the z NJ c. A, will occur on Monday

'Ingersollism from Secular Stand
point" Mr.. Vending has gained the
reputation Of being the equal Of Bob
Ingersoll in oratory, and stands al the
head Of all lecturers as clear and deep
thinker. It is due to the management
of the association that the citizens turn
out and give Mr.. Vending a crowded
house. They have been instrumental IN
placing before the Saltwater people some
of the best talent on the American stage
and as matter of fact their success has
tended largely to elevate the tone Of Sc

appreciation of first class lecturers.
For the past few weeks our citizens
have been discussing the propriety Of
having anew pOStOIlCe anu also IIc iJlsCe
to locate it. We are sadly in need Of
better postoffice accommodations than
we now have, but how we are to get them
seems not so certain. The postoffice de-
partment at Washington has informed
their special agent that 500 is all that
will be allowed Saltwater for postoffice
conveniences. No building with the
necessary conyenienees could be rented
for such small amount. This may be
economy, but we prefer to call it by
another name. We are city with a
population of some ten thousand, and
have right to demand of the depart
ment better accommodations, and we
also have right to expect that our de
mands will be granted. If our business
men will take hold of the matter in good
earnest the change can be accomplished
