NO FRIEND LIKE THE OLD FRIEND.

There is friend like the old friend to make
the fond heart bleed
When he meets you with supercilious air
And his CHANGING eye assures you that he
knows your gone to seed
And tbs no more use for him to treat you
fair.
Oh, his fine affected tone
As he talks with you alone
And the patronizlng cadence OF his voice,
For the fool can scarce construe
The subjective strength in you
Or he would not so pretentiously rejoice.
There is no friend like the old friend to make
the fond heart sad
As he turns away his head to see you not,
Forgetting all the favors from your hands that
he has had
IT'S so rich to cut you dead upon the spot
Oh, his blank and stony glare,
Shot straight up into the air
And the dignitied demeanor of his backl
All, fool, beyond the days
OF his hypoeritic praise,
Now dark Nemesis to call upon his track
There is no friend like the old friend to make
the heart rejoice
When he grabs your toll hard handend hugs
it tight.
The old ring and the true ring in his we'll re.
membered voice.
While his eyes filled with manifest de.
light.
For he greets you with a shout,
Stimulation all left out
hearty friend, a lifelong friend, pure
gold
And he holds you long and late
With force strong as fate
The bond of faithful friendship grand and
old
There is no friend like the old friend to drive
dull care away,
To lift the laden breast and make it stout.
Like burst of summer sunshine his presence
glads the day
And puts the devils blue to utter rout
For what's the odds to HIM
If your prospects yet are dim
And the binding of your vest is worn and
frayed
Like rock he stands by you
with friendship warm and true
And a faithful sense of honor unbetrayed.

ELECTRIC LIGHT FRANCHISE.

While the question of granting Il
franchise to the Newport News ana
DID, Point Railway ana Electric Com
pany was under consideration ~ the
council last night. Mr. Burcht.r offered
an amendment providing that the COM
pany should be required to locate its
general offices and power house within
the corporate limits. This company
secured from the council some time ago
a franchise granting il the privilege OF
operating trolley cars in The city OF
Newport News. What it sought last
night was permission to engage in the
electric lighting and power business in
this city. Under the original franchise
it would have been neither wise nor
just to impose such a condition as that
suggested by Mr.. Burcher, FOR the reas-
on that the company proposes 10 oI,cr-
ate an electric car system between
Newport News. Hampton and Old
Point. either of which places was en-
titled to as much consideration rs the
Others in seeking the location of the
plant by which the cars are to he OPP
Grated. In view of the fact, however,
that the company saw fit to extend its
operations in Newport News by fur
nishing light and power it was emf
nently proper that the council in grant
ing such a valuable concession. should
stipuiate that lis mechanical equipment
should b: located within the city limits,
SO that the municipality would receive
some return in the way Of taxation and
the people by which the enterprise will
be sustained, would be benefited. in a
measure, BY the residence and trade Of
those employed in connection with the
industry. The new company will enter
into competition with local insttu-
ton which pays taxes to the city Of
Newport News, and which employs
Hofk!nen who reside here. This is an
other reason Why the provision ad-
\ Yanced by Mr.. Burcher should have.
y been adopted. The amendment was
defeated, however. and concessions
which will operate against a desirable
local industry We're granted to u rival
concern which mag establish its plant
at point which viii afford neither
the city nor its inhabitants any ad-
Fantages whatever. We believe the
councils action was injudiciouS and in
compatible with the best interests OF
