Some law should be passed in this
township to prevent the tramps from
making a wholesale raid for victuals,
on the charitable disposed residents of
this town, and Palmyra, as they have
done every previous spring, and in
fact are beginning to do already this
spring, as | will prove by disclosing
the way in which a gang of Migrants
operated in this town last week. Any
one who was out on the street last
Monday morning, will remember seeing
several tramps or beggars in different
parts of the town. They came into
the town about seven o'clock that
mornino in n BODY. until they were
within about 80 yards Of the station,
where they held a consultation, after
which they separated. Being anxious
to learn their object in so doing l
followed first one and then another of
the gang until the following scheme
was revealed. They would visit a
house and if successful in their request
for food, they would (frst being careful
to put the food in their pockets, take
careful survey of the house. After
they had canvassed the town thorough
ly they adjourned to the woods, having
collected enough food for the day. But
that is not all, the next morning they
were at work again Cor rather working
the people with their stories of sick
ness and distress) taking good care,
| however, to exchange streets, that is,
the one who was on Main street, went
on Lippincott ave-, and vice versa. 1t
was much easier this time, for their
eyes had served them well and by ex-
changing references they could easily
tell where charitable persons or those
who thought they were charitable
lived. The worked the same scheme
all the week, now if the newly elected
Office holders wish to show the people
that they appreciate the honor shown
them, by selecting them to fill the
offices, let them do something to rid us
of this nuisance, | would suggest that
notices to that effect be printed ano
tackled up at different points on the
outskirts of the two towns.
