FROM THE FIRST WARD.

''S'' - ~ ''FN'S'
Politics seems to be the leading
sentiment Just at this time. The party
i'll power always says this town is pros
porous and happy. while the party out
of Office keeps bowling That the town
is run by deception and fraud. You
can get Your two dollars for your vote,
and take your choice.
When a woman takes it in her head
to be right down contrary and mean,
the skunk seems to have lost his flavor
and tan yard wifi goes upto heaven at
the same time that could easily be
taken for Il peach orchard odor.
BY an arbitrary ruling of the board
of directors of the new paper, the
Democratic Wage-W Worker, we are
declared from contributing any news
items from the First Ward. 1t was
onr intention to make arrangements
with the management with this object
in view. Tho head of the firm being
an old and trusted friend of ours, We
felt kind of elated at the opportunity
thus presented, but later on, we found
ourself much disappointed, IA the
board of directors at their last meet
ing unanimously decided not to pny
more than five hundred dollars to any
one man for news items and as We
are not IN the business for the pleasure
derived from it, our little news items
will be found i'll TuE LAMBERTvuLE
RECoBp rs usual. We wish, neverthc-
less, to congratulate the management
of the Democratic Wage Forkcr and
wish him n successful career in his
new undertaking; and at aomc future
time We hope We may be III position
to contribute something to further the
success of that paper
Business is still rushing at the
Lambertyille Rubber Company plant
and all the departments are kept busy,
and il looks as though it will be very
prosperous year for this company; at
least this il the anticipation of those
interested
Watch out now for those new Easter
bonnets They say there is nm i'm
mense crop this year to he soon gath
cred
We read, hear and talk 10 much Of
Dewey, that we certainly may be par
doned for growing n little tired and
we wonder why share of the praise
that he so freely gets is not given TO
the brave boys under his command,
those that did all the fighting. They,
to my way Of thinking, should come
in for good share Of the praise, and
yet they get least But tho poor men
always do the hard work and get the
least thanks.
The Centennial Paper Mill has been
purchased by the William Mann Co.
and will be run in connection with the
other plant adjoining, and we may
now look for new life iii this once
prosperous mill, IA, when it gets into
the right palty's hands il will no doubt
be run right along at its full capacity.
Edward Rittenhouse, the gentleman
~ superintendent of the Lambertville
Rubber Go. s works, is still iii Phila-
delphia, under the care of DR.. Reed.
His case was pronounced quite com
plicated by the Doctor, but he hopes
to bring him around again soon Mr.
K. has been suffering for n year or
two from these complicated troubles,
and was forced to undergo an opera
tion. Having heard from him recent
ly, he says he is now gaining strength
slowly and wants to come home as
soon IA the physician will permit him
to do 50.
The new paper, the "Democratic
Wage Worker, " reached us on Satur-
day evening and was found to be quite
interesting. The leading editorial
caused some little comment. This of
course will settle all doubts concern
ing William Jennings Bryan's nomi-
nation, and the boys might Just as
well commence to line up. At the
Curb Stone" meeting some very i'm
portant action was taken in connection
with the Wage Worker. 1t was
unanimously adopted to at once notify
w. j. b. by telegraph to be on the
lookout for the democratic Wage
Worker, as ''the first off the press
had been mailed to him. This paper,
no doubt, will be kept by him as II
souvenir.
