"To the Editors of the South Simcoe Times. Five months of the year are gone, and yet no indication of any attempt to forward the erection of the building, although the means to do so are said to be at hand.

If they so think, there is one who will do what he can to "lave them at home," undisturbed for the remainder of their natural lives, for as sure as Jupiter forges thunderbolts, not a soul of them will ever control the affairs of the village hereafter, if it can, with the help of others beside himself, be prevented by Terence O'Know-You0Don't Bradford, May 3, 1862."
