Editor SUter;-Having been ask
ed about twenty times in the last few
days how / stood on the county build
ing business ! thought, prehaps, it
would save questions and time to say
through your paper that l am earnest
ly opposed to the removal of the
county seat and buildings from New
fame, and will do, wherever l am, all
! can to prevent it. | am well salts
fed that our county buildings are as
good as we need and as good if not
better than they will average through
the state, and very pleasantly situa-
ted to accommodate the people of Wind
ham County, and | have no desire to
make the taxes of these towns any
higher than they are now. Whatever
is for the best interest of the farmers
of this county must be mine for from
them all other kinds of business live.
Yours respectfully,
