"To the Editors of the South Simcoe Times.

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."
