matter the courty commissioners
felt that they We're confronted by Il
condition which seemed to call for 4
sacrifice either of the trees or Of a
1G-foot roadway for wagons on either
side of the present roadway and out.
side of the tracks proposed to be
laid. These lG-foot roadways on eth
er side are believed to be necessary
to accommodate wagon traffic when
the property on both sides shall have
been built up, in order that the stores
and residences may be reached by
vehicles. These side roadways will
be in addition to the present ROADWAY
between the trees, aud in order to
have them also to leave u feet for
sidewalk, it is necessary to push
the railroad tracks over so that the
ends of the ties will almost touch the
base Of the trees. and the latter will
have to be taken up or cut down In
order to permit cars to pass.
It has been suggested that the sid
roadways might have been made ton
feet wide instead of sixteen, which
would have left a clearance Of some
thing over six feet between the cars
and the trees; but any change Of this
nature viii have to be decided upor
quickly, as the track has already been
laid on one side and will be made sol
III as rapidly as possible.
Unless this is done the trees win
have TO be taken away and either
destroyed or set ont along what will
be TIC side walk Inc at some time in
the future. which will he twelve feet
from the private property line. This
will be impracticable at present on
some portions Of the road:
1t is possible the matter will be dis
eussed by the county commissioners

Oh YOU fat and pudgy sinner
With the silver in your hair
You who have the llabby muscles
And the wrinkle marks of care
Get your cap and scarf and mittens
And come out ana take a ride
Where the boys are whooping gaily
Down the old tOhOggan slide!
Get a sled that's long and slender
With the runners shiny bright
And a race boss pitcher Standin
Right out on it in the light,
And pretend. at least, you're Coastin'
Where the great white way is wide
And the speed is most terrific
Down that old tOboggan slide!
At the crest we stand together
With our sleds held high in air
quit Yer edging up. doggone ye!
This here race is on thee square"
Now. We run and Hop together
Belly buster on our Sleds
Like two catapultic tangents
or pair of quadrupeds
Here Plague take we, stop that nudg-
ing!
Tain't no fair t push yer sled!
You amt neither! No. doggone we,

A Song,

A Song,
let whose will sing BaCchus' wine;
We know drink that's more divine;
Tis white and innocent as doves,
fragrant and bosOm-white as loves
White bosom on a Summer day
And fragrant as the hawthorn spray.
his simple country cup we drain
Knows not the ghosts Of sin and pain.
However hard and long the way
NTH country sleep to end the day.
TO drain this cup no man shall rue,
The innocent madness of the dew.
Nho shall repent, or frenzy fine
IF morning star, or the divine
.nebriatIon of the hours
When May roofs in the world with
with flowerS
About this cup the swallows skim
And low the milking-Star hangs dim
Across the meadows, and the moon
Is near in haeven the young moon
And murmurs sweet of field and hill
Loiter awhile, and all is still.
AS in some chapel dear to Pan,
This fair milk glimmers in the can.
And, in the silence cool and white,
The cream mounts through the
listening night;
And, all around the sleeping house,
You hear the breathing of the COWS
And drOwsy rattle of the chain,
Till 10! the blue-eyed moon again.

there will be no grease to wipe up.
Save small bits of white soap
which cannot longer be used in

Those Charlton county farmers
who imagined they plowed up fifty
five snakes recently must have been

We don't think the Charlton county
