Dear Sir:
After patiently waiting an<ij

the public well fare I am again nioov-1

tie space in your columns of your |
excellent paper that 1 may give my I
views in rugard to the management j
of the public afairs of our town and
county:
I am a c itizen and tax payer of ,
both town and county and have been
intimate and in close touch # with
these afairs for more than forty
years and daring this time 1 have
held several minftr < Tficn- and have
spent the best part of my life in of- J
fjreal or semi-official. I have ever
had a deep interest in the public |
economy has been my rule of action. I
and without beinu tc tist c I r
disposed to boast I believt that I
can say that I have had to hear the j
brunt in whatever position I held.
iind have received 1? - consideration!
for the services endered than othe?-,
for similar work. My ambition has
been to see our public a/faris. on a I
firm basis, aud deb? imiinished
But as often have I . -if ?

we have a law that requires the pub
lie officials of the county and town

of the receipts and disbursements
for the proceeding yea . including
outstanding debts if any

it mu^t be either posted

t'his law is mandatory and not discretionary.
it must be either posted
or published as the case may be.
litis is a wise provision of law. 1 he
tax payers have a right to kinw the
state of their affairs. Tublicitv is
the life of civil government; it is

it i-= the wachman that guards

flee and seek refuge in darkless.
We are commanded to let
mi lights shire and not t<? put them
mder a bushel. In the beginning'
God created light and he said it was
very good
The law requiring publicity is being
ignored by our public offii ials
both county and town. Thi. should
no longer - t-derated. 1 sometime
wor.de: what fit and juries are
for any way. \ll officials on en.

laws an-! a failure to do so is
no credit to them and is bad faith:

Heavy Coughs.
Why be annoyed and weakened by
persistent, strength-sapping coughin
spells when you can, through a very
simple treatment, quickly stop all ntation
and very often banish the trouble
entirely in 24 hours?
1 This treatment is based on the famous
prescription known as Dr. King's
i New:Discovery for Coughs. You take
just one teaspoonful at bed time :.nd
hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 sec'
bnda before swalMwir.g it. The pre

irritation, b?MC*q<il^kly removes the
phlegm and obhh<ftRfGt& which arc the
real cause ofjttghtvocmghing. Thus
with the throat aohLhed and cleared,
coughing stops qu^Jy and you sleep
all night undisturbed;
Dr. King's New Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds, sore throat, hoarseness.
