Atlanta Constitution Enters Plea
for the Men Who Make 1t.

The Atlanta Constitution enters an
eloquent plea for proper consideration
toward the real working newspaper
mqp when it says:
SCut his newspaper out of the life of
tho average man and you will create a
GAP for which the combined conven-
ierces and luxuries of modern civiliza-
ton win hardly compensate. He looks
forward to quiet hour with his ia
vorite daily with the same avidity
which marks the approach of his din
ing hours; in his minds eye one as
sunsing almost as much Importance as
the other.
sYet how many people of whose
daily existence the newspaper is such
auindispensable adjunct, think once a
ye5 \pf the men who make it. What
do icy know of the sleepless vigil
snes of the men who keep a trained
finger on the pulse of public events,
whose minds are educated to the del
icsie task of discriminating the re-
spective value of the days develop
merits. or who hold themselves ready
at moments notice to brave fatigue,
rebuifs and failure in the collection of
the news 10 be served to the public in
coherent, accurate form? Many of
those who even come in contact with
the news gatherer in his regular
rounds do not regard him with I'M
mixed feelings of respect and esteem.
So long rs his searching cross-exami-
nation Is directed at other folks and
things, it Is well. But when the ex-
igencies of his duty (and duty and fate
in the newspaper mans vocabulary
are Synonymous terms), compel him
to turn his Investigations in this direc-
ton, his enterprise sometimes seems
to take on the nature of impertinence
and they are ready to label his insis-
tent Intrusion.
ssThe men who keep you in touch
with the history of the times, whether
it be history making in Asia or Allan
ia, are just as human, Just as sensitive
to the little and big things of life, just
as De as yourself. Ifyou followed
@hS.0Sss said in the foregoing para
graphs you will admit their calling is
one of vast dignity and Importance to
themselves and to the people they

THEY EXPECT
TO RAISE $3.50
Directors and Members of the
Y. NJ. G. A. Expect to Close
the Year Free of Debt.

Before tomorrow night the di-
rectors and members of the Rail
road Y. M. G. A. expect to raise
$3.50, to close the year free of
debt and thus meet Miss Gould s
splendid offer to give three hun
dred dollars worth of books.
The Palestine building stands
an ornament to the city and every
patriotic citizen should be inter
ested a little bit financially at
least. Before the new building
was erected the town gave lib
orally to support a work in the
rented quarters over the Hodges
store, which. although worthy OF
the support, did not compare in
any way to the magnificent work
that is now being done in the new
building. Every citizen who can
possibly do so should carry a
membership in the institution and
every parent who has boys should
most assuredly see that they get
the benefit of this splendid work.
Messrs. q. E.. Dilley, J. NJ
Fullinwider, w. II. Nance, G. K,
Sterne, w. L. Maury and Others
from the board as well as many
from the rank and file of the
membership are at work today,
and we feel assured that the de-
sired end will be accomplished.

A Big Bill.

lowing up the announcement in the

PROSPECT.

PROSPECT.
Just now the new free delivery route in
this section, or that was to be, is talked
about, for and against, just as if it was but
little consequence if everybody cannot have
their own way, when in reality it would be
quite as satisfactory to start as first in
tended at Stockton Springs as to change to
BuckspOrt and take the chance of crossing
the river, then driving four miles before
getting on to the intended route Besides
it is an east and west road, and the yery
steepeSt hills in town; and Barnes route
covers this territory already. Ii is quite a
complicated business to locate the remain
ing portion of section so as to dispense
with the post offices. The first routes in
all places never covered all of the out of
the way territory, but for all that it was
good engineering and few could have done
better. After all these routes are estab-
llshed and working their best, it is our
opinion that the postmaster could employ
several carriers if need be and have tie
mail delivered quicker and cheaper and
very much more satisfactory to the COM
munity at large Still, where rural free
delivery has come it is highly appreciated
and the Government is doing wonderful
work. We have to go now of a mile to
get our mail and we can put up with that.
Ii the new route starts from Stockton and
comes by our place we shall get as much as
anybody can, and if it starts from Bucks
port and comes by our place we shalt get
that. There is one thing the government
should have done about free delivery that
is to furnish the boxes free, and attractive
boxes that would show for something. In
some cases now, after following instruc-
tiOns of officials, the boxes are too small
and made of cheap sheet iron, and the car
rier has to 60 into the house to get hot
water to thaw out the key hole in a cold
rain storm. The rural population ought to
have something to show where the money
goes, for there are very many who have
never seen gunboat, a fort, or any govern
ment work on rivers and harbors, and few
have any idea what it costs. The only time

Isle au Haut Thoroughfare.

The project to remove a portion: of the
bar for distance of 1000 feet at the head of
the Thoroughfare between Kmbail's island
and the island of Isle au Haut, Me-. is
made the subject of all unfavorable report
by Maj. S. W. Roessler, U. 5. A. engineers.
stationed at Portland A preliminary sur
vey of the Thoroughfare was made by
Maj. Roessler in August and his official re-
port has just been made public. Maj Roes-
sler concludes that the commerce of the
place is local and not of enough magnitude
to warrant the government dredging the
channel. Gloucester fishermen use Isle au
Haut as a harbor of refuge. ''The perma-
nent population of Isle au Naut,' says the
major, sis about 200 and almost exclusively
occupied in fishing. 1t is pretty we'll scat
tered over the island and there are not
enough houses concentrated in any one To-
cality to constitute more than a nucleus of
village The nearest approximation to a
village on the island is a group of cottages
located on a promOntory northeast of the
Thoroughfare called Point Lookout. The
summer colonsts number about 100 The
population of Kimball's island is one fami-
ly." 1t was proposed to dredge channel
II feet deep and 30 feet wide, but Maj Roes-
sler does not think the expenditure war
ranted.

The present situation is thus summarized
by the New England Homestead:
Poultry men report an unusually light
gathering of eggs since the winter set in,
and during the cold weather Immediately
laying. Ordinarily. abnormal tas prices 4 for
eggs mean a reduction in the demand. The
unusual values prevailing for meats, peaches
and numerous other ''egg substitutes"
however, resulted the past season in the
public preferring to meet the continued
advances in eggs rather than switch off to
commodities relatively more expensive.
The past week or so the demand for eggs
has diminished, but the light offerings of
fresh laid and storage stock offset any
weakening tendency this might have had
weather moderates sufficiently in the west
