CENTENNIAL SERVICES

others watched me closely and
talked In q light, child-like manner
to me. The ministers sat on a plat
form that was near six feet high,
while just below and in front Of
them sat six singers. 1t now seems
to me that Messrs. James Boyd,
Anderson Boyd and William Cres-
well were part Of the singers, or
Clerks, as they were then called.
The platform was on the lower
slope, while the congregation was
seated facing it, SO that the seats
rose higher with the slope of the
hill, as they got farther from the
stand.
Unfortunately the records Of the
church are lost down to 1882.
We have reliable information
from some of our older people, that
the first elders were three in num-
Der, that John McCroskey and
Samuel Newell were two Of them,
anu the name of the third is not
known. John McCroskey was
somewhat distinguished as an In
dian fighter. There is no way to
ascertain who the original mem.
bers were.
On the oldest record now in pos.
session of the Clerk there is list
of members, which starts out with
the elders as follows: VIM. Nal.
com, David Ashmore, John Sims
James Upton and James Dunlap
and these are marked as having
been members in 1922. Then, fol-
lows a list of those who were mem
bers in October, 1922, as follows:
Nancy Malcom, VIM. Snoddy
Andrew Cres,uell, Dolly Cres,ceIl
Alex McCauley, Hetty McCauley
Margaret McGanghey, Elizabeth
McGaughey, Sarah McGaughey
David McCroskey,J lane McCroskey
Mary McCroskey, John McCroskey
Ann McCroskey, Sarah Bell, Flort
Sheddan, Mary Ashmore, Elizabeth
Creswell, Sarah Sims, Nancy Sims
James Boyd, Hannah Boyd, VIM
Boyd, ST., Mary McCauley, Marth'
Martin, Nancy Upton, Betsy Boyle
Peggy Boyle, Nelly Boyle, Esthe
Rhea, Margaret Dunlap, Margare
Vance, Betsy Ramsey, Sarah Cum

ry-42 members who belonged t
the church prior to 1922, and wer

There was one addition in 1924,

A Cape May correspondent III the i'hila-
delphia Times has this TO say Of a near
neighbor. "Thc directors Of the West Jer-
sey Railroad came down to-day for a meet
ing and a good dinner with Mr.. Clair. One
of them told me that Dir. Green had made
two millions out Of patent medicines in
ten years. DR. Green thinks that to Judi
claus advertising all OF those who have
thus grown rich owe much Of their success.
Speaking Of his experiences in this connec-
ton he said. u have always found that
my business Increased in proportion to my
expenditures on advertising. 1t is the re-
liable vehicle to draw trade with when you
have reliable goods, Tie ouglt to know,
for it has brought him a fortune and built
him a castle and adorned grounds at
Woodbury. that are the pride Of the place.
BY it he can keep a steam yacht and travel
IN a special ear. Il seems that tact and
good judgment are broad gifts.

state Board OF Agriculture.

The Executive Committee nt the state
Board of Agriculture by invitation of the
Secretary, William :, Taylor, held a meet
ing at his residence at Taylor's lib, near
Burlington. on Thursday OF last week at
which time the full Board was iii atten-
dance and the day was spent under the fine
shade trees on his lawn.
The usual semi-annual business was
transacted. The invitation from Vice Pres
ident Landreth, of the American Exhibi-
ton in London, in 1887, asking the Board
to prepare an agricultural exhibit elected
considerable discussion and was laid over
until a consultation could be held with the
Governor. The condition of the crops and
market were considered, and the Secretary
was instructed to open correspondence
with the neighboring State Boards, with
the view of aseertaining the condition of
staple crops,a and publish the same for the
interest of .Agriculturists of the State.
Hay was reported 51.20, wheat s1.lG,
oats, S1.10, potatoes, Scots, apples, 70 cts,
pears, 80 cts, as the condition of the crops.
Corn was reported short and uneven in the
upper section, bnt making vigorous growth
and promising well. These reports We're
for the counties OF Salem, Cumberland,
Camden, Gloucester, Burlington, Mercer,
Middlesex, Monmouth, Union, Essex, llud-
son, and others.
1t was reported that owing TO the wet
weather, peaches are rotting on the trees,
but in the upper counties there promises
To be a fair crop, especially IN Hunterdon
comfy.

thrown from his carriage while riding in
Philadelphia on Monday morning and dis
located his shoulder.
Charles II. Ware was roughly handled
by a performing bear in Salem the other
day. He was of opinion that the bear was
tame and docile, and having the courage
of his conviction put the the theory in
shape by standing close up to Bruin, but
the latter resented the familiarity and gave
him a clawing that will make him keep a
respectful distance another time.
Mayor Acton, of Salem, WENT to Trenton,
New York, Harrisburg and Philadelphia
last week to secure requisition papers for
James Belden, who was held in Philadol-
phia on the charge of stealing a horse and
