THE LONDONDERRY SITTER

The daily papers of Wednesday am
nounced the appointment of A. {,
Gibson as postmaster at So. London
derry, This is very satisfactory to the
Republicans for two reasons. LIST. Mr..
Gibson four years ago, when he wanted
the postoffice in his store at the north
village, announced himself a good Re
publican, and he was so known until
Cleveland was elected and he appeared
with petition for the postoilice in this
place, So his Democracy is not very
deep in fact, he is accused of being Il
Democrat for postoflice only. Then
his store partner, who will share with
him the spells Of the Office, is dyed
in-the-wool Reppblicm-and he, by
the way, is the man OF the establish
ment, the one who runs the concern.
So to all intents and purposes the post
office practically goes into Republican
hands, just as it did eight years ago
I'd. Last fall the Democratic vote in
this town was the largest ever east
This was brought about by the in
fluence of Republicans in this end o
town who had become disguised witt
ring management. These men werC
opposed to Gibson and begged of tn,
party to assert itself by appointing ;
solid Democrat postmaster, and ont
who would not put the office in Re
publican store. They have made thei
answer-have said that they wanted n
help in Londonderry-and they vii
probably be gratified.
So through the postoffice, the Re
publicans of Londonderry will be so
idifed and the Democrats will dro
down to their. old so or 80 votes i
indeed, they do not go lower. So W
end as we began, this appointment
satisfactory to Republicans, and the
don't care continental if a few oil
line Democrats are mad-they shout
o., ,
) not belong to party whose 'higl
est ambition is to be a tender to tt
Vermont Republican machine.

JUNE,

BY l., A. BALLou.
Now comes the lovely scenes,
The leafy month of June,
When screen doors and window screens
Are in their fullest bloom.
When corn delights in the sort of nights
That girls kick of the clothes,
The mosquitoes wing foretells his sting
And breaks their sweet repose.
When the farmer doth for want OF breath
Pulls off his boots and hose,
And at his work through dust and dirt
Most cheerily he goes,
When night has come and prayers are
done,
He creeps beneath the sheet
But his old frow kicks up row,
And makes him wash his feet.
Then down the stairs a swearing pray
ers,
And thus he frees his mind,
If this is the pay get when | pray,
I'll try the other kind.

A Letter of Local Interest.

Editor Sitter: When I came away
from Vermont forty years ago, Dr. Hol-
ton said to me, sit is all right for you to
go West, but you will find out in time
that our kind Heavenly Father has dis
tributed his gifts more evenly than you
may now think" On my recent visit to
the scenes of my childhood it seemed at
first that DIR. Holton was mistaken judg
ing from the returns from farming in
Vermont, and the consequent deprecia-
ton in farm property, with present meth
DDS of farming. When / left my Iowa
home in April apples were very scarce as
well as soft and poor On reaching YER
mont found the same variety, Baldwins,
were good and solid. My family were
surprised at the nice ones l brought back
with me- Here in the West tree must
have the very best of care to keep it alive
until it is old enough to bear and then it
lives but few years, while in Vermont
/ found orchards that were bearing forty
years ago, are healthy yet. Most of the
land used for orchards in the West is
worth from $50 to 800 per acre and
therefore apple raising is very expensive
as well as unsatisfactory and pear raising
an impossibility. If there were good
supply elsewhere they would soon give
up the business here. Now what is to
hinder the rocky hill sides on the east side
of the Green mountains which are now
useless from becoming valuable to their
owners if they were stocked with good
grated, winter fruit !? They are now
adopting this branch of industry in billy
parts of Maine with great success finan-
cially, and you are nearer the western
market than they are. The first thing
would be for some one to start nursery
and not depend on buying tree. They can
be raised as well in Londonderry or ia
maica as anywhere and would be much
better than those shipped in from another
locality. learn from one nursery man
here that CRAFTS grated from the root
may be obtained from Rochester, N. Y,
at $500 per 1000 and perhaps there may
be nearer supply. There is vast
country here unable to produce its own
fruit, but abundantly able to buy. Iowa
alone could consume all that Vermont
could produce. With these ideas in mind
l can believe that DIR. Holtons words to
me were true
