Fine Oysters.

Our Thanksgiving table. among gifts
of other good friends. was supplied
with delicious oysters by the ''old reli-
able" Brown Brothers-for which our
thanks for this kindly remembrance is
extended. As usual they were of fine
size and favor.
This year oysters are fatter and the
quality generally better than for many
seasons. The U. S. Government de-
clares that during these times of ex-
pensive living. oysters furnish more
nourishment for the cost than do most
other foods. Andl then how good they
are prepared in many different ways.
as Brown Bros. for instance know how
to serve them.

The Best Letter.

You may write thousand letters t
the maiden you adore
And declare in every letter that yor
love her more and more.
You may praise her grace and beauty
in . thousand glowing lines
And compare her eyes Of azure with the
brightest star that shines.
II you had the pen Of Bryon you would
use it every day
In composing written worship to your
sweetheart far away:
But the letter far more welcome to an
older, gentler breast
Is the letter to your mother from the
boy she loves the best.
Youthful blood is fierce and flaming ard
when writing to your love
You win rave about your passion swear
ing by the stars above;
Vowing ~ the moons white splendor
that the grille you adore
Is the one you'll ever cherish as no
maid was loved before.
You will pen full many a promise on
those pages white and dumb
That you never can live up to IN the
married years to come.
But n much more precious letter, bring
ing more and deeper bliss,
Is the letter to your mother from the
boy she cannot Kiss.
She will read it very often when the
lights are soft and low.
Sitting in the same old corner where,
she held you years ago,
And regardless of its fiction or its spell
ing or its style,
And although its composition would
provoke critics smile.
In her old and trembling fingers it be.
comes work of art,
Stained by tears of joy and sadness as
she hugs it to her heart.
Yes. the letter of all letters look wher-
ever you may roam,
Is the letter to your mother from her
boy away from home.

WE'D. APRIL l6, 1913.

1t is not our purpose to impose
on the readers of The News by
our insistency for better public
conditions, for the building of
good roads and the many other
movements that tend to advance
in this part of the country.
Whether our proposition is right
or wrong, good or bad, pro-
gressive or destructive as to the
building of roads and paying for
same by borrowing the money on
reasonable time, is left to the
judgment of those who are will
ing to investigate. In giving our
views on the bond issue PROPOSE
ton they have been given in an
open, honest manner while those
who opposed have been published
as received at this office, and now
we withdraw the invitation for
further discussion. 1t was our
purpose and desire to bring
about due consideration of the
most important public necessity
that affects the well-being of
this section, and in so doing
develop a system of building
substantial roads, but the mark
has been missed, passion ruled
and the object lost. The would
be saviors of our country rushed
to the front, and instead of pre-
senting arguments, in discussing
a vital proposition, appealed tt
passion and prejudice. As
stated in the beginning, no one
man can change conditions il
this county, and failing to re
ceive support in our position NJ
further pursuit is advisable. II
bidding adieu TO the proposition
to build good roads, we desire tt
say that this county can no
prosper under present conditions
Business expansion will no
come, neither will values in
crease. If such conditions sui
the people it is useless to insis
Tor change. Those who wan
better roads, who like activit.
and growth can receive. tn
same by going elsewhere.
