The Role of the Commonplace in Literature and Thought
A reflective essay argues that great lines rise from commonplace depths, with Byron and Moore cited to show even masterpieces emerge from ordinary moments. It contrasts lasting insight with memorable but ordinary verse, noting history and daily life shape enduring art and that every age holds greatness in everyday deeds.

Road commission rejects new Middlesex highway project
Elijah C. Hutchinson the state road commissioner refused to accept the Oak Tree and Woodbridge road in Middlesex county after an inspection. The road cost about 100000 with the state share one third. The surface was sound but grades were built five feet above correct level to save excavation, a change authorized by the county engineer and Middlesex freeholders. The freeholders plan to rebuild to specifications and if up to standard the road will be accepted.
