When man starts to make improve.
ments to his house or garden, or even
his back fence, some one must come
along and criticise the work. Now
we do not propose to do this work to
suit everybody, we simply suit our.
selves, regardless of all critics.
The total number of men enlisted

Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson Pidcock left

1t is said the English are laughing
heartily over some of the antics of our
special coronation representatives
but what can we expect when a repub-
lie attempts to dabble in something it
has no use for?
Give a man his chance of making
friends or money and he doesn't hest
tate more than half a second.
wish to mention in this column
that Your correspondent intends o
spend his vacation up amongst the
Alleghenies, and perhaps the First
Ward items may not appear for week
or two. But to all who read this col
umn | will state that upon my return
| will still jot down the items which
come under my notice and attention
and shall endeavor to make this col
umn interesting to the many readers
of THE RECORD.
The Lambertville Rubber Co. shut
down last Saturday evening to take
account of stock and make their an
nual repairs to machinery, &c. This
shutdown always takes place in the
month of July, and is necessity.
The machinery is run very steadily
nh aIa af hA
and sometimes at night, aud heavy
machinery needs looking after at least
once in year. The Company always
picks out this month, as it gives the
men a chance to take little vacation
in the pleasant summer weather. The
factory is warm place in the summer
aud the men steadily employed through
the year, naturally look ahead for this
their annual vacation, for little res
and enjoyment, and they can be seeI
around the town enjoying themselves
and at the ball games. Some, o
course, spend their vacations ava,
from home, but the majority sta,
around their homes and busy them
selves attending to little repairs ant
other necessities pertaining to HON,
and comfort.
At last / am going into politics.
have been dabbling in politics for sew
eral years, but never on my own hook
have always worked for some one else
but now i shall work for myself il
true country style. True, my salary
has not been of the gout producing
kind, although have never "busted
yet, but came very near it, I have
been down to my last dollar and one
suit of old clothes, with patches on
the rear rotunda, but You couldn't
call it a complete "bust, Just hard up,
or poverty-pinched around the edges.
But ] am going into politics, never
theless, and forfeit the princely sal
airy get at present. / have saved up
enough cash to give me a feeling of
aflluence, and j want the pleasure of
spending it in good canse. i shall
write to all the leading railroads and
explain to them what good invest
ment it would be for them to send me
an annual pass over their tracks. And
all who do not respond favorably will
be put into my peanut rooster and
cooked to the queens taste. I'll tell
the people how they are being held up
by the railroads and corporations and
plnnderers, both in freight and pas
senger rates, and how the railroad
companies employ professional lobby
lists to corrupt our brilliant statesmen
with Doodle; how they dodge theil
Just share of taxes, and if none Of
them respond favorably, durn them,
I'll walk. I don't like grinding mo
nopolies anyhow, but / could warn
up to few of them for pass.
