At Last
AS sinks the sun,
When day is done,
Iuto the heavens affair
So / would rest
Within Thy breast,
And wait the morning star.
And should the sea,
In crossing, be
A tempest black with storm,
If may rest
Upon Thy breast
fear not death uor harm.
Full well know
That millions, so,
Who made the farther shore,
Are now at rest,
Within Thy breast,
Forever, evermore.

Protestant Church in Harrington Rev.
J. L. Straughn pastor, great revival of
religion. Some fifty persons have pro-
fe ssed conversion to date, and the work
goes on with unabated interest.
MANY wells in North Milford have
gone dry. One town hydrant has four
families using water from it The same
condition prevails in South Milford, and
still there is no prospect of relief,as what
little rain that has fallen, has only wet the
surface earth.

SINCE the new ten-inch we'll has been
n use, the town water has been much
more satisfactory All the "hardness"
of heretofore is absent IN the
new we'll, while the supply is abundant.
Rather than dig new wells,or deepen old
)nes, property holders will find it equally
IS cheap, and much more convenient, to
1ut the town water in their properties.
THE dredging machine is still digging I
It the Mispillion's mouth. The sand t
brown up washes back almost as fast as z
he machine throws it out. Why IS 1t '
hat the engineer III Charge will persist i'll
UGH workp Quicksaud seventy teet deep s
will fill in almost as fast as will water J
When bailed. There is not any sense III
ontinuing this work as laid out. Better
top the work altogether. !;
THE two lots recently purchased by
Nm 9. Samuons from the Hyer estate
Ocated on East Front street South, are
eing improved by Mr.. Sammons, who a
7ill fill them in aud make two building

property, and as Mr., Sam
lons will sewer his lot the town author
lies should have the open ditch now Z
rossing that part ofthe town turned into :.
covered sewer. :,

ON the whole the year of '95 was not

ut there's no question but what business =,
on firrner basis than it was year ago. 1
d spite Of the war scare aud other posi- G

new year which holds great possibilities fl
u the business man, and the advertiser
as more than a good chance at success
only he mixes in right proportions the b

THE retail merchant should "tell the
nth aud shame the devil" Be honest
/ your newspaper statements. Be as Il

lawyer or local magnate-and 1t h
avs to have that salesman as presenta- 6
le and straightforward as you know how. -
a advertisement should be like news q

opportunities that your enterprise brings
bout and the public will appreciate your a
ayings. i
