and 70 hear the noble workers present

morality. must say think We should be
proud Of such wofnen A. composed this
convention. Such intellect. such order and
ability. as | saw there displayed are not
often equaled in any assembly Of the kind.
While listened my desire WAS that every
woman in America. and indeed, IN the
whole world, could hear them sTeak and
feel the great need Of more such workers.
Why cannot every woman lend helping
voice: lend to this noble work-this way
Of saving souls
Surely many mothers Of The Helping
Hand are to-day suffering from the con-
sequences Of intemperanee and other i'm
morality in their homes, who ought TO urge
each other On 70 help in this great work Of
reform. 1t will do more tn bring about al

Prohibition a blessing.

4 German voice is heard from Kansas,
saying that temperance is blessing. Here
is its exact utterance: Like most Ger
mans, | was very much opposed to prohi-
bition before it was adopted in our State.
Indeed, my aversion was so great that
earnestly contemplated selling my farm
and turning my back ON Kansas. At the
time | held it to be great shame to live in
a State where drinking was not free. For
tunately for me, | could not SELL | say
fortunately, because have since found that
| was greatly mistaken. The State, in
stead Of going down, as was prophesied by
the liquor party, has experienced the
height Of prosperity. 1t was said that i'm
migration would cease if prohibition was
adopted, but the reverse took place. I'm
migration increases every day, and the
price Of land has raised in value consid-
eraDly. Farmers are in better circum-
stances than ever before. Any man who
opens his eyes can be convinced Of this
fact. Before prohibition was introduced,
drinking and loafipg was going on at every
corner. Money was scarce and credit was
the watclword Of all business. But now
almost everything is sold for cash at pub
lie auctions and paid for on the spot, which
is certainly good proof that prohibition
does 10 harm. - Witness.

The real estate sold on Saturday last by
the executors of VIM. Beckett. deceased,
brought very satisfactory prices. The
homestead, containing thirty-iye acres,
brought $3.50 per acre, and the farm where
on Chas. r. Newkirk resided so many
years, sold for 38S per acre. Both Of these
farms, together with all the cedar swamp,
were purchased by Enos Hickman, Of Port
Royal. Pa. The conditions being much
more liberal than cash were changed so
far as effected the property bought by Mr..
Richman and at his request and on Tues
day Of this week, deeds were given him.
and tie entire purchase money paid over
Mr.. Riehman was employed many years as
a travelling agent by the Government.
Chas. r. Newkrk. who was forced to
move by the sale Of this property, has
since purchased farm Of A. T.. Richman,
Of Malaga, containing about 100 acres
on the road from Shirley to Elmer, at 800
per acre. By the sale Of these farms, it
will be seen that real estate in Upper Pitts
grove has not deprecated at correspond
ing ratio to property OF that kind in other
parts of the county. The cause must be
the superior quality Of the property, com
bned with the excellent moral and relig-
ious character Of the people.

A rumseller was converted last week,
and Immediately after his conversion he
went to the men who had signed his appli-
cation and urged them to become christians.
One Of the signers was a member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. That this
church member needs to be converted we
have no doubt, and no true christian will
pray the courts to license men to become
drunkard makers.
How is it that when a rumselIer is con-
verted he not only gives up his business,
but exerts all his influence to destroy the
liquor business? We know a number Of
converted rumsellers, and every one of
them is in favor of Prohibition and opposed
to high license.

ing evil is of God.-7emp Gazette.

Application will be made to the Legisla-
tnrc at It's next session for an act To set off
that portion Of the township Of Lower
Alloways Greek lying north Of Allomays
Creek and annex the same To the township
of Elsinboro. This will make the creek
the boundary line between the two town
ships, and transfer about 1900 acres from
Lower Alloways Creek to Elsinboro. This
change has long been desired by the prop
erty owners and residents in the section
affected, as they are now located in the
Elsinboro school district. and obliged to
pay taxes there. Tie change Of lines
would add some thirty-one votes to Elsin-
boro, but as they are about evenly divided
between the two political parties, it would
not in the least affect the status Of either
party. The petitioners feel that the de-
inand is just one. and are very anxious
that the change shall be made.-SalsDa
