HAYVILLE ATTACKS US.
Representative Prom That Burg Oh
jccts to Our Legislative Report.

| The gentleman IRON iiayyiile, an mag
mary legislator whose diary appears
daily IN the Rutland Herald, thinks The
| heiofners legislative correspondent IL
too ding blasted iaceous,' as will be
seen by the following entry:
Us farmers don Z claim 10 be no smarter
than We oughta, but reckon We nam got
10 put up with no such nonCents a. what
was printed III the Brattleboro Reform.
cr. Mebby that teller thinks he done a
smart thing putting that piece IN, but
know two members certin who's gong TO
stop there paper and | reckon they won I
be much money IN II Tor that smart edl.

think it's simply ridIclus TO say he
don't know whether Us members Is ami.
mails or vegetables. Iaint right. They
oughta be law to stop them editors
IRON printing such stuff. Iaint no prop
er thing TO put IN newspaper where
children might read 1t. It's getting 80
they hain't no respect for old nor young
and newspapers they don't help none,
neither.
Us members don't care nothing about
1t. We consider where it comes from.
About all you might expect of a demo
crat. Them democrats don't know moth
ing about legislature. They don't get no
chance. They hain't been democrat
lected from Hayvilie for more than Is
year and they won't be neither, not while
4 run the town.
Presume that editor thought it was
real bright to say some OF us members
had moss growing on our faces and some
grass. Whatever crop We raise it grows
in good honest sile and we hain't raised
no smallpox up TO Montpelier. Moss and
grass is dern sight more ornamental than
what lot of them Bratteboro folks
grows on there faces. We bain't none of
us farmers been sent home for braking
out OF quarantine-not yet, even il our
names hain't spelt with Glib.
| see a piece in the Herald yesterday
saying all us members was thinking OF
was our own town. Jumping gooseber-
res, what does he spose we oughta think
OF, some other town. ] ben sent up here
to repsent my town and by grab | rekon
IN agoing to do it, not some other town
or what them big cities wants. Good of
the state OF Vermont, dern lunkhead,
haint they more small towns than big
ones in this state and haint what helps
the small town gong to help the state?
Dern nice mess US members would get
into If we followed OF what them editors
said. ! notice they hain't nanny of them
editors ever lected to repsent there town. |
Shows how much confidence there friends
got in them.
I'm getting most tired out with this
stringing along legislature till after !
Christmas. Us members been fussing |
round here for two months and can't |
seem to get nothing. done. Too many |
them dern orators want to make |
speeches and swell round. Bout time to
get going and do suthin. Folks to home
are getting anxious.
