THE SENSIBLE MAN. The Sensible Man will change his ideas if convinced that he is wrong. He will look upon the human race as prone to err and will overlook some faults in people as a consequence. The Sensible Man will do considerable listening and let others do the most talking, and bv so doing gain knowledge, and make less enemies. He will recognize the fact that there is two right sides to every question and will hesitate to anger the man who holds opposite views lest he relinquish all hopes that he make his opponent see his side. Lastly, the Sensible Man observes the sacredness of private affairs and has his nose so shortened and trained that it instinctively points awav from all mysteries concerning the other fellow. Next week we slfall discuss the Cowardly Man, who has some of the Sensible Man’s habits in a highly exaggerated state. The Milford Mail of last week says. “For a number of years the citizens of Syracuse have shown a cold feeling for the town of Milford and for reasons unknown to our people, and when we ask for improvements this bitter feeling comes to the surface. The citizens of Milford held in their hands the power and influence at one time* to prevent the passage of a bill which would have prevented the Portland Sanduky Cement Co from placing a dredge in Syracuse Lake, and had we shown the same feeling that is now extended to us it is quite possible that the wheels of this great factory might have - been stilled forever.” If there ever has been a cool feeling existing here in Syracuse towards Milford it has been caused by the inflamatory articles that appear in the Mail from time to time. We however, are'unaware of any ill feeling, being prone to look upon the neighboring hairlet in the same light as we would view Monoquet, > Oswego, and a dozen other such villages in this vicinity. Their assertion that they held the power to prevent legislation on the bill once introduced in Indiana to put the cement works out of existence is pure buncombe and a foolish pretension. The fact of the matter is that at this time a petition was circulated tn Milford in the interests of our factory, and was signed by just two men, Ed Higbee and Win. Felkner. The Writer is inclined to be optimistic about the future of Syracuse. The foundry is not the only good thing in sight. Several other matters that are as yet not in a condition to be made public would prove of great help in making bur town progress. A new business block is one of the things that may be looked for in the future should business conditions warrant its building. Travellers with a penchant for mild language are hard put for expressions that will describe the present running of passenger trains on the B. & 0.

J3B YEARS AGO. • Excerpts From The Files Os The Syracuse Enterprise Os Feb. 25, 1875. » Sleighing is splendid and many of our citizens are enjoying it. . Mr. J. N.
