The Climax Fire Extinguisher did good
service at Woodbury., one day last week
A fire broke out in frame kitchen attached
to brick dwelling occupied by Fred. Bal
linghoff, and the extinguisher kept the
flames under control until the arrival of the
engine, when the fire was subdued. We
have three of these extinguishers in Woods
town.
Mr.. White in his new advertisement in
another column calls attention to the Key
stone Coin Silver Watches, which he is
running in his clubs. The improvement in
these over other watches consists of a pro-
tector placed around the works, which
excludes the dir and dust, and saves ex-
penseiby not requiring clearing so frequent

The other evening while Miss Aida
Turner was boating on the mill pond
pike jumped from the water and landed in
her lap The same thing happened to an
other yong lady Of our town few weeks
ago and was cironicled in THE MoNIroR.
The fish are becoming reckless and should
be 1labored with. This way of jumping
out of the water into the frying pan is SIM
ply suicidal. But Woodstown girl would
fascinate even a fish. I itF
AS will be seen by advertisement in an
other column the Vanmeter property on
Salem Street now occupied by John
Holmes, will be offered at public sale Oh
Saturday, September 9th. This is a very
desirable property and the sale affords a
rare opportunity for any one to procure
handsome residence near the business CEN
tire of the town.; The heirs of Albert VAN
meter, deed, with his widow, Ann Van
meter iOir In the sale
Our making up this week is not strictly
according to the usual printing Office rules,
nor with our own intentions, but the I'M
ayoidable hurry of fitting out the first
number from a new office without previous
routine as a guide compels us to ask for
bearance at the hands of those who have
favored us with contributions and advertise
ments some of which are crowded out
from the fact that our outside pages went to
press before they were handed in, .4
n Ground Hog, a Cherokee Indian, who
has been sentenced to death for murder,
elects to be shot. If he is the Ground Hog
who comes out of his hole in February of
each yearIand predicts six weeks more of
bowling, blizzardly weather, shooting is
too good for him.-Nqrrist0srn Herald.
~ We suspect he is the Ground Hog that
nington to commune with every spring.
We always thought the yarmint would
come to some bad end.
! The meeting i'm the Baptist Chapel on
Tuesday to arrange for musical class and
convention under leadership of Professor
Pierce was not largely attended on account
of the rain, but those present manifested
much interest i'll the matter, and II names
were secured to enter the class. In view
of the absence OF many Of our young folks
at camp meeting, and on their summer vaca-
tions it was decided to defer the organiza-
ton until September, at which time we will
more fully explain the plan. ,n.a
