The Cape May Star has the follow
ing to say in regard to the Rev. G. F..
Bishop, a former resident of this city,
and son of the late Gideon X. Bishop:
Pastor Bishop, of the NJ. E. Church,
is about to sever his connection with
that congregation, having served the
three years which the Conference fixes
as the extent of a pastors term. Mr.
Bishop has served faithfully and well,
and has given earnest attention to all
the interests of the church. His ser
mons have been of the most practical
kind, yet showing deep research and
careful arrangement. As the head of
the Sunday School he has not only
maintained the excellent standard il
had attained, but has in many ways
improved its interests. and for the mis-
sionary cause alone has doubled the
receipts.

How to Kill a Town.

If you wish to keep a town from
thriving, don't put up any more build
ings than you can conveniently occupy
yourselves. If you should accidently
have an empty dwelling, and any one
wants to rent it, ask him about three
times the actual value for it. Demand a
Shylock price for every inch of
ground God has given you stewardship
over. Turn a cold shoulder to every
mechanic or business man seeking a
house among you. Look at every new
conner with a scowl Run down the
work of every new workman. Go
abroad for wares rather than trade
with those who seek to do business in
your midst. Fail to advertise or in
any way support your paper, so that
the people abroad may not know
whether any business is going on in
your town or not. Wrap yourself up
with a coat of impervious selfishness.

A Good Nomination.

Republicans, let us act together next
Tuesday, and thus elect a Republican
Mayor. 1t has been twelve years since

Fall that there ought to be change in
the Presidency because the Republi-
cans had been in control so long 1t is
in order now for the Republicans of
Bridgeton to make the same argument
on the Mayoralty. Let us have a
change"
