Monday afternoon, little darkey about
ten years old and about knee high to a
grasshopper, was seen hanging around bus
mess places in the centre of the town and
taking in the sights generally. Eventually
he found his way into J. W Goforth's barber
shop and in casual manner permitted his
fingers TO toy with the cash in the money
drawer, while the proprietor was not look
ing. The sudden ACCESSION of ill-gotten
wealth made him regardless Of expense
and he started out TO buy the town, but
had only succeeded in expanding twenty
cents Of the plumber, when he was caught

Growth of Temperance sen,i,nen,

The following, clipped from the People,
Harrisonburg, Va, was written from
Woodstown and will no doubt he of inter
est to our readers:
Local Option was defeated in the New
Jersey Legislature at its last session, yet
the temperance warKers are not diseour-
aged. The w. e. T. {. are well organ
lied and, although they cannot vote, their
influence is not to be ignored. They have
instituted Bands of Hope, which are com
posed of children who are taught to alb
stain from beginning to drink cider. be-
cause that will after awhile whct the ap-
petite Tor something stfQngef The tenn
peranoe sentiment Is stronger than it was
twenty years ago. 1t was then almost an
inyariable custom among farmers to pro-
vide brandy or rum for their hired men
during the harvest season. Now there are
very few who keep up the old custom.
Strong drink was furnished free at public
sales or auctions in order to make purchas-
efs bid freely, a. the willy sellers knew
that few drinks given to a man would
make him feel rich at the time and he lose
his caution and judgment in buying arti-
Giles which he actually did not want.
There are stringent laws in this State
against selling adulteratcd milk OF offer
ing artificial butter fof sale, The fines
and penalties are severe enough to prevent
dishonest OF ayaricious persons from Try
ing that kind of traffic. Yet there is not
any act or law to hinder whisky dealers
or vendors from compromising or making
fiery mixtures to madden the brain or
poison the systems of even so-ealled mode
rate drinkers. If our lawmakers give a
few men the exclusive privilege to manu-
facf,fra AND soil vftn, +baV haya tho Same

Many housekcepers have noticed the ad-
vance in the price of brooms and wondered
what was the reason. The fact is that
there is corner in broom corn, which
year ago was worth $50 ton and is now
worth any where from $3.50 to 3240, being
better than gold even at these figures, for
the.e is no telling how much higher it may
go. The seed which is ordinarily worth
$500 bushel. is now worth elu, and eall-
not be had in sufficient quantities even at
that price. In Central Illinois they want
to put ont l, 800 acres of broom corn this
Spring and as yet have not been able to
get seed enough for $50 acres. In Chicago
alone hundred broom factories have shut
down, owing 10 the scarcity and high price
of stock, and throughout the country
thousands Of factories have either closed
entirely or are running in a very limited
way.

The legislature of New Jersey has passed
many cnactments regulating the catching
of shad in the Delaware river but some of
them are obsolete from the perverse action
Of the noble fish. A year or two since the
law was changed extending the time for the
catch from June 10th to the 18th, but the
fish have put i'll their protest and refuse to
come up the river later than the last of
May in sufficient numbers to make the TAX
ing ofthem profitable They are becoming
very scarce in the Delaware even now, and
it is likely this week will be the last of
many of the large shore fisheries.

Bridgeton had a novel procession last
Thursday. 1t was made by the farmers
of the region round about, in celebration of
the delivery of a half hundred harycsters
and mowers. These were the champion
machines, three oar ioaaa of WHICH arrived
from the works Of Whitley, Fassler A
Kelley manufacturers, at Springfield, Ohio.
Fifty-two teams, with the machines pur-
chased by the owners of the teams, were
in line, beaded by the City Cornet Band
and carriages containing invited guests,
among them Col c. Powell, of Tuckahoe,
this county, one of the company's agents.
70 make this item of more interest to our
readers. We should add that Col. Powell
son, George w. Powell, well known to
most OF our readers, was the travelling
agent through whose efforts the above
sales were made The whole affair reflect
ed much credit upon Mr.. Powell, who has
demonstrated his ability to sell mowers
and binders. and who was highly compli-
mented, the Brdgeton papers state, on all
sides, on the day of display. Like displays
will be made at Woodstown of sales he has
made there, and at other points in our state
A generous entertainment for man and
beast was provided by the Champion Com
pany, after dinner speeches were made, and
a general good time enjoyed. One feature
of the parade was the carrying Of the old
time harvesters, the sickle and cradle. We
feel to congratulate friend George, and
Capt. Babb, the general agent, for their
successful work. The Champion is i'll the
lead among harvesters. Cape Nay STIR.

The Band OF Hope Entertainment.


With perhaps one exception the largest
audience gathered in the Opera House since
it's opening assembled last Friday evening
to witness the performance of the Band of
Hope, which had been looked forward to
with much interest for several weeks, and
fully justified expectation. Precisely at
the hour announced the Band, bearing a
beautiful silllen banner with the inscrip.
ton, "Iremble King Alcohol, we will
grow up entered the audience room sing
ing their marching song with the inspiring
chorus,
Yes, yes, my friends Were coming ON ranks
are firm and strong,
And Wen never pause until we've gained
the day,
For our end is Prohibition, the end viii not he
long,
Ills for GOD ana Home. ana Native Land
we pray
The programme was just long enough,
and enliycned at intervals with chorus
singing by the full Band in excellent tune
and rendered with vim that called forth
hearty applause. REGULATIONS, singing
dialogues, followed each other III rapid
succession, and reflected great credit on
the participants, some of whom were OF
quite tender years, but all were equal to
the emergency. The grand event of the
evening was the triumphal march, partici-
pated in by about twenty couples from
eleven years Of age down. The girls, ar
ranged in single file, the tallest leading and
dressed in white, marched in from one side
of the stage, meeting at the centre file OF
boys of equal number, and turning to the
rear of the stage the procession formed in
couples for one march around, then sepa-
rating the two parties marched in single
file in opposite circles, then down the CEN
tire, weaving in and out in the most intri-
cate fashion until the whole was finally ar
ranged in 4 semi-circle facing the audience
and joined in singing temperance song;
then more marching, with perfect step and
time, to the music o! tile piano, without a
baulk or a breakdown on the part OF any,
while the house rang with applause loud
and long continued The little ones filed
off the stage only to be recalled by storm
of applause that would not be quoted
until the whole march was gone through
second time We will undertake TO say
that no better satisfied audience over dis
persed from place of amusement than that
which witnessed this entertainment. The
Superintendent Of the Band, Miss Nellie
Wilson, with those who have ably assisted
her. deserve infinite credit iof the whole
performance. We are pleased to know
that the children realized Il nice little sum
from the entertainment, which will serve
to purchase books and supplies for their
work.
