In Old Virginia.
Here in old Virginia,

Here in old Virginia,
From the mountains to the sea,
Gods piled up stone and gravel
Just as mandy as can be.
He intended us to use it,
No doubt, in building roads,
To tighten some the burdens
Of the beasts that draw our loads.
But the rock is where He placed it
And the gravels in the pit,
Waiting unborn generations
To construct our roads of it.
We just keep on a-pulling
Through the mud and up the grade
Building roads with good intentions
Like the devils own are made.
We've got to answer for it
On the resurrection morn,
When good old angel Gabriel
Sounds the summons on his horn.
We've got to give good reason
Why we didn't use that stone
To the King of Golden Highways
Sitting there upon His throne.
We'll have to stand before Him
And confess that we've been slow
To carry out His wishes
In this matter here below;
Stand there with guilty conscience,
Hear some supervisor say:
Good Lord. we lowed to use it
If you hadn't come to-day"

"NOTHIN' DOM"

It is an old saying that ''you can lead a
horse to water, but you cannot make hin
drink" We wonder whether or not this np-
plies to the recommendations Of the Public
Utility Commission in regard to the improve
ments at the Central railroad station in this
city The commission has led the railroad to
position where it promises to make improve
ments, but thus far these promises have not
been fulfilled.
If there is any time of the year that lights
are needed at a railroad station it is during
the winter months when the days are short.
Winter is rapidly passing and we are still
forced to put up with the inconveniences that
have been source of complaint here for a
great many years.
In the first place. the heavy tin hoods placed
over what lights there are at the station
should be removed. They simply concentrate
the light on little spot at the station, leaving
the rest as dark as night can make it. One of
the reasons given for these hoods is that the
bright lights are annoying to the engineer as
he approaches the station. But other stations
are brightly Illuminated and we do not see
why there should be such precautions taken
only at Perth Amboy. Besides removing these
hoods from the lights already at the station,
several more should be added, in accordance
with the suggestions of the Public Utility
Commission, and the lights should be placed
along the paths leading to the station.
These cold days when men and women want
to stay inside the waiting room, the seating
capacity is entirely inadequate. The utility
commission suggested plan for some relief,
but nothing has yet been done.
We feel that Perth Amboy has been very
patient in this matter. The railroad now has
had ample time to make the changes it prom
ised. If the improvements are not forthcom-
ing at once some action should be taken to
bring about the improvements desired.
