Fuel for this town this year has not cost less than double what it
usually
does. We have been suffering from a coal famine and had to burn
wood
or go cold. All because a useless nuisance of a mill dam is in
the
river at Glenville. We are compelled at best to pay 17 cents per
bushel for coal, at least double what it ought to cost on account of
that
obstruction. To be fenced out entirely is a little too strong
for
our patience. If ever a mob was justified it certainly would be
to
go and tear out that old dam. We are a christian and not in the
least
addicted to profanity, but it is difficult to write on this subject
and
keep the dam in the proper place. Bro. Channing, where is
your railroad? |
