VINELAND, Nov. a2-The Rev.
Thomas Jones, Of Philadelphia, pro-
phet, doctor, and minister, has been
very successful in his line Of business
among the colored people of this place,
in disposing OF q lot of worthless rnedi-
cine and preparation fer removing
corns.
The reverend gentleman is of Egyp-
tion color, with thick set lips, a coun-
terpart of the Southern colored man,
and in connection with this business
has piled another kind Of trade, of
stealing things that might be lying
around loose on the tables.
Mrs. Brown missed her watch, and
others missed things after the mans
departure. The colored people of this
vicinity are eager to come across this
bogus ninister and treat him to good
thrashjng.

BUILDING BOOM.
RrtdgetOn Building Up in Every
Direction,

Go where you will, north, east.
south or west, AID you will find rev
buildings springing up in large num-
bers. 1t isNwonderful tbs amount of
building going on. Not only in this
city, but all around On the outskirts.
and for several miles out OF Bridgeton.
No other South Jersey city can boast
of such phenomenal growth of valu-
able property. Everywhere land is
being improved; aud improved greatly
too. Old style houses are fast being
demolished and handsome new struct-
ures taking their places. 1t seems
that the large majority of the working
people hereabouts, through the assist
ance of the Building Associations, are
enabled to erect for themselves homes.
which are models Of excellence and
beauty. Rented houses are OF course
in demand. but even these uust he
perfectly modern, and landlords, who
few years since found no trouble ia
renting ordinary tenement places, tind
that the masses want houses that will
correspond with the times in every
particular And such houses are kept
with all the neetness of man who
takes just interest in improving all
about him.
just on the outekirts one can find
scores Of new houses, which are a Gre
dit to this city, and the state. Little
villages are springing up just beyond
the limits and thepeople are as particu-
lar in having their homes compare with
those of the city. Carpenters, masons,
and painters havs had most success
full year, and the prospect for the con
tinuance of it, is very good indeed.

Cranberry Cusfure.

New Jersey cranberries are reported
unusually fine this year, and are quot
ed at 81 per bushel. Jersey berries
can be kept in good condition from
now until next June, with little or no
shrinkage, and no loss to the owner.
They can be grown in the poorest land
and yield q large profit. A first-class
bog can be made for from 5000 to $500
per acre, according to the quality OF
the bog. The culture of cranberries is
rapidly becoming the chief industry
of some of the lower counties of the
State, particularly Atlantic and Ocean,
as the people are beginning to realize
that hitherto worthless lands can be
utilized and large sums of money made
by the investment.

Beass Make Trouble.

People who cross the Central rail
road out on North Laurel street, find a
good deal of complaint with the warn
ing bells recently placed in position by
the company. The system Of bells is
such that Car going over certain
arrangement on the track, some dis
tance from the crossing, starts the
alarm, and not until another arrange
ment some distance away is connected
by the cars running over 1t, do the
bells stop. Up around the Cumber-
land glass works. there is more or less
drilling and the new bells are kept 60
ing pretty much all the time. The
alarm is at times sounded, but the
shut off Is not connected, and while the
freight car is left standing on the alarm
switch, SO long will the bell ring, and
people will be afraid to cross the track.
There is much complaint, but the peo-
pie wanted the bells and now they will
probably keep them avs S8s@.r
