"COMFORT YE MY PEOPLE"
As an alarmist Rob Roy takes the bun.
He has made more fuss over that shoe fac
tory in the last issue of the Reporter than
the whole town has since its establishment
here. Now, Mr.. Roy and Mr.. Gould, it
is not my intention to report anything
Objectionable or derogatory to our busi-
ness firms. / admire Mr.. Gould's efforts
to get established here, and have noticed
his sitting out of undesirable characters
from his shop with pleasure. In short, l
consider that he takes proper interest IN
| the towns welfare But | don't know Of
any issue OF the Bellows Falls TINES that
had the article you refer to, Rob. There
were three separate references to Mr..
Davis in the issue of Saturday. August y
hut in none was the word shoe-shop OF
shoemaker mentioned. 1t is possible thai
at the time of his escapade he was sci
down as having been employed at the shoe
factory; but I don't remember now ano
haven't the time to look it up for you
And it also occurs to me that the Reporter
also said he had worked there and at the
shoddy mill and other places, but l haven
heard that Mr.. Slack felt hurt.

special feature, except its onesidednes
Bellows Falls had a good team. but /
4 weakness was in not playing togethe
The home team is almost perfect in this r
D spect and gives the battery perfect suppo
b all the time. The out field, Hlnckle, Du
ham and Odette, did their duty, each pu
? ling down two baggers. The fine in6elt
0 ing of Dusham the entire season is wortf
of more than passing notice. He know
where the ball is all the time and Ssturds
j made two baggers. Reynolds, S:earl
