Casting Shadows

Casting Shadows.
The weather's acting very queer;
Some days are dark and some are
fair:
Sometimes the atmosphere is clear;
Sometimes the fog fills up the air.
Today's a smile. the next's a frown.
It's hard TO tell what 20 expect.
The mercury plays up and down
Until its tube is almost wrecked.
Perhaps the woodchuck might explain
And tell us why the weather changes.
No doubt his dreams are fun of pain
AS in and out his fancy ranges.
And, soundly sleeping. Shade or shine,
Which shall It be7' his visions vary.
(which. shade or sinner What por-
tons mine.
Oh. fateful day OF February"

THINK AGAIN

Should you think your friends nc
faithful.
Think again;
Sunlight always follows darkness.
Not in vain;
Twill obviate your tears.
Signs Of sadness. JOY. or pain,
Your judgment may be faulty
Think again.
Lay not the whip on heavy,
Think again;
You, yourself, may feel the sting,
Not IN vain;
Better smile al cruel Fate,
Weeping oftimes comes too late,
Time alone can regulate
Think again.
DO be mercifui 10 others,
Think again;
Mercy always does rebound.
Not IN vain;
The die that's wrought by Fate,
Is never cast too late.
Time VIII surely compensate
Think again.

WORK ON PUBLIC SQUARE.

County Highway Engineer Hol-
man last Monday began the work of
grading and improving that portion
or half of the streets around the
Court House square next to the
Court House, in accordance with a
recent order of the County Court.
The City Council has taken steps.
as may be seen by the street inn
provement resolution published in
The Times, to have the other half
of the streets on the square graded
and improved in conformity with
the half next to the Court House.
The plan adopted and material To he
used in this work insures Il good,
substantial street bed that will De
creditable to the town aud greatly
add to the appearance of the square.
II will also have the effect of arous-
ing spirit of civic pride and result
in similar improvements on other
streets. The cost for such improve.
ment is not as great as many ina
gine 1t is, il being estimated that
the work on the square will cost
each property owner about one dol.
lar n running foot in front OF his
property. If this Is correct and the
other streets can be put in the same
condition as cheaply, there Is no
reason why agencral street improve
ment boom should not set in. The
town has good system of granitoid
sidewalks that cost the property
owners ms much as this street inn
provemcnt would cost them.

4 lumber concern that has pleased
large number of customers in
Ardmore for the last 90 years is the
one conducted by c. L. VanDenberg
at IL $. Washington St.
Owing to his long residence in
the city and the large number of
customers that have patronized him
since he embarked in business it is
repeating what is already known by
all old residents when we say that
this old reliable dealer is handling
the very best in the way of lumber,
shingles and all kinds of building ma.
terials. He has an established repu.
tation for furnishing both quality and
quantity and he makes the best
prices consistent with the grade.
