AUTHOR OF ADDS AND ITEMS.

II tCO DaO,
Some of the old maids just criti-
cized my adds,
They said had done where l
should of had did
That some of my words In the
wrong place had slid.
One teacher said it was just awful!
awful
You should not write without you
had craw full
OF (erammeI), that she would be
ashamed
To have such stuff published for
society thus named.
But then old maids In any place or
Always see the wrong side and try
to turn you down
But they are a cranky lot and
always will be.
They are never satisfied with any
thing they see?
Now I think 1t ungrateful and
mean In degree
To criticize my poetry aud jeopar-
die poor me.
I wrote them as we'll as my brains
would allow
Aud I think 1t a shame to make fun
of me now.
And then I was so proud of my bit
of verse,
I think smarter persons might have
done worse;
My literary talent has been hinder
ed some what,
But I have a small bit OF horse
sense to fill up the spot.
Ny grammar was learned In the
the woolpecker's time,
When the moss on our backs grew
as long as these rhymes;
When our puncheon floors didn't
have any rugs.
And learned persons then were
called big bugs.
When the girls wore linsey woolsey
and the men wore jeans,
When they made sorghum to eat
with pork and beans,
When they stirred the apple butter
on the fellows lap
Aud boiled down the Maple sugar
from the Maple sap.
When they had to strike flint and
light the fire with tow,
And carried 1t on a single for they
had no shovel, you know.
When we wore our home spun
dresses and went to church
together,
With honest, truthful hearts In all
kinds Of weather.
When Dinah baked the hoecake on
Old Massa hoe,
While grama knit the stocking in
the fire light glow,
And grandpa smoked his pipe near
the old time hearth,
When he told his funny riddles, we
laughed with jolly mirth.
When mother turned the spinning
wheel
Until the FIRE burned low.
I can not forget this picture
OF the long, long ago.
When we went out at night to a
country sing,
And the boys around the girls
would cut a pigeon wing,
When We had our lesson by can.
die stick to get,
And we went to dances and danced
the minuet.
So when I write you up again,
please don't make remarks,
Or I'll leave you with Moses out In
the dark;
Ny grammar Is bad, but my heart
Is right I know,
No insinuation you must now at me
throw.
Written by Mrs. Noah In the ark,
Before she ever did embark,
To this town of Sistersvllle,
Never studied grammar nor she
never will.
Now I bid you kind adleu
Until I come again to you

lieve us of the responsibility of
choosing between the three names.
What we want is change and
either of the names will be good
enough for us, or, in the event
that these gentlemen should de-
velop antipathous feelings against
having towns named after them,
or, in other words, to dedicating
their names to the use of town,
then any other name will be good
enough for US, just so it will be
good enough for both the railroad
and the Postofice Department.

THAT SOCORRO SHUTDOWN

A few weeks ago the Socorro mine
closed down. Miners and all who
came from there were very reticent
as to the reason for the shutdown.
A News-Herald reporter tried to
get the facts in the case. but was
met by the statement that it was
the desire of all parties concerned
that the real truth of the matter
should not be made known. In
order to be agreeable, we told the
story that the property had closed
down during the hot weather, be-
cause man could not do as much
work on hot day as he can on a
more pleasant day. This story,
we are informed by people who
were supposed to be close to the
company, was about what they de-
sired. Well, it was not a bad story
and could not do any one any
harm. But some people did not
believe it. The Arizona Republican
started the story that the Miners
Union had threatened to 60 on
strike and hence the management
was compelled to stop work or have
trouble with the'union. This story
has been repeated in great many
papers of the territory, 1t is a
we'll known fact that there was the
best of feeling between the operat.
ors and the men at Harrisburg up
until the shutdown.
The real reason for the shut
down has finally leaked out. There
was not enough ground opened up
to enable the men to get out enough
ore to run the mill. This was no
disgrace to the property. Why
then should any one have wanted
to keep the truth still ? When
you try to keep the truth still
about any matter you only create
a curious desire on the part of the
public to know the whole truth of
the matter. The newspapers will
either guess at the causes or will
listen to the guesses of other peo-
pie, and hence wrong impressions
get abroad. This particular hedg-
ing from the truth has done the
Miners Union an injustice and has
not done any one else any good.
Mr.. Morse, secretary of the COM
pany, very nicely admits that there
was 10 trouble and denounces the
story. The company has, in real
ity been hurt in the eyes of union
labor at large, when, if some one
had have had the nerve to tell
the truth, there need not have been
any trouble about the matter.
That the property was closed
down was an unavoidable fact. It
did not look good to the people nor
to the company. The fact that
some one had made the mistake of
saying that there was enough ore
blocked out to start the mill on
was no black eye to the company.
It might be bad for the particular
manager, whoever he may have
been, who developed the property,
to have the truth told, but it could
not hurt him any more at that
time than it will now, and such
things will always leak out, so do
not try to shield any one by false
hoods, when it must sooner or later
be known that such was the case.
In this instance, we have inno-
cence injured in an attempt to favor
the guilty, where it was impossible
to do that unfortunate party any
good. Let uE not forget that even
in the mining business honesty is
the best of policy.

