The Father OF Cur Country.

For The REPUBLICAN.
1he Father OF cur Country,
How glorious it sounds,
How brayely that man fought
Upon the battle ground.
When Governor Dinwiddie
Sent him far away,
To see the French commander,
And bring answer without delay.
He went horugh trials and hardships
And he crossed the Deiawars,
But the glories Of his Country,
George Washington did share.
All our Nations freedom
We owe to that great man,
Who fought against the British,
And saw Ibem when they ran.
The Father of cur CouDe :,
Neer with wound Al down,
lie won a victory oy63
Corvallis at Yorktown.
When we chose our President,
To Washington our hearts turned,
And the service he was to our country
All Of us have earned.
AT Trenton there We're to greet him,
People both young and old,
Ever since then on his birthday,
His story has been told.
Down in the tomb at Mt. Vernon,
George Washington now lies
But his soul assembled long ago.
To tho land beyond the skies.

onAhe charge of oh aiming $72 u under
false pretences Louisa Dougherty was
the person who preferred tho charge
against Buckson before Magistrate Sut-
ton.
John A. Walls, who has had long years
ofcXperience, says that 1t would take only
q few minutes to tell whether the battle
ship Maine blew up or was blown up. If
the fish in Havana harbor were killed then
she was blown up.
To prove such to be the fact he says let
them blow up another mine and see all
the dead fish floating on the water.
The ten New Castle men who have been
at work in the Allison pipe works, Pbila.
delphia, are home for ten days.
A New Castle man who was in Dela-

The electric display by trolley cars last
night was beautiful. At times as the cars
ran through the city for squares the diff
erent colcred lights were beautiful.
Complaint Is mado that the telephone
service between New Castle and Whining
ton Is cut off after 10 o'clock at night
There is no telegraph office open here af-
ter clock
Why should City Council grant the
telephone company any more privileges.
Make the company place phone in the
managers office for the use OF the city and
see that communication Is not cut off with
tho outside world. The phone at the Jail
can be used only for business connected
with the jail. By all means then let the
Council SEQ that the telephone company
puts New Castle in communication with
the ou side world.

thing when tho election for members of
the Legislature takes place in November
next. if the two wings of the party agree
to bury the hatchet then the next Legis.
