The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1911-03-03

weak after marching all day in a cloud OF
dust, or sticky, slippery mud, and lying on
the ground at night with no protection
from the rain but a rubber blanket and
cartridge box for pillow. Those were
times that made us think of home. We
left good bed and board for $13 month.
The rigid discipline was what kept us in
the line of duty without any regard to suf-
fering and danger. We learned to do just
We We're continually under orders. There
was call to get up, call for breakfast,
call for the surgeon, call for guard
duty, call for fatigue duty and drill and
dinner and dress parade and supper, and
at 8 p. m. taps for lights out, not an hour
could we call our own. 1t requires both
love and duty to protect the flag that is
dear to us.
When we enlisted we were kept a short
time at the Brattleboro rendezvous getting
ready to go to the front. When waiting
for the train and taking the final leave Of
our friends was the time we wished to ap-
pear brave and strong, but almost invaria-
bly, We were troubled with frog in the
throat" We often hear the complaint
made by the Economically inclined that
this is a prosaic age, that the day OF
chivalrous deeds has gone forever, and we
must look backward for things that in
Splre tne HlnQ Win nlgn lQedlS 10 heroic
acts. Is this true? We hardly think so.
Physical courage is tried in another way
than in the days when great armies were
trying to annihilate each other If this
country. had Legion of Honor its roster
would have been filed in the last few
months. One dispatch brings word that
boy scarcely in his teens saved three 9TH
ers from watery grave and then tried to
hide his identity. At Newport, r. l., Ida
Lewis, keeper of the Lime Rock lighthouse,
put to sea in an open row boat at the
height of a storm and saved five girls
drifting oceanward in an open boat. Only
a few weeks ago Engineer Andrew Horn
of Jersey City, at the throttle of his en-
CINE was struck in the eye with piece Of
flying glass. The sight Of an eye was ex-
instantly, but despite the pain
the intrepid engineer stuck to his post and
brought in his train safely and then went
to the hospital. There are heroes on every
side of us and this is as heroic an age as
any other.
The G. A.. R. post are planning to OBJ

The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1911-03-03

Some 81 800 were spent in extending
drainage ON Western avenue, Oak, Forest
Elliot, Flat, Canal, Organ, Washington
Central, Highland, and Pine streets: This
drainage was seriously needed and will
prove of great value where it has been in
stalled
Liberal Improvements were made on the
Dummeston hill road, to which the people
in that section subscribed literally. West
River road was improved with two sections
Of gravel. Nearly 81 900 was spent to mn
prove the Putney road. Four hundred dol
lars were spent for gravel on Algiers road.
One.half mile of state work was laid on
Vernon road. Sections of tarvia road
work were laid on Flat street, North Main
street, a section by the Retreat buildings,
and section on Green street.
Enough experimenting was entered INTO
with road oil last season to demonstrate
that with modern appliances for applying
the dust layer, no better known means
can be used to eliminate the dust nuisance
in a practical manner and at a reasonable
expense.
A little new tar walk was laid. The tar
work was confined largely to repairs OF old
work. Cement walks were built on Canal
street, Homestead Place, Horton, and
Chestnut streets. believe it should be our
policy to replace the tar walks with Gem
ent as fast as renewals are necessary. The
cement walks may cost more to build, but
their longer and more satisfactory service
will prove to be better economy. We have
many walks in bad repair and would
recommend liberal appropriation for
their Improvement and extension.
In conclusion | would call attention TO
the poor condition of Main and Elliot
streets, also the urgent need of good
surfaced road on Western avenue With
the urgent need of more work in some Of
the outlying sections of the town there is
barely possibility of entering upon these
street improvements without special ap-
preparation.
If these street improvements are to be
taken up from the general fund it means
neglect of other important work for want
of funds. / believe the tax payers should
fully understand these matters and act
upon their best judgment in the. matter at
the annual meeting rather than leave it to
the Judgment of my successor, who may
possess ordinary human judgment, but
even if he had supernatural Judgment he
would come far short Of pleasing all the
people.
| wish to thank all my agents who have
faithfully helped to maintain the roads the
past years; also the selectmen for their
counsel and support at all times.