TOO MANY NAMES

lnoT0 are CnrS0 COWnS along Guo
line of this railroad the names of
which should be changed. First al
low us to discuss Congress juno
tion-Martinez.
This place has a name that, like
the other two towns under consid-
Grafton, is double-header. That
is, the postohice is Martinez and
the railroad station and express Of
flee is Congress Junction. We must
be continuously on the lookout
when writing letters, lest we forget
to state that we are not at Congress
junction when we get our mail, but
that we are at Martinez, and that
we are not at Martinez when we
get our freight or express, but that
We are at Congress Junction. Let
ters, freight, express and even peo-
pie get mixed up on the PROPOSE
ton. We never have heard of a
man who only wanted to go or
come to Congress Junction that
actually went on to Congress, but
we have seen men who thought
they were at Congress when they
arrived at the Junction. Now, we
do not need to elaborate upon this
sad state OF affairs very much, for
every one knows what an eternal
bother it is to have o town with
two names.
Next in order we shall tackle
Hot Springs Observation-Disclosures.
That town, like this, has one name
too many. We dare say that the
inconveniences that beset us also
beset the people of that junction
town. Hot Springs being q
reality, near by-only twenty miles
away-it is natural for folks to get
the name of that postoffice mixed
with the name of Hot Springs
Junction. We have never heard
the people of that hustling little
traffic center complain about this
matter, but, then, Arizona people
rarely ever complain at anything.
We take it upon ourselves to make
this complaint, and if we are wrong
we hope our Morristown Hot
Springs junction readers will call
us to halt on this subject. That
place ought to have more con-
gruous name.
Jerome INSTRUMENTATION is the
third of these incongruities. All
that has been said of the other two
may, with the name variation, be
made applicable to this one also.
What is the reason that these
names are thus e? Whose fault is
it2 We guess it is one of those
things that have come somewhat
by chance. No one troubled him
self about having these places
named rightly. It is, however,
likely that the railroad names of
these places are older than the
postofice names, for the Postofice
Department would not be willing
to name postofice a name so sim
liar to one already established
within the same State. Hence the
incongruousness of these names.
II the railroad company can be
persuaded to change the names of
their stations in these cases it is
likely that petitions can be gotten
up among the people of the respec-
tive towns to get the postofhces and
towns named the same, in each in
stance. AS to this town, it has
been suggested by prominent cit
izen that either Ripley. Murphy or
Emmert would be a good name for
this burg. We are of the same
opinion. If all the different
branches Of business in the town
will use the same name it will re-
move big lot of bother from the
arena. And if Messrs. Ripley,

DUNLAP KEEPS CLOSE
CAPTAIN WANTED ON WARRANT CHARGING SMUGGLING.
Porto Rico Rican Police Seek to Ar rest Him, But He Remains Safe ly on the Naval Reservation,
 Which They Cannot Invade.

San Juan, April n.-The police have not been able to arrest Capt. Andrew Dun lap, U. 8. N, commandant of the naval station here, against whom warrant mas been issued for bringing in liquors witn- out paying duty. because the naval sta ton is a government reserve and Captain Dunlap remains on it.
 Fhe police have been standing at the gate of the station since yesterday after noon. Captain Dunlap refuses to come out or to permit the police to enter. The hrsf time the naval officer leaves the station he will be arrested. It was thought this morning that Captain Dunlap would leave the station voluntarily, but it is now probable that he will not do so as long as the police remain on guard.
