CLOTHING! CLOTHING
II

We read of large stocks of cloth
ing and low prices. It's an easy
matter to write a flaming advertise
ment, but sometimes difficult to sus-
tain assertions by facts. We don't
aim to say anything in our
advertisements about our goods
that is not strictly true. 1t is well
known that our stock is at all times
the largest by far of any in this
county. There is none larger in
any town in South Jersey. 1t is as
well known that we are in position
to buy cheaper than others and at
all times prepared and willing to
work on close profits. This season
we are better fixed than ever be-
tore. we had most OF our stock
made expressly to our own order.
Now therefore take notice, that if
you want to save from one to five
dollars on the purchase of a single
suit or o%vercoat, come to headquar-
tiers where you get full returns for
every penny you invest.
Buyers from S~wedesboro, Salem
or Alloway, whose purchases
amount to TEN DOLLARS or
over, will have their fare paid both
ways.

A remarkable village is being started in
the woods Of Burlington county. 1t is

The Prohibition party was the only one
in Philadelphia to hold its own. The Re-

~tionists increased their vote from 1116 to

YEAR BEFORE LAST

We bought and sold a few cases
of the LESTER BOOTS, made at
Binghampton, New York. They gave
such general satisfaction that we
quadrupled our order last year, and
this season we have already made
arrangements with the maker for a
much larger supply. All who have
had them want them again, and not
only them, but they send US new
customers, and SO it goes. IT IS
THE BEST BOOT MADE. We
have yet to hear the first complaint,
but on the contrary all speak well of
them. They COST NO MORE
THAN OTHER MAKES, and you
may as well have the best. Don't

For som inscrutable reason, a reason
which mortal ken up TO this writing is I'M
able to divine, a mysterious providence
has saw proper to afilict this nation with
the periodical blight of Democraey-a
plague worse than the Egyptian lice and
the Kansas locust combined. In every
evil visitation there seems some compen-
sating good, but the Democracy of the
Albeit Campbell-Hill breed is worse than
a carbuncle ON the back of the neck. The
carbuncle may be utilized by the eeonom-
zeal man as a button for his shirt collar,
but we defy anybody, or his uncle, to find
a use for the latter day Democrat. He is
only kept on hand as a sort of curse like
the Canada thistle and glass house plant,
as if intended to keep us good folks in an
humble and subdued frame of mind.
However, Wen take the Canada thistle

Democracy.
Now is the time for the Prohibition
party of South Jersey to organize. There
has been no systematic organization
of the party, sonth of Camden at least, to
speak of the past year. In this section of
of the State it had no newspaper organ, no
political leader, no money, no nothing, and
as a party is all at odds and ends.
Inthe stronghold of Prohibition, in Cum
berland county, Prohibitionists seemed to
take it for granted that the party would
run itself, and if we except a few spasmod-
ic attempts made at campaign work about
election time, it did it, as nothing was
done worth the calling.
What money would be expended by the
Democratic and Republican party in a
single week, perhaps possibly a single day,
was made to spread over the whole district
for the whole season By the Prohibitionists.
Their nominee for State Senator, Rev.
Mr.. Gilbert, while a man of splendid abil-
ity and a most excellent speaker, was un-
able to do but little service because of sick
ness and other reasons, and the nominee for
Assembly, Mr.. Newcomb, and FOR Clerk Of
County, Mr.. Lopez, made no canvass so far
as we have learned, and probably failed to
solicit a single vote, and the same may be
true of the other county nominees. All OF
these candidates We're excellent men, but
utterly unacguainted with politics and the
way Of politicians.
In addition to this there was no meetings
called scarcely, and on the whole the plan
seemed TO be to work on a very still hunt,
if work at all. Just at about election time,
or say a month or so previous, a small sub.
scription club of some Prohibition paper;
was raised for gratuitous distribution and
some circulars thrown out.
The plan VI have most earnestly pro-
tested against, time and time again, OF
sending out papers prohibition news
papers, just on the eve of election, wa'
adopted, demonstrating, as in the past
its utter worthlessness. The average
voter is in no frame of mind to hear OPP.
position counsel just as he is ready tt
vote and will none of it. Now, however
is the time to begin missionary work il
the newspaper line, and seed sown from
now until next election may bring fortl
abundant fruit. Raise what money pos
sible and TO- prohibition literature kne'
deep if possible, and in the elections of '9
and on practical results may be expected.
Harry w. Wilbur, Esq, formerly o
Nineland, and for a short time of Bridge
ton, and now editing the atlantic Mtrr0,
at Iiammonton, n. j., was the nomine'
for Senator on the Prohibition ticket from
Atlantic county this fall. OF course liar
ry didn't get there-he has too muel
brains for that. Somehow your brain,
men seldom do. Webster could never bt
President, ditto Clay, Greedy, st. John ant
James G.. Blaine, men with a hat full o
brains each, but who will never, we fear
never reach that exalted position. Clinton
b. Fisk could hardly become Governor on
any ticket at any time. ''IIe knows toe
much,'' has checked the political and
social advance of many a man With tho
seat Of sensation and reflection in the head
instead Of the stomach.
