Since the opening of the rabbit sea-
son, our sports, would-be and actual,
have been securing the country, in
search of the festive little "cotton-tail."

suit of each days hunt. One Of the
most surprising was last week, when a
trio of gunners started rabbit from
among the thicket about the new fer
tlllZer factory. DIX shots were sent
after it, but bunny ran the gauntlet
WE'LL and slipped into the building
where Superintendent j. L. Simon
killed it with a rifle.
Applications are being made daily
to the Electric Light Company, by
householders, who are anxious to have
their houses properly lighted. 1t is
certainly very encouraging to the COM
pany to have such vast number Of
applications, and without any solicita-
ton ON the company's part. So many
applications have come from the town
ship, that the Township Committee have
considered it their duty to the people,
to grant the company the privilege of
erecting poles along any of the public
roads in the township. The success of
this company is far beyond doubt.
