What ought not to be used as a bever-
age, ought not to be sold as such. What
the good of the community requires to
expel, no man has a moral right to supply.
Now if it be true that a vast proportion of
the crimes which government is instituted
to prevent aud repress have their origin in
the use Of ardent spirits; four poor houses,
warehouses, iails and penitentiaries are
tenanted in a great degree by those whose
first and chief impulse to crime came from
the distillery and the dram.shop; if MUIR
del and theft, the most fearful outrages
on property and life, are most frequently
the issues and consummation of intemper-
auce, is not government bound to restrain
by legislation the vending of the stimulus
to these terrible social wrongs9-W William
ElEery Claiming.

The venerable mother of Gen. Lew Wal

the State of Arkansas in favor of women's
suffrage. Wherever she goes she is greet
ed by large and enthusiastic audiences.
At the little town of Cotton Plant, it was
agreed that her arguments should be an

Of the Rev. Sam Jones, of Georgia. Mrs.
Wallace made her speech with the divine

amazement of everybody present, when
she had concluded it the Rev. Mr.. Jones
rose and frankly declared that he had
never known the facts before, and should
neuceforth favor the granting Of the ballot

Summerill is about as well posted IN the
subject of the fishing industry of South
Jersey as any man can be who is not per-
sonally engaged in the fishing business,
and the sentiment OF the fishermen of
Salem county seems to be decidedly in his
favor. His home is at P~ennsgroye, the
headquarters of the shad fishermen, and
he knows all about their want and the
needs of their business. No better sp-
pointment could be made.

At THE
New Store under The Opera House

Atour new store under the Opera
House we have this week opened
$4,000 worth of suits and ~overcoats.
You can get yourboys a good warm
overcoat for $3.50. Mems Raritan
Chinchilla Beaver ~overcoats, warm
but not burthensome, $500. Black
Corkscrew %oyercoats, Atwood face.
500. Skating jackets made of
heavy beaver cloth, cut double
breasted and lined with flannel, just
the thing for knock-about, s3.75.
Knit jackets from z5c to $3.50.
Everything needed for men and
boys, and at prices lower than else
where in this county.
Never in u history as merchants
have we been SO we'll prepared to
take care of ourselves and our GUS
toners on BOOTS and SHOES as
we are at this present time. We
placed our orders early in the sea
son when the work-people were not
hurried, and the consequence is that
we have a BETTER, LARGER and
CHEAPER stock than ever before.
We own now and have in posses.
sion over Fifty Cases of Mems and
Boys Boots-all kinds, all prices.
The celebrated Z. S. Reeve boots
as low as s2.25. You all know this
make of goods. Mr.. Reeve is a
conscientious man and don't put his
name on anything that is not worthy
oft. We are the only agents for
the Lester Boot. We sold these
largely last year and have not had
a single complaint, though we have
taken great pains to make inquiry
Of those we sold them to. The uni
versal verdict is that there are none
better. We can give you good bar
gains in boots and you do yourself
injustice ifyou fail to take a look at
our stock. We don't care so much
for profits as we do to sell the
goods.
In Ladies and Children's wear
and goods adapted to their wants
we are quite as fortunate as on
Mems and Boys goods. While we
have all desirable makes and grades
in Children's and Women's wear.
we would especially call attention to
our French Kid, hand-welt, extern
sion sole, common-sense heel, but
ton boots for Ladies at s.. It's the
n%eatest made, neatest fitting, easiest
wearing and most dressy Shoe for
the money that We have ever been
able to offer.
All kinds Mems and Boys Hats.
Five cases lately received. Every
thing in Mems wear and Boys wear.
Also the largest stock of Clothing
in this county at our we'll known,
popular low prices.
New purchase children's two
piece suits, S2.25 upwards.
Is doz. Mems Medicated Scarlet
Shirts, with Drawers to match. The
best by far that we have ever offered
for the money.
Fifteen doz. new purchase Mems
Knit Jackets, from the lowest at 90
cents to the finest seamless all wool
at $3.50. No stock in these parts
to equal it IN variety.

A special agent of a leading insurance
company was in town last week and, like
every other insurance man that visits our
town, expressed surprise that there were
no facilities for extinguishing fires. He
expressed the opinion that, while insur-
ance rates in this locality were already
quite low, an efficient fire service would
have the effect of reducing the cost of in
surance in stock companies at least 25
cents on each 500 of insurance
