EXTENSION
OF Traction System TO Bridge
port is to Be Made at
Early Date.

There is fairly good assurance
that the street car system will be
extended from Grassel1f to Bridge
port, a distance Of three miles, this
summer. 1t all depends upon
whether two or three property own
ers at the Bridgeport end of the
proposed extension block the
movement.
James B. supler has succeeded in
getting rights OF way distance OF
two or more Of the three miles, but
as yet has not concluded negotia-
tions at that end OF the line. 1t is
hcped that he may DE able to do the
latter.
The extension of the line would
mean mutual benefit to Bridgeport
and clarksburg as all know, and
there is no need of dwelling on this
point. Train facilities are such
that at certain times in the day res
idents of Bridgeport, as well as
Clarksburg, are at disadvantage.
Street cars wnald aosercome this to
large extend. srBesides Both places
want the line.

We may breathe OF the shadows our days have KIN
Should our breathing forever the shades bemoan?
Should we sigh when we tell Of the dim twilight?
There might have been darkness of darkest night
And we might have been left in the gloom to grope,
With never gleam from the star of hope
In the struggle and strife Of this wearing life.
When long for rest worth winning
Let us think OF the woe that souls might know
In idleness dark with shining
When we sail our bark over stormy waves
Without finding the harbor our heart most Graves
And we think had we sailed on another track,
We should never have wished to be sailing back:
Let us think, though the waters are hardly fair,
That we might have found interest shipwreck there
There troubles and tears in the round Of years.
When there might have been peace and laughter
But the peace might have led to deeper dread
And greater disquet after:
And the laughter outring so clear and glad,
Might have ended in tears of all tears most sad,
For the current OF pleasure more closely flows
BY the river OF sorrow than human knows
And we never may tell they onward wend
When the sweet with the bitter may interblend
There wonderful dreams with their glad ming CLEANS
That we're full of delight and beauty;

Might have led u.s. perchance to the wilds of sin
While the path of the present, though rough indeed.