HERoIsM NOT OBSOLETE.
Deeds of Bravery as Common Now al
They Were in the Days Of Chivalry.


The great English scientist, Lord Kel-
vim, made the remark that whatever we
prophesy of the future it will not be like
the past. As We review the past generations
we find they have given us the car on
which we ride over the land, the ships on
which we cross the seas, the flag that flies
above us, the schools that open to the
young the books we read. We are now As
years away from the civil war which was
distressing calamity to our country, We
learn useful lessons by experiences of the
past to guide us in the future. Many good
people regard all wars as needless in the
sense that they have produced no good re-
suits which might not have been reached
in peaceful ways; all men are agreed that
many wars have been useless.
When | see our flag it reminds me OF sol
diers and when | see school children they
remind me of schools, also the flag Several
years ago heard colored man preach.
In his opening remarks he gave history
of his life-how he was born a slave: When
he learned that freedom had come his one
desire was to go to school. de heard that
there was a school for colored boys down
the river and he managed to get aboard
steamer as a stowaway and reached the
city and school that was helping poor col
ored boys to get an education. As he call
ed at the school building on the hill he
was told that there was no room for more
boys, so he sold papers on the street and
got q little money to buy bootblack out,
fit. A dry goods box was his home. And
finally there was chance to attend the
school. After these remarks he gave an
eo,sness. l relate this little story for the
benefit of school boys that do not have all
the money they want when going to school.
A love OF books and thirst for knowledge
is more than money. While Grant was
president General G. Z. Pickett, who led
the fatal charge against the union forces
at Gettysburg, called at the white house to
pay his respects. Grant knew that the war
had made his old West Point comrade a
poor man, and offered him the marshall
ship Of Virginia. You cannot afford ,t t ts 40
n for ne he cs sa a ad to d ssn any aGns
/ please that is right" Grant replied
quietly. No man has any right to demand
any better government than he himself is
willing to contribute to effect. There has
been too much talk of rights and too little
thought of duty from the cradle to the
grave. We have shouted for our. rights,
but as to our duties we have talked in
whispers. There is no right without cor
duty. 1t is false and super
fetal view that sees only the intense act,
to the unprecedented activity and agrees
siveness of the forms Of good.
Let us not be discouraged. Let us turn
a deaf ear to all false prophets preaching
new doctrines. We need no new moral
codes. We need no old-fashioned morals |
for new-fashioned times. Love for the flag
and the principle of liberty and Justice
that it represents was the sentiment that |
caused the north to form the great union
army. The first thing we learned in the
military service was obedience and duty. |
Sometimes love for country became little

become more urgent with an increase OF
industrial population. The progress in

mains to be accomplished. There has been

than Is years without taking up and its
condition can be better imagined than de-
scribed. The building should have
vacuum cleaning system for constant use.
Brattleboro's water supply system has
proved to be ample under the very severe
test of the past winter and the quality is
such that it is perfectly safe for domestic
use.
The milk supply is ample and the quality
considerably above the legal requirement.

Report of oyerseer Of Poor.

Ii. f. Weatherhead, overseer Of poor,
says:
A glance at the expense account for our
town poor will convince the taxpayers that
in the future we can no longer keep with
in our usual appropriation. Growth in
population is sure to bring more numerous
demands and consequently a steady !. in
crease in expenses Destitution in families,
sickness, deaths, quarantine cases and the
expense of supporting several patients at
the Retreat (Which by good rights should
be borne by the state) are conditions
which have been met during the past year.
It has been necessary for me to call upon
the Mutual Aid association to furnish
either helpers or nurses in many cases. Ny
observation has convinced me that the
good work done by this organization in as
sisting the needy cannot be overrestimated.
With appreciation and thanks for the eff
forts of Mr.. and Mrs. Birch at the farm,
tertainment Christmas time, l now give
over this work to my successor.
