HOTEL sQUIBs.
Mrs. Hoyt. of Buffalo, N. Y, and
Mrs. Dubosque, of Philadelphia, board
ers at the hotel de French, we're" both
born the same year, 1904.
G.. W. Cole, of New York, a boarder
at the hotel will have his diving appar-
atus perfected in a short time. 1t is
claimed by the inventor that it is pos
sihle to stay under water almost any
length of time without danger, no air
pump being necessary as is the case
with ordinary diving suits.
Three families are now %quartered at
the hotel that left the sea shore on ac-
count of mosquitoes.
Among the guests summering at the
hotel is f. Eoyt, of Chicago, the inven-
tor of Itoyt's railroad switch, said to
be II wonderful invention, and II that
entirely does away with the deadly frog
which causes so many accidents.
The hops Saturday evenings in the
rink are one of the attractions popular
with the young folks.
No more room for permanent board
ers at the hotel after Saturday. A few
rooms are reserved fortransient guests.
lBoarders are Invited to contribute
briefly anything of interest under this
laalInn lnttnr uiut.,n THAR nnIntnn

OUR T0wN
is visited by many hundreds of strang-
ers during the hummer months. Many
who live in it do not fully appreciate its
many advantages until reminded OF
them by some observant visitor who
at nee sees its beautiful site, its east
ness and cheapness of access and feels
the effect of tine cool r~einvigorting
breezes from off the Delaware river.
Although Penus Grove has II bad repu-
tation, but is worthy Of IA better one,
very few Ct the rough city characters
come here. Its visitors are Of the mid
die class of moderate means aud order
ly character. They come to enjoy them
selve where they can get most for their
money with but little temptation to
spend, and they do it s % well that they
return next year to enjoy ''the poor
mans Cape May"
Our town has greatly increased in
size and beauty the past few years by
the building of some very pretty resi-
dents. Improvements have been made
in drainage, the roads and foot paths,
YET there are other small things which
are over looked 10y some our citizens
which might improve the appearance
of u toYn the strangers who notice
such things which, being so common
to you, are not thought of; suchas keep
ing the streets clear ct rubbish, the
trees trimmed aud clear of succors.
Says an observant traveller, who has
spent some weeks in our town: "cut
the succors from around your trees and
both your neighbors and the trees will
thank YOU
When strangers enter IA town and see
il public interest in it by its neat and
thrifty appearance they say, at once,
enterprising people are there who take
"A pride in their town. If on entering
IA town lots of rubbish and a dead horse
first strikes their view they have a bad
impression of its public enterprise.
Why the railroad has let the burned To-
connective stand at Penns Grove so ing
we do not know, as its space would be
more slightly than its presence. Then
there is the old hook and ladder truck
which has been left to decay. When
our citizens see some houses in ashes
they will see the need of better care OF it.
Let the people awaken to their pub
lie interest, as well as private, which
are most noticed by visitors. by do
ing so other men may be led to invest
in property here as Mr.. samuel Sheble
has done and thereby help to improve
our town. Some of these few ideas
Mr.. A. A. Moss, of Camden, who has
been staying for three weeks in our
town, reminded us of and to him will
be the credit if they prove all incentive
to more public enterprise.
