"WATTS" IN A NAME I "ASKEW."

In talking of names, around Eltham we see Regular mixtures, just listen to me: There are "Gardiners," "Butchers," and "Bakers" galore, "Colemen," "Carters," "Carmen," and even a "Stohr," "Goldfinches," "Parrotts," "Drakes," and a "Henn,' "Doves/' "Hawkes," and "Peacocks," all in one pen. The flag's represented by "Red," "White" and "Blue," "Brown,'' "Green," "Grey." and "Black" there are also a few. A "Forrester" "Burrows" through Bueke"ridge" and "Hill," With "Hart," "Foot" and "Kneebone" he works with a will; Like a "Hunter" without a "Boyle" on his "Boddie," Makes a "Dive" .for a "Blackstock" for use as 11 waddy. When "Bonn-efts" the railway, he loses his "Strack,", The "Town-send#' its police force who fetches him back. Being "Good" "Walkers," "Weir" now at the "Barr," Testing a "Goldstone" brought from afar, Using "Strong" "Grimstone" in too great a hurry A "Liglitbourne" I've got, Oh! "Heavens," "Moore" worry. As "Bridgers" of "Waters" you can't beat our "Caves," "Deaths" you will note, fill up all our "Graves." "Ware" all are such "Chalmers" I must here de-"Clare," We've "Pease," "Bunns," and "Onions," with "Pickles" to spare. Tlicre are "Trewieks" and "Crabtrees"; \ oil! let's "Haverbier," Come "Ncwlove," my "Truclove," there's nothing to fear. "Priestly" "Parsons" and "Clarkes," a "Fake" and a "Uuy," And a frail little "llose," so slender, so' shy. Ou the "List" there's a "Cartwright" without any fellies, By "Crumps" there are masculine genders "Miskellies." With "Hobbs" come the "Cooks" armed with their "Cleavers," "Naylors" and "Taylors" on "Myhitt" with "Feavers." There were dark' days of old on account of the "Knights," And the absonce, I'm told, of the "Best" Wizard Lights. So before buying others you'll make no mistake, If you see Early Bros., or their agent, H. BLAKE. Wizard Lights are lit with a match, fitted with an automatic cleaning needle, and the coat of a two-point plant, is £ls. Each additional light 10s. Write at once for a FREE Booklet to 11. 11. Blake, P.O. Box 03. Phone 120, Eltham.
