LIZARD TO FIND"

to Find" Some people whose views cor. respond with mine have expressed an urgent desire that should keep on ham. mering away and not get discouraged l Therefore I seat myself once more to hammer away on some of these things 90 hard to find." The old woman said she was glad that all people didn't think alike, for if people all thought alike they would all want her husband. Now if all the women wanted one man it would be worse state of things than it would to seat polygamist in Congress. So it IS good thing that we do not look alike, act alike, or think alike, and from the bottom of my heart am thankful that don't live any nearer the village where there are so many things "Hard to find" some of which believe have been gotten over the Devils back.
 And 1t looks to me as if the taxpayers of this town are to be imposed upon again, for the Reporter says that John l Martin Is "bound to have another road, D after the legal voters publicly told him oy an honest vote that they didn't want the road. On my way to Southbury MT Martin called to me and told me what he was doing and what he intended to do. Therefore sit here tonight to Inform and warn the legal voters and taxpayers of the town of Woodbury what they must meet sooner or later, for Mir Martin told me that when he had finished what he called his share of the road he was going to ask the town to complete 1t, and if the town refused to build the road he should sue the town, and 1t would not do any good for me to oppose it for he should have the road. One of our best fin anciers told me that the town had better buy the farm than build the road. can find several people that will build few rods of road If the town will complete il and keep It in repair, but is it policy for town heavily in debt to build and keep ln repar roads to accommodate 8 few private individuals? If MT Martin wants to advertise his farm why doesn't he do 1t through the local paper and help the poor editor, and if he is anxious to help accommodate the public, then instead of going way down to the south part of the town why doesn't he come farther north and get near the center of the town, and follow the main, direct road from Hotch. Kissville to Waterbury that some of our mllkmen are obliged to travel seven days in week?
 Judge Huntington said in our last an- nual town meeting that he would be re- sponsible for all damage done where he had put any curbstones, but don't be. lIeve that the judge would hold himself responsible for the necks that are broken, wagons that are ruined, or milk that has been split by not having suitable railings Go keep teams from going off the en- ] bankment.
 Now If Mir Martin Is really anxious to l benefit his own native town why doesn't he improve a road that is already built and paid for? Farmers haven't much time to fish until they raise the money for the additional tax that the bond. holders and non-taxpayers voted last fall; besides farmers could save time and get few fish at the north part of the lake if they could only have a road suita- ble for mule to travel over. If one-half of the money could be wisely used on the main, direct road from Hotchkissville to Waterbury that it would take to com- plete the road that the Reporter says John Martin Is bound to have, there wouldn't be any more complaint about the main, direct road from Hotchkissville to Waterbury, and above all, there wouldn't be any additional roads to fence and keep in repair; therefore I would like to say to person that threatens to sue a town, heavily in debt, don't like his route to Waterbury or the way he is taking to frighten poor taxpayers to build road they don't want. Therefore before he undertakes to compel his owr native town to complete a road that he has planned and marked out, I think II would be wise for him to listen to the advice and council of the Great Law giver and "sit down and count the cost, or the road that he is "bound to have may terminate similar to the petition ht wanted me to sign that has stirred thu whole town from center to circumference If these q don't know what name thu Lord would call them) that have thous ands of dollars at interest would ex change places with those who have tt borrow money and pay interest believe they would see things in different light, as the great and powerful king of Baby lon did after Jehovah dethroned him auG turned him out to pasture, to eat grasI like an OK until his hairs were grown si eagles feathers and his nails as birds claws. believe that there are people living at the close of this 18th century (and some of them are not from Wood bury village) that need 8 little of Neb uchadnezzar's experience, for If they lived on plainer diet they wouldn't hay, the gout, especially if they used theil muscles more and brains less, and afte, s'seven times had passed ever them or seven years of plain diet and exercis' of their muscles Onstead of brains) thel would begin to see things in the Ugh that the great and powerful king of Bab ylon did when his reason returnsd to hin and he "began to break off his sin by righteousness and his iuiquities b. showing mercy to the poor"
 If MT Martin wants better road to hi farm and few pleasure seekers want al easier road to go q fishing, why don they initiate the generous and noble ex ample of the person that has done s much for Middlebury by putting his han, into his own (instead of the poor tax payer's) pocketbook and building good nice roads, and then give dollar fo leverv dollar the town raises for improve
