With permis sion we give a speciman verse of the latest poem of that great poet. Oh speckled hen, So serene and calm. With gentle cluck and purr. Like some ancient psalin. Thou has gently furrowed For lifes brsad with feet. And for renewed vigor Thou doth grit thy teeth —We sadly deplore the fact that the Ashton village board, with the aid of their street commissioner and road overseer, owing to lack of funds, cannot grade up Ashton main street as has been intended. The mam street becomes a veritable nmd hole after every rain, bat. as bad as the citizens and board hate to see it, it cannot be helped. Several years ago an effort was made for fire pro tection in the village, and in the neighborhood of throe or four hun dred dollars was speut for wells, engine and hose, which are now rot ted and useless. Why not give the Ashton village board the power to expend a like sum on grading up our street, and if a system of drain age is needed go after it in good will. It has to be done some time and might just as well be doue now ss later, on and if necessary vote a small bond to do so. It sounds all right to talk of economy and econo mizing, but we suggest that there are two factors in economy to be looked into: First; the cost of do ing the work now and the eilect latsr on. Give our street commiss ioner and road bosses power and fund* and you will see good work and effect.
