have accomplished in this line. Every

the bad weather sets in.
The following resolutions were
passed at meeting of the Curhstone
club:
Friendship is the sunshine of life,
but our lives are so cast that as soon
as II friend becomes financially hard
up it looks like wise policy to drop
him.
There is no such thing ms Provi-
denee helping out man who goes of
and the rent unpaid. Providence has
all she can do to run her own business.
We are confronted with n condition
instead of Il theory and we are pleased
to make note of the same. OF course,
there are some few who are working
in the shops who are dissatisfied with
the way they are running and there
are good grounds for this dissatisfac-
ton. 1t is a theory and not eondi-
ton with these men. There il n
demand for men throughout the conn
try and there is no need for any one
to be idle.
The flags which mark the graves of
the soldiers in Mt, Hope cemetery are
now very numerous. About one hun
dred old soldiers have found their
final resting place i'll this cemetery,
and memory carries us back to the
days of 81 90. when we marched
elbow to elbow in line with some of
these men. As we read the names
upon some of the hcadstunes we are
naturally reminded of some little in
stances which occurred during the life
and death struggle of the great rebel
lion. Some of these incidents ARE
just rs fresh i'll our memory IA if they
happened but yesterday. Many were
amusing, others of different char
acter For little breach Of discipline
we have seen some of the soldiers
carrying tag, and others we have
seen promoted for doing some brave
act
The recent rains were II boon TO
some of the big mills along tho canal

on account of the scarcity of water.

These gentlemen seem 10 be proud of

gentlemen of silver lining.
On account of the threatening
weather on Sunday evening no relig-
ious services were held Mt the canal
locks. DIR. Scott had been announced
to address tho meeting, but being I'M
able to be present, substitute i'll the
person of Mr.. Cooley, lawyer of
New Hope, was on the ground ready
to address the meeting. At tho last
however, it was postponed.
Mr.. Lucas is having rather bad luck
with his truck farm. Recently some

We find our troubles are made
lighter by sharing them with some one

thing to occupy his mind and worry
over. It's mean man who won't

"Jacky, in our opinion it does those
fellows, especially the brain agitators,
a whole lot of good to take Saturday
vacation and inject little rest and
variation into their lives. After II
person has swcat ont whole lot of
hard and dry politics and crystalized
thoughts, and the tissues Of his body
and think-pot have grown weak and
habby and full Of melancholy weari-
ness, he naturally feels like slipping n
cog in the great revolving wheel OF
time and disconnect himself from the
hopes and struggles of another cam
paign. Even those who do not weary
their brain with big and juicy thought
find that the pores of their epidermis
need rest and repose and fresh ali
and little pure water Their very
souls hunger for a change Of scenery
and daily companions and some new
style Of political misery to take The
place Of their domestic trouble.
