Pewts father to come down and put in a new pane
of glass. and he came down before i went to school.

of the town. Pewts father sed he callated it wood

crime rammpent
The waive of crime that has broaken out in our
comunety is one that deserves the repribation of
every wirthy citisen haveing the welfair of our town
at hart. the unpreceedented boldness of the miss
creants is sutch as reminds one verry forceably of
the why ohs of New York that infaimus band of
ruffans that plunged the city of New York into a
riot of criminality that bid fair to rival the orgies
of Roam under the rane of Nero.
we have jest been regoiceing in the convicksion
of the ring leeders of the band of garrotters that
has terrorfide the naboring city of Boston when
we are confrunted with a serious of crimes in our
own town that bid fair to rival the wirst of the
above mensioned atrosities.
the cowerdly assault upon our wirthy sittizen mister
William Hobbs a man whose mennifoaled and
sterling trates of carackter intitle him to a very
high rank as a cittisen. the dasterdly attact up on
mister Biley J. Tilton whose open handed jennorosity
has done so mutch to maik his naim ornnered
in this community. the repperhensibel nature of
their warning to mister Isak Shute a man whose
jenerous wirth and moddist life has indeered him
to evryone, the coarse thret to mister J. Albert
Clark whose kinliness and good deads are as well
knone as his finanshal ability and probbity, are sutch
as maik the blud of evry onnest man boil in their
vanes.
it is indeed time that the ofisers of the law take
the most astringint measures to deteck and stamp
out the hoal infernal brood.
when father come hoam tonite he redd it and
laffed and sed i wunder what dam fool rote that.
ennyone with branes enuf to fill a thimbel had augt
to know that nobudy is going to be hirt. the fellers
that tide up that mud tirtles mouth aint going to
hirt ennyone. the moar the fools talk about it the
moar the fellers that are doing it are going to do
it sum moar.
