~old-hoary fame, as it were.
John /. Sullivan pocketed $4,000 for
pounding Kilrain, and is now willing to
lick a whole community of New Workers

Everybody is asking everybody else if
thew are to attend the Methodist Confer
ence to be held in Millville on the l2th
inst. and in this local interest the Worlds
Fair is lost sight OF entirely.
The days are now becoming longer and
the lark rises some time after we do, and

Somebody says that the cost of building
roads should be divided between the coun-

the building OF the roads that so wears our
sweet life away, as the eternally eternal
tinkering at them afterward.
Let the pessimistic W oodstowner read

We have the worst gas in the world. We
have the worst pavements in the world.

We have the worst accommodations for
street transit in the world. We have the
worst City Councils in the world.
With infinite toll and trouble we gather
money together and build houses and
warehouses and mills and manufactures,
and dig and delve and buy and sell and
pay taxes. And then we elect men to
handle and spend the tax money who are
incapable of properly managing their own
aTairs.-Erehaage.
Go to town-meeting, then, and vote
your tax down.

thrifty New Workers care more for the
$3.50, 600. 600 they are u lose by not getting
the fair, than they are about the dead (to
them) Worlds Fair.
This from a preacher who probably did
not live at the time of the late war, any
how from one opposed to drafts:
We would be pleased, moreover, to have
the Young man who is now standing out
side the door come in and make certain
whether she is here or not. That would
be a great deal better than opening the
door half an inch and exposing the people
in the last row of seats to a draugEt.

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who assumes
to know and tell what men like, says:
"a man prefers temper to sulks, a storm
OF tears to a fit OF melancholy. lie is flat
tered by a touch of jealousy occasionally
ia a woman's attitude toward him. but he
is weaned and alienated from heI if it be-
comes a quality OF her nature. An occas-
ional thunderstorm clears the air, but
constant cyclones and cioud-bursts destroy
life and vegetation. A man likes girls
who speak we'll Of one another. and he Is
repelled by those who declare they hate
women"
