HAVERHILL GUARDIAN ll James E Hobbs

This effort, #227, covers a variety of topics, stories, complaints, irritations, etc, about Woodsville and Haverhill, New Hampshire, including such topics as History ... Fact or Fiction, Early Travel, I hear the train a comin', Early News Papers, the Select Board, Historical Society, Heritage Commission, Powder House Hill, Gazetteers, Wars, The Cummings Trial, War of the Union, Train Wrecks, A Water Story, History or Hysterical, Worms and Pigeons and other controversial items! I am financing this magazine because I realize businesses do not want to have their ad on a page containing controversial information. And, that is understanding. That is, however why towns like ours are being taken over by those too lazy to work, drug dealers and thieves and those who walk away from houses that fill with rats, skunks, Raccoons and now a fox that is parading around the dilapidated building near our library. I guess the fox is a premature guard. These buildings are magnates for children and the day is note far in the future when one of them gets bitten. Hopefully the parents sue the town as a wakeup call! Residents that do not speak up deserve to have their homes not only devaluated, but difficult to even sell, if they are beside one of these abandoned wild kingdoms! I am a retired Gemologist with 80 years of Haverhill mud on my shoes! I have earned my right to complain! You have the same right!
