PAPER OF olrv ANo COUNTY
The Manchester and Oneida Ry. .,

The Manchester and Oneida Ry. 20
The people of Manchester have
learned valuable lesson during the
past few weeks. They have learned
the lesson of self. relisnce.: They have
learned that there is nothing to be
gained by depending upon Others to do
that which we can do ourselves.
Recent railroad developments have
brought home to Manchester people the
truth of the old fable Of the farmer
and the lark. The lark, it will be re-
membered, had a brood of little ones in
q wheat field, which had ripened before
it was convenient for them to move.
When the mother lark went away in
search of food, she charged the little
larks to listen and tell her all that they
heard thes farmer say during her alb.
sence.
The first day the farmer and his son
came. out and looked at the grain,
agreed that it was fit to cut, and that
they would go and invite their neigh
bors to come and help them harvest it
the following day. When the old lark
came back, the little ones told all that
they had heard; and she said to them:
.sLittle ones, we will not be disturbed
tomorrow" ~. -
And on the morrow when she went
abroad, she gave the same instructions
as on the previous day, and she was not
gone long when the farmer and his son
came out and stood around and waited,
and waited in vain for the coming Of
their neighbors. Towards evening the
little 'tlafks heard the farmer say:
"My son, our neighbors have disap-
pointed us, but Mr.. Jones knows all
about cutting grain, we will go and
hire him to cut0ur wheat tomorrow"
And when the old lark heard this, she
said: Little ones, we need not hasten
oiirlremoyal; the wheat will not be cut
tomorrow -sss-.-,,
And asthe old lark had predicted,
Jones did not come to cut the wheat,
although the little larks heard the
farmer say that he had agreed to do 80.
This was the third day and the grain
was nearing the danger line, but on
this day the little larks heard the farm
er say: "My son, our neighbors and our
employee have disappointed us, let us
go home and sharpen our own sickle:
and cut this wheat tomorrow" And
this the farmer and his son agreed thai
they would do. And on the third day wher
the old lark returned home and heard
that the farmer and his son had agreed
to do the work themselves, she said;
Little ones, now we must Co., the
wheat will be cut tomorrow" And tn,
wheat was cut -on the morrow, by the
farmer and his son, just as they hat
agreed that 1t would be. &
Manchester has been disappointed
more times than the farmer was, but
Manchester isat last alive to the neces
stiles of the situation and determined
to secure shipping facilities equal OF
superior to her neighbors.

ton have been filed and recorded il
