FROM THE FIRST WARD.

are making preparations for grand
fourth of July celebration Is the
patriotism of the citizens of Lambert
vile so far lost as to let this indepen-
dence day pass again without making
some demonstration i'll the way of
recognition? We presume outside of a
se-ball game aud the usual amount
of cellar made whiskey consumed,
the day will pass unobserved.
If the readers of this column of The
RECORD fail to find any First Ward
items in the future, they must excuse
the correspondent, for he is seriously
contemplating visit to the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo. OF
course it is expected that all reporters
and newspaper correspondents will at
tend this exposition, for as a general
thing they make their money easily
and can afford to enjoy all the Injuries
which are so freely bestowed upon
/ them. Nevertheless, my appetite and
| greed are sometimes handicapped
with poverty and debt and old clothes
and rheumatism and cold feet Per
haps 1t is this handicap that prevents
me from climbing up the steps TO my
palace of promise and rest my face in
/ the big French plate mirrors and toast
my toes before the hearth on which
my ambition and genius have been
/ burning. Take. for instance, young
man and follow him through life.
Starting with his first struggle to
fill himself with practical and book
education sufficient to squeeze fortune
and fame out of a hungry world, over
run with starving animals that are
obliged to get a wiggle on themselves
to satisfy that everlasting gnawing of
the gastric juices ON the cotton flannel
lining of their stomachs, You will
never find that young man standing
perfectly still. He must either ad-
vance or drift back towards the start
ing point. | can now shut my eyes
and turn memory back over my trail |
and see still the marks in the mud |
where | sank deep into the Welding |
earth in my laborious effort to hold |
my equilibrium and step over OBJ
struetions and lean up against tree
occasionally to rest and draw III Il
fresh supply of wind. But, thank
fortune, ! have at last reached the
palace of promise, and have been
walking around the great walls and
looking up to the golden tip on the
lightning rod. Now under these cir
eumstances and conditions, little
rest and recreation will no doubt in
Yigorate my nerves enough to be able
TO march ON the hard dirt road of
political and religious prevarication;
so later on the grand march towards
Zion will be resumed with new shouts
of hallelujah
The Lambertyille Rubber Company
will shut down their large plant for
about two weeks in July, to take ae
count of stock and make few neees

fixed and decided upon no far,
although the date may be changed,
and also the length of time. II some
times depends upon the amount of
repairs that Is found necessary to do,

TINT the shutdow will not be un-
necessarily delayed

some good results from this ptactice

defeated, the boys did good work.
The score was to t. This Saturday
they go to Pennington, and no doubt
they will come home carrying the
banner of victory with them.

Swan street, as the demand for gas il

The people are beginning to find out
that gas stoves are IA very handy and

cts all right IN not kicking,
writes young Lambeltyille man who
has been soldering in the Philippines
for the past couple of years. THE
experience is bully. ! don mind the
hardships little bit. 1t trims

stack up against in the future years.
There's nothing wrong with these
