 A very interesting article by George NJ. Marckres about the Sharon Water Co. was printed in last weeks Amenia Times. MT.

This is very Interesting work to watch, but the workmen ale not to be envied as t!fey are at it in all kinds of weather and judging. from the noises which disturb Sharon's otherwise peaceful air, they are ct it late at night. The same holds lesson for anyone who cares to-take it: When you have a piece of work to do stick to it steady until it Is done. In other words, "Do it now"
 It seems as if people who attend dances etc, and stay out until all hours of the night, might have a little consid- eration for the stay at homes. It is not pleasant to be wakened at two or three o'clock in the morning by a party of singing, shouting, roistering merry makers. It might be very injurious to a sick person to be wakened by such noises as these, but of course the merry makers care nothing for other peoples health or comfort, they are merely out for good time and are going to have it at any cost.
