FILTHY MoUNF>HoLLY.
DEDICATED TO THE PEOPLE OF
THE TOWN.


Filthy Mount Holly, village Of dirt,
How oft on thy streets my limbs have
been hurt;
What mountains Of nastiness rise 10 my
view
AS walk from the depot the main streets
through.
Oh, look at the slime in each reekipg
roadway,
Where people must tread and wicked
things say,
l have known dirty towns, but the place
whence to fee,
Is filthy Mount Holly, where the Stun
is sea.
Filthy Mount Holly, unsavory town,
Where visitors gaze at Thy cutters and
frown.
No Improvements are made from a mis-
guided fear,
Yet more than thousand is squandered
each year;
All that's beastly to sight, all that's sick'n-
ing to. smell,
Thy citizens know -more's the pityr-too
we'll.
! have known dirty towns. but the place
whence to flee,
Is filthy Mount Holly, where the slum is

The dangers arising from unclean eel
lars have time and again been exposed,
and yet there are many persons who pay
no attention to the subject until in case of
sickness the family doctor gives peremp-
tory orders to thoroughly clean and disin-
feet. If kept perfectly free from decay
ing matter and ventilated so as to drive
out all noxious smells, no trouble will be
caused. So many householders, however,
neglect these precautions that a distin-
guished physician advocates the building
of houses without cellars holding that the
gases generated therein poison the atmos-
phere and expose dwellers shove to vari-
GUS forms of disease-notably typhoid
and dangerous fevers. Be sure that your
cellars are sweet and clean and your
chances for health will be wonderfully In

Who SHOULD INsuRE?--

WHO SHOULD INsURE?--
A husband holds the family together.
When he dies, the happy group is scatter
ed. A helpless wife and children, infrm
and aged parents, brothers and sisters,
mourn his loss.
He can leave them q shelter from the
storms of adversity; If you are husband
and do not kaoV that in case of your death
your Wits will be exempt from money
troubles; that she will be able to care for
and educate your children, as you will do
ifyour life be spared; II you have not
seen to 1t, that the bitter personal loss
your loved ones will feel at your death,
shall not be aggravated by Strengthened
resources, then an Immediate duty rests
upon you. You support your family
handsomely; they have all that they need
and all that they wish; you are living up
to your full income. Do you never think
what little thing may darken ali their
fntnre-that Raunt Want may, in Few
brief months stare them ID the facs--or
cruelest stab to a noble mind--they may
be obliged to live upon the bounty Of
strangers RI.
Or you are conscientiously depriving
your family of comfort and culture that
you may save something to keep them
from beggary in the event of your early
death. Do you know that a premium Of
life insurance will set your other income
free to be applied to education and Gull
tivation, and all that makes home val
liable and dear?
Perhaps no reason keeps more people
from insuring their lives than the fear that
if they are unable, or indiposed, to keep
up their premium payments to the very
end, no fair return will be made on ac-
count of what has been already paid in;
the contract, they say, is like the handle Of
anything, all on one side. This is not so
and to prove it, go talk to Colonel
Sloan about this matter, you can always
find him at his office in the Arcade build
ing. He can give you points that we can
not think of, and facts and figures in
which you can place the utmost reliance.
Go at once. Delays are dangerous"

FLORENCE

FLORENCE
Onslast Tuesday evening the children
of the public school under the mastery
direction of the principal Mr.. Sexton and
his assistant Mr.. Haines, gave most ex-
cellent concert in which the chief actors
did their part nobly, and were credit
to their tutors as well as themselves. So
also the young ladies that came from
Bordentown TO ASSET the noble efforts of
Mr.. Sexton, whose names I could not as
certain, did their part without fault and
deserve much credit. The various cos
tunes prepared for the eight tableaus that
SO beautifully portrayed the objects and
scenes they were intended to, were very
appropriate as we'll as expensive. The
acting was skilfully done and the only
drawback was the time between the acts;
but considering the children have never
had any experience In that line before l
think it could be called a success, there
being between $50 and 800 persons pres
emit.
There was also hearty thunder show
er the same evening about o'clock which
] think is somewhat unusual for Us to
have in the month of February.
The minds of the people Of our town
We're pretty well occupied last week be-
tween the two events that TRANSFERRED; 1st
the lecture or account of the "Old-time
Negro" AZ delivered by the Rev. A. J..
Raymond in the Baptist church, which
was the cause of much merriment to
many on account of the quaint old say
ing and the turbulent trials of his subject,
Ezekiel Washington" in getting married
and the final desertion of good old Eek
lei by his sable beauty almost as soon as
the honeymoon had expired, or we may
say the troubles attending the married
state.
End, the baptism, an event that usual
ly draws goodly number of people, but
on account of the tide in the river Del
aware being at the desired height much
sooner than on the previous occasion,
there was not so many present. Alto, 40
the Rev. o. BuddingtoD, followed by five
converts dressed in black gowns for the
occasion, started for the beach near the
river. At 10,45, after the choir had sung
few lines the first convert entered the
water and ten minutes from that time
they were all baptized. The company,
about $50 in number, commenced to dis
perse, and many, judging from the pleas
ant expression of their countenalces, were
well pleased that those who were near
and dear to them by the ties of nature
were now in the fold of Christ and inside
the pale of the same church.
With gladdened hearts, and joyful eyes,
The happy throng dispersed,
And with them, those who dear in ties,
Quite recently immersed.
And thus the happy throng dispersed,
Vending their various ways,
Each on the pleasant theme conversed,
Beneath the suns calm rays.

to the two years term of imprisonment of
John Gallagher, the lsst conviction being
for simple assault. It was expected that
he would be taken to prison on Monday,
unless he got another ''stay" upon an ap-
plica tion for new trial. Gallagher is
well-known in our Courts and his present

The new boarding house in course Of
erection above the depot has been enclosed
for some days. A large portion of the
cellar walls fell in when the building was
raised; various causes are assigned for it.
Some assert that it was caused BY the
immense weight of the frame placed upon
it, while others attribute the cause to the
mortar being SO thick, composed partly
of unslaked lime, which in shaking caused
it to give way. Mr.. Thomas Phares one OF
your Mount Holly mechanics was sum-
moned to repair the cripple and we trust
there will be no further trouble with it.

candidates will soon begin to look
