F. A. THURLOUGH, SHERIFF OF AROOSTOOK.
"ALWAYS look before you leap, sir," Old Davy Crockett said.
The adage lives among us; tho Davy's long since dead --
And, here the other day, when up Aroostook way,
I heard the Sheriff's neighbors this little tribute pay: --
"He never fails to carry thru the thing he undertakes;
"He seems to have no aptitude for the making of mistakes;
"The facts will serve, in Thurlough's case this very thing to prove
"He always notes the principle, before he makes a move."
For this, his town's behind him and so's Aroostook too;
They back him up, in business. and in elections put him thru;
And that is why he's listed, as one of Aroostook's leading men;
And that is why he's Sheriff and will be Sheriff yet again.
