From TAE FlRST WARD
Miss Mary Griffith visited Pbil6,

to the beautiful golden rod, standing
fully five feet high,
Quite Il heavy frost covered the
bridges in the First Ward last Thurs
day morning OF course at this time
i'll the season frost must be expected.
Some crops it helps to mature while
others it ruins.
The sale of the yellow journal is on
the decrease since the assassination of
our President The time has come
for all aw-ahiding citizens to exclude
the yellow sheet from his home, for by
taking and reading these incendiary
Journals we only sanction their views.
The Lambertvillo Rubber Company
has purchased new heavy draught
wagon. 1t was made by the Fulton
\ Walker Wagon Company of Phila-
delphia. Harry Naylor, who is the
manager and driver of this new truck,
is proud of his high perch while
manipulating the ribbons.
The one great political, religious,
ethical, scientific, business PROPOSE
ton before the civilized nations to-day
is, What shall we do with the Anarch-
lists? The question is up to the
church, up to the State, up to the
Government, and it is plainly visible
ON all sides that something must be
done and that nj once.
The big trees i'll front of Thomas
Mcnamara residence on South Main
street, have been relieved of ali their
branches by the ax and saw. A great
many more on this beautiful thor
oughfare should he treated in like
manner, as trees, when they become
too big, only obscure the street lights
and are otherwise more of n nuisance
than an ornament
John MAstcrson, son of Mathew
and Ella Mastcrson, of South Union
street, died last Thursday morning.
John was an employee of the Lambert
vile Rubber Company for several
years, and up to tho time of his sick
ness. He had been under the care of
physician for some time previous to
giving up his situation with the above
company, which was in Juno last.
Since then he has been seen very
seldom upon the street. Ills age was
abont 20 years.
The election board in the First ward
this Fall is tho same as il was Inst
year. The names are A. Trauger,
Jos. Cooper, VIM. Hennessy, John
Mn lall. A house-to house canvass
will be made, ms usual, and the date
for this canvass will be October 9Th TO
llth. The accuracy of the canvass is
assured, ms the old board is well
posted in their line of duty and all
the details of our complicated election
laws will be thoroughly attended To.
The Interstate FAIR has novel
way of Advertising their big show.
Their walking advertisement paraded
our streets last Thursday afternoon
and they made quite some noise but
very little music. The affair is dubbed
"Iiills Bad Band" We hardly be
lieye such advertising pays and it
would be much cheeper TO advertise in
the old and original way use plenty
of printers ink, which is the only
reasonable way to put your business
or wares before the general public.
Mr.. llolcombe's motion in council,
in regard to forcing the Water Power
Company to remove tho weeds on
South Main street, il correct, only it
should have gone further and the
Company should also have been re-
quired to reset the flag stone walk
along their property, rs the whole
walk between the two mills mentioned
in Mr. llolcombe's motion, needs rails
ing and resetting. But we are OK
tremely thankful to our 3D. Ward coun-
Gilman for noticing these little defects
and calling attention to them, for these
are the things which please the con
stitucnts of our representatives in
council.
As election is drawing close at hand,
both political parties should endeavor
to present their very best men for
their candidates for council, as n

these men should be of far reaching
Judgment. They are practically the
rulers of the town aud therefore
should have the interest of our town
at heart. There il no compensation
attached to these Offices and therefore
it is a pure case of honor, and this
honorable body should be the very
best citizens our town can produce
There will be two candidates from
each ward, each Of different political
party and it will be up to the voter to
Judge between these two candidates
as to which to give his preference.
The party lines in our opinion, should
not be drawn too tightly upon our
city officials, and the best man for the
Office should have the support, re
gardless Of party. Our present council
have done fairly well through the
past year, and therefore we do not
wish to find any fault, well knowing it
is hard task to please every one. A
great many are of the opinion that the
day police should have been continued,
and your correspondent is one OF
them. We never did believe in cutting
down expenses by discommoding the
gen eral public. There isn't the least
doubt in my mind, that when our next
council is organized and gets down Ia
business, the day police will be
inaugurated again. Our town should
be severed, but this is n question that
should be settled by tho people at q
special election. Perhaps have said
enough upon this subject and there
fore will leave the rest in the hands g.
