit to the poorer
class by setting them good examples For
instance II one Of our "solid" citizens
buys bunch of fish or makes other pur-
chases and he Is homcwanl bound let him
take his purchase In his hand and carry
II home instead Of hiring boy to go
ahead Of him. II will do him. no harm
but will do the poorer class much good
for they are initiative Of their richer
brother and sister, and will soon realize
that 10 be seen at work Is more honorable
than to be i,lling know Of poor wo-
man in the community, the wife Of man
who is compelled to work for living, who
holds her head up so high that she is
ashamed TO be seen with her broom.

stick her head out to watch for passcrs.
by Ms though she were committing some
crime instead Of showing 10 the world
that she was true wife and her intclli-
gcnce and character could carry her
through IL people did know she worked /;
We will do this one justice though to say
that she Is not the only one. There are
Others who think they are the supper
tens because Of the clothing they wear,

the same have been paid for or not. IIut
excuse me for dwelling ON this distastciul
subject so long and will close by asking
the people Of dear old Snow llill to east

down Ia common sense. and if we do have
more factories here let those who need
work go to work in them. Let those
