A SENSIBLE PLEA.
MauricetOWn N. j.. Wants Man
nfactOrieS.

To the Pioneer: Shall we as citizens
of South Jersey allow every place in
the county as it were, to offer induce
ments for the manufactures of various
kind. Why not make an earnest effort
for a purpose that the results may be
for the general interest of us all.
There is a time in the life of man
when he has fallen to moral, or physi'
cal or financial point. where he must
apply to the best means in his power
and reach and the cooperation of his
friends This is our condition in this
place and its surroundings, so let us
wake up soon. Put forth some earnest
ness and unyielding effort, we have
some advantages which are very favor
BILE to business enterprises, as follows:
first, transportation and expectation,
having two railroads, excellent river
with nine feet of water. Also it is
healthy location, plenty of unemployed
labor. 1t makes no difference how
much the general government may do
for us. 1t will not do for us, State or
county or township, what we can do for
ourselves.
Why not ask the opening of the
travel over the new bridge at this place;
why not send out in different States
one OF two men of good business, in
tellectual and financial influence, and
pay their expenses. Why do not the
railroad company make some sacrifice
for this purpose. Will it not be to their
interest to help to develop this county
in all of it's enterprises that now lie
dormant. We have said we ought to
do SO and so, or we must do so and SO.
Let us say we will do so and so, the
facts are before us, that there is great
deal of unemployed labor that must
be looked after. A man or woman that
will work and cannot get it to do is to
be pittied. So let men of means and
influence put their best foot foremost
and remove this disa ability. Whenever
you benefit the laborer you benefit
your condition. How can we as citi-
zens see men and boys want employ
ment and we make no effort to help
them. To help to build each other
up and improve the general business
is my desire as a CITIZEN.

A SUDDEN DEATH.
DIR. JOHN IL. BOWEN DIES ON
TUESDAY.
An Illness of but u Few Days
Results in the Death of a
Physician.

DR.. John B, Bowen, the well-known
physician, of this city, died Tuesday
afternoon shortly before two o'clock.
This was the statement made Tues
day afternoon upon the street and none
could believe it until the horrible truth
was positively known. Few knew Of
the illness of the gentleman, which only
kept him in doors since Friday last,
and those in this knowledge had no
idea of any serious results. 1t was only
hst week that small pimple showed
Itself upon the bridge of the nose of
the physician, and last Friday it de-
Yeloped into a carbuncle, and later,
erysipelas set in. Physicians were
called in, and he was treated, and
while it was acknowledged that car.
hunc)es in this particular spot were
dangerous, little apprehension of any
serious results was had by even the
Immediate family. Tuesday morn
ing it was thought the Doctor was
much better, but shortly after dinner,
without much warning, death came
and claimed the gentleman so widely
beloved, and everywhere respected.
DR.. John Bowen was born in the
year 1910, and was the oldest of two
sons of DR.. VIM. S. and Martha Bower.
In early years he attended school at
the West Jersey Academy, and when
the time came for the choosing of a
walk in life, he followed in the foot
steps of his father, and went to the
Unsversity of Pennsylvania, where he
studied medicine. and graduated with
high honors in 1861. returning to
Brldgoton and commenced to practice
with his father A short time after
that he received an appointment as an
associate to Rev S. D. Gross, of the U.
s. A. Hospital in Philadelphia, and
after doing excellent service there, he
stpronoted to the position of sur
geon in the 34th Regiment Of N. j.
Volunteers. Afterward he was placed
under Gen. Price, of the 10th Corps of
Their Army. of Tennessee. He remained
in this position until the close of the
war, when he returned to Bridge5on.
He was an excellent physician, and
had little trouble in building up and
always maintaining large practice,
which he kept until March last. when
he disposed of all his property and
practice, and went to St. Paul. Mimi,
where he intended to make his future
home. He found that the climate was
very Injurious to his health, and after
an absence of about six months, he re
turned to Bridgeton and made his
many friends happy with the an
nouncement that he had come home
to remain permanently.
He purchased the property of the
late Henry B. Luptop, corner of Com.
merce and Walnut streets, and had it
placed in good repair. Later. he again
decided to practice here, and made a
public announcement of the fact, and
at the time of his death preparations
to that end We're in progress.
DIR. John Bowen was one of the most
popular physicians ever practising in
this locality, and had host of friends
who sincerely mourn his untimely
death, and truly sympathize with his
afflicted family, & wife and two chill
dren-a son and daughter.
