A REAITTTFrrI. HOME pooE-h.

BEAUTIFUL HOME BOOK, has
come to our notice entitled Golden
Thoughts on Mother, Home and
Heaven. Edited by Theo. L. Cuyler,
D. D., and others. Our opinion Of it
is very cleverly expressed in the re-
view given by The Detroit Christian Id
gocdte.
"We scarce can tell, which is most
attractive about this volume, its par
excellent title, its 800 literary gems on
the themes named, its brilliant array
of distinguished writer's, or, its .beauti-
full mechanical execution. It is a
splendid book every way. A copy
should be in every home, where every
mother and every mothers friend can
have access to it." Price, 1915 Gilt

Not wishing to interfere in the least
with any local enterprise, and learning
that the choir of the Catholic Church
in Mount Holly intends giving con-
cert on Christmas night, have decid-
ed to change the date of the second
concert to be given by the Pennsylya-
mia Quartette to Thursday evening of
next week, (Dec. 23d). 1 shall give
the people here an opportunity at the
coming concert of listening not only
to the quartette that entertained the
audience before, but also to a lady
quartette, male quartette and an &C
complished either player. l ask of the
good people of Mount Holly and vicin-
ity their rliberal patronage, assuring
them that they will not be disappointed
in quality or quantity of the pro-
gramme to be presented.

the Court House. The candidates
who remained in the fight to the fin
ish were William G. Harveson, John
NJ. Huff, John F. Riley, John B. Davis,
Daniel B. Smith, and Benjamin Mar,
Jr. The friends of the six candidates
first named were out in force, and the
battle for votes was harder fought than
upon any regular election. The Har-
veson men were confident that their
man would almost receive a majority
over all on the first ballot and when
cautioned by those outside of the fold,
to look out for surprises from the Smith
faction, they laughed at the idea of
Dan receiving anything like one hun
bred votes. On several occasions the
corridor of the Court House resembled
prize fight, several blows being struck.
At a previous meeting David Reeves
was elected Judge, with Robert E..
Nixon and Thomas Allen as Inspectors
and Carrot D. w. Slack as Clerk.
When the polls were closed an
anxious crowd awaited the result. To
the dismay of Harveson's followers,
Smith kept even and sometimes ahead,
until the last vote was counted when
the result was announced as follows ::

import duties had been set apart

having been captured by the bond
holders and bankers, and said many
things we'll calculated to set the
President and the Secretary of the
Treasury thinking. He said that
there was not an obligation that
could not be paid in silver, and
asked why bonds held by foreign

the Secretary in silver as the law
