Town Officers, March 7, 1826
The noble men of that day knew they could not grow rich without industry, and valiantly did they make the wilderness resound with the echoes of toil, as the tall old trees came crashing down upon the right hand and left, laid low by the sturdy woodman's axe! Even with their privations, they were measurably comfortable and happy.
