Dor 81 II you will allow the space
would Ike to ask through the Journal
the reason for the notices at the end Of the
road leading from Mr., A. Y. Days to Mr..
A, NJ. Gilberts farm house. One OF them
reads Private Road the other Bridge
Uasafe, this notice Is all at the west end
OF the road and none at the east end, so
that teams going from the east have no
warning Of the unsafe bridge until they
have crossed Il and reached Mr.. 8ilberls
place. Now II that road Is not a private
road and the bridge unsafe think the pub.
lie ought to be better Informed.
for one do not wish to trespass on Mr..
Gllbert's property aud would like to know
for certainty whether | aro or not when
travelling on that road.
This road has always belonged to this
town and kept In repair at tho expense OF
the town. Now what want 10 know IL,
when and how Mr.. Gilbert obtained this
road and how he can mark il private II II
is yet public road. Perhaps ! don't un.
derstand the legal rights OF our town au-
thoritles, but did not know that IA road
could be discontinued without tho vote Of
the town.
Now think this will interest the pubic
as well as myself II there could be some
explanation given through the Journal
Tor think 1t no credit to the town TO leave
bridge unsafe from year to year. II 1t be-
longs to the town to repair.
G. NJ HoTsrORD.
We hnd that the road referred to isa
private road frm De vast side of tho
bridge across he Ba0cnklll, westward.
This road was elosed by petition OF land
owners. The stltc,nen eaa throw up or
lay ont road GU poiIuor, We think ho@-
ever II the conditions exist as complained
Of, that Mr. Gilbert would cheeriully
change the sign so !, be seen by those ap-
preaching II SO requested Eli.

The occasions on which Professor Fats.
wsy was invited to speak In public were
times Of great anxiety to his wife. II she
succeeded In starting him for the platform
properly clothed, and with hls notes Ia his
hand, part OF her cares vanished, but not
all Of them.
One evening her husband was one Of
seven distinguished professional men who
were to speak before scientific society
consisting Of men from all parts Of the
country.
His speech WAS clear that night, FREQ
from the absent. minded mufmurs which
sometimes interspersed his difc3urse, and
AZ he seated himself Mrs. PARKWAY felt
that be had fully carltd the burst Of ap.
pleuse--then her cheeks crImsonod.
Did you see anything amusing about
the close Of my address, my dearf asked
the professor, as they started TOR home. lt
seemed as II heard sounds fuggestiye Of
merriment about me.
don't wonder, said Mrs. Fafaway, who
up 10 that time had maintained the silepee
Of despair ior all the people who applaud
cd your address, you, with your head In
