OF News After Sickness.
As cold waters to thirsty soul, so
lis good news from far country.

who represent Newblny in every state
of the Union, will state that Newbury
is very much alive. Her broad and fer
tile meadows have yielded their in
crease. The farmers barns are full and
there is an appearance Of prosperity
Everywhere in evidence Coal strikes,
! railroad strikes and all other strikes do
mot seem to bother staid old Newbllry
very much. There is wood on our hills.
There are turnips and potatoes in our
lbins. There is contentmcnt on our faces
and in the words Of the late Horace w.
Bailey we can rejoice when we say that
sthis is Newbury. and thank God New
bury is my home The items as they
have appeared from time to time in the
Newbury column may seem fiat and
| silly. but to the homesick man or wom-
an in far country they are, perhaps,
thirsty soul Who knowsg So. gentle
Newbury reader, If you don't like the
items as they appear from time to

chewing gum and pipe and tobacco, and
then try and improve the tone of the
column by writing some items your
self DO it every week faithfully, fur
|nis5 your own postage and paper and
take your pay in kicks. You viii find
it a fat job which we viii cheerfully
relinquish TO any volunteer who will
take up the work.
