The Bristol Way.

Below will be found copy Of an
advertisement published in the Bristol
Daily Courier, the leading paper, last
Sunday. 1t doesn't amount to much,
but it shows that there is o faction in
Bristol opposed to everything which
tends to the development Of the place
and that that faction can be heard
through the columns of leading paper.

never vote another dollar to any rail.

odious night law is in existence, if my
vote and influence will prevent it.
SILT l. A. NICKELs.
The law referred to above as the
"odious law" is the closing OF saloons
from dark to daylight. The same law
is in effect here and there is no kick
ing. Instead OF being opposed to the
building of railroads the owners Of
saloons here are willing to take stock
in them, and will subscribe $1,000 q
piece to the very road the Bristol
people are trying to kill.

ting q protest Signed " DO sent 70 the
legislature, Protesting against On amend
ment sent BY the Edgemoor Iron Com
pany, to amend an act passed two years
ago providing for the construction OF a
pike or macadamized road from the
Philadelphia turnpike to the Edgemoor
Iron Compsny's works. The act passed
tw o years ago permits any owner oil pro-
perty upon that road to repair 1t Accord
lug to stipulated plane, aud to pay for
the expense OF these repairs, the owners
are permitted TO draw upon the road
commissioners Of the Hundred for the
amount of the tax paid upon that pro-
perry where the repairs are made.
The amendment referred TO prohibits
the use upon that road OF any vehicle ex-
cept I, @ or 4 inch tired veh Giles under a
penalty to be recovered before any Justice
OF the peace. II Is this amendment that
has stirred up the property owners In the
Hundred who own vehicles, as they arc
virtually shut out of the use OF the road
unless they go to work and get wagons
made with the required width of tire.
This the BTandywIne yeomanry say
did enough whom they permitted the orr
ginal bill to pass, allowing the owners
OF property on that ROAD to draw all the
taxes they paid until they were fully re-
imbursed, NO matter whether 1t took one,
two or ten years to do it in.
II this thing is TO be carried out, what
s to hinder any other set Of owners of
property on another roac from doing the
same thing and requiring a still different
width Of tire, so that II carried out to its
legitimate results, a farmer would have
to keep several sets Of vehicles to suit an
many different roads, aud In passing from
one road to another they would have to
change wheels. circumstances were fly

The news from Middletown OF the dis
franchiscment OF ia colored Republicans
by striking their names from the assess
ment, has created deep impreesion IN
the minds Of reople OF all partien. Demo-
Gratis have been praising themselves aud
the Republicans have been as lavish In
their praise that for once full and iAir
assessment OF the voters was made even
in 81. Georges Hundred. The discovery
OF this Wholesale Acknowledgement In
West st. Georges takes away In part the
glitter Of tue praise the Democrats have
been lavishing upon themselves.
But who Is to blame Is the question: A
repr, sentative OF the REPUBLICAN, started
out on tour OF investigation this fore
noon to see whetEer tue responsibility
rested upon any Official at the Court
Houte.
Lambert Nicholson was the lrs, clerk
met with In the Office OF the Clerk OF the
Peace. Mr.. Nicholson Is coplist and
has been busy since the Levy Court con-
vened early IN February In copying the
assessment duplicates. In answer 10 the
question of what be knew about II. Mr.
Nicholson said he knew nothing what
eyer about the missing names. lie said
he wrote the West st. Geofg s. duplicate
and he copied oil name by name exactly
as they came from the hands OF Tho Levy
Court, Mr.. Nicholson said he knew
there were no manipulat!ons In the CLERK
of the Pcace's office.
The REPUBLICAN representative Then
passed through to the Levy Court room
the Levy Court being In session. At.
costing Deputy Clerk OF the Peace
Osborne, he was asked what he knew o.
the III missing names from the West st.
Georges assessment.
Mr.. Osborne declared that he knew
nothing whate er about It, but he knew
that go far as the clerk Of the peace,
Office was concerned, everything WAS a
ST. aight US Q shingle. II there has teei
any ma lipulations OF the assessment HI
was sure it was done before IL reached
the hands OF the clerks Office.
Tnere are the books; you eau examine
them for yourself. Not having time thet
to examine tie book, the representative
of the REPUBLICAN passed on to Mr.

COSTUMERS.

In connection with Bed Room
Suites we might mention a most
useful adjunct in the shape Of a
costumer or clothes tree for
hanging up clothes. We have
a line of these goods from s.. so
to $40 in either antique oak or
mahogany finish.
They occupy very little space,
and if you realized their con
veniencc and usefulness, you
would not be without one.
AS a hat or coat rack for
offices or side halls they fill a
want long needed. Something
cheap and ornamental.
