Under the head of "Chelsea" in the news
items OF Brattleboro Reformer some chron
ic kicker has been exercising all his pow
ers OF imagination and poor grammar, try
i ING To convince somebody Tor something)
that a certain electric railroad article
which appeared in the HERALD few
4 weeks since, was a gross misstatement or,
as he saws, ssa misleading piece OF work"
This person does not, however, set forth
any facts or figures in support OF his state
ment, believing evidently that the Few
/ who might chance to read his items would
| AT once fall in with his views, without
considering the matter further. His re-
marks upon this subject are not all; he ev-
| identity fakes pleasure in slurring every
thing which relates to the welfare OF Chei-
sea. The drinking fountain which the
ladies have worked so hard to secure,
comes in for share of his sarcasm. he
sets up a one man rule in the Republican
party of Chelsea and then proceeds TO con
denim one man rule and very kindly ad-
! yises "brother Republicans" as he calls
them, as we'll as Democrats, to "look out
for traps" In fact this correspondent is
a marvel. a man in class by himself, and
while we do not know who he is, nor do
we care to know, we feel that it is very
small business for man to 'throw mud
at ANYTHING and everything which tends
to benefit the citizens of, and to oulld up
the town in which he lives.
The party that has been camping at
lake Morey has returned and very pleas
