By Edgar Allan Poe Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber
City Clerk William S. Corter was sort of a hero at City Hall today. He “saved” the City Charter; a document almost as precious to Williamporters as the Declaration of Independence. And it all started as an accident. It was about 5 p.m. yesterday and the City Clerk was in his office preparing to go
