Our township dads, as he calls them, aro not so close fisted when it comes down to the lino thing. They will spend lots of money near their own formes but if the grumblers ask for 1t certain amount to put on the 7111 con- 0014eien they can't get it. I do not think there 10 another 0o1100aai0ll in the town. ship gets as little money epent on it as the 7th and I must say it is a shame to the Council. I must say they have spent a little on the 7th this year but they would need to spend as much more in chopping it out. If left alone it will soon bo grown up with bushes. Yon can hard- ly get along after arain for getting your- selves wet, As "Common Sense" told the boys not to okrimp things too lino bub to save all the money for the township. Self praise is no recommendation. A man's praise smells sweet when it comes out of other mop's months but in hie own it stinks. Grow your own °berries but don't sing your own praises, it is an ill bird that fouls its own nest so that is the way with ',Common Sense."
