Read
this Imporiant
Paragraph
from
a letter
from the Faciory
of the
famous Tires
THE TIRE OF
SUPERIOR
QUALITY
AT A MUDERATFE PRICE.
"‘We pay
our Workmen
in
Tires
a very
high
wage.
We keep the number
of each
Tire
whnich
each
man
makes.
Then, if
there
are
any just complaints,
we refer
to the number
of the Tire, and
the
man
who
has
made
it have
to pay
¢he
claim.
The
workmen
agree
to
this,
because
they receive
very much
higher
pay
than
ils
custoniary
in
other
factories;
and
by
having
to
pay
the
claim
—i:
there
is
any--is undoubtedly
the
cause
that
they
take
special
care
in
the
construction
of
these
tires; and
to this is due
the
great
record
of the ‘*VikingTires’’.

Tomorrow,
August,
30,
Mr. and
Mrs.
C.
E. Leevy of Estate
La
Grande
Prin-
cesse,
celebrate
their golden wedding
on
which oceasion
we join with the'r friends
and
relatives
here
and abroad
in
warm
congratulations
and all good wishes.
Mr.
and
Mrs. C. E. Leevy are
among
the old-
est and
most
respectable
people of
this
community and it is safe
to say
are
very
popular
and
highly regarded.
It is
not
many
who have the opportunity of reach-
ing fifty years
of
wedded life,
and
still
fewer
who attain
that
distinetion
with
the
haleness
this
happy
pair
possess.
This
union
has
been
fruitful
too,
Mrs.
Esman
of Recovery
Hill being
a daugh-
ter and
former
Assistant
Judge
Leevv,
now in
Denmark,
a
son
of
the
happy
couple.
Another
son
died
in
America
some
time
ago.
We
trust
the
day
will be
spent
en-
joyably
and
that
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Leevy
will be surrounded
by many well wishers.

Correspondence
Editor of the Avis.
;
Dear Sir,
-
I
beg kindly
for
a little
space
in
yvour paper
to
comment
a
little
on
the
last election
which
took place
on Friday.
As
a native I should
say
it
was
very
sad
that Mr.
Roberts
was again
disap-
pointed
in
not
securing
his
election
as
member
of the Colonial
Council.
I don’t
know
if
Mr.
Roberts
has
a
determine
disposition,
or if he
is willing
to
give
up
afight
peacefully;
or it
he
-still
holds
to the
good
old
school
song
which
we
all
in
olden
days
had
good
faith
in and
which
used
to
cheer
us
so
much:—
“*lf at first you don’t succeed,
Try! try! try again.”’
Now,
I do not
mean
in the least
to in-
sinuate
directly
on ;Mr.
Roberts’
disap-
o..atment,
waicn
can
and
will in
the
future
happen
to
others,
but,
I
would
like to contest
the old school
song—with
beautiful little
verse[ learnt
when
I
ttended
the Sunday
School of the
‘"Pro-
tapt*
Episcopal
Church
of
England”’
rars
ago.
This
little
verse
has
.our
lines,
but
befoure
writing
the
se,
I want
to say
that every body is
4ppy and delighted
with
the
* three
top
lines,”’
““‘But’’, this
word
but
is
among
the
most
miserable
words
at times.
;
But
I
must
venture
to be
very
boid
and
hereby
beg
to
offer
a challenge
in
the
‘‘entire population’”’ of
St.
Croix,
myself
included,
who
can
pubiicly
say
that
he,
or she,
has
been,
is
and for the
future,
‘‘willbe’’,
happy, delighted
and
satisfied
with the ‘‘last line”’.
What
a
blessing
if any
of
us
would
condescend.”’
The Lorij
is
my
Shepherd,
how
happy
am
I,
How tender
and
watchful
my
wants
to
supply;
He
daily provides
me
with raiment
and
food
What’er
He
denies
me,
is
meant
for
my good.
