Y., as second-class matter. A town that never has anything to do in a public way is on the way to a cemetery. Any citizen who will do nothing for his town is helping to dig the grave. A man that curses the town fumishea^the coffin; the man who is so selfish as to have no time from his business to give to village affairs, is making the shroud; the man who will not advertise is driving the hearse; the man who is always pulling pack from any public enterprise throws bouquets on the grave. The man who is so stingy as to be howling hard times, preaches the sermon, sings the doxo- logy, and thus the town lies buried from all sorrow and care. ' An exchange gets right down to the truth of an important subject when it says: “ Newspapers are blamed for a lot of things they cannot help,*such as using partiality in mentioning visit ors, giving news about some people.

Editor The Messenger, Dear Sir* ..-v To my friend of Carson’s Column I want to reply briefly and then end my part, of the discussion anent Justices of the Peace vs Lawyers. , Had I your end of the job I certainly would hold views, that differ widely from those ( now hold, and as we seem to be opposed on the one question it should be so. Have you hot undertaken a large con tract when you make effort to elevate the Judiciary? Do you not overstep the bouAda of reason when you state that “ the Justices Court - is more technical than any other Court in the State? A Justices Court technicality personified—A court for a committing magistrate who takes care of “ drunks, ’ ’ “ hobos,” petty thieves, neighborly arguments, school attendance cases, etc. A County Justice’s court that has been ridiculed in song and story for so many years that you, my dear Carson, cannot remember, can hardly bear you out on your new dignity for the job. Of course I’ll admit, that it makes no difference to you whether the moon is made of green cheese or not for if you believe it to be so it is just as good as though it was so. If 1 knew a Justice of the Peace who knew of such a lawyer as you describe I’d find out that lawyer’s name and then I believe the honorable member3 leaving others out, etc. We simply _ ...

The Board of Trade will soon swing into line with some good sug gestions for the betterment of Seaford.

Another improvement, this at the Northern boundary, will be to .work for a Storm shed at the station, which at present has no protection for horse or driver.
