We noticed with regret an ar
tile or poem recently published
upon the Little village of Able
vile. We can see nothing that
is to be gained by such a trade
of ridiculous nonsense, but on the
other hand regard this as unfair
and unjust to this good people
These people we have always held
in high esteeme; they are honest,
cultured and hospitable and to be
held cut TO the world in such style
we deem an unwarranted med
ding with their affairs. Other
places much larger than Able
vile do not see tit TO invest all
their moneyin asphalt streets and
costly boulevards, yet this is their
business, and besides this it is a
Democratic principle to allow
communities TO run their own
business of this character to suit
themselves. Such illusions were
better left unsaid.
