Cox. the photographer who was located
on Salem street for the past few weeks,
left for Alloway on Monday, his business
here having been poor. This is not to be
wondered at as few knew he was ii town.
A few dollars spent in advertising would
doubtless have brought him in plenty of
work.

Hires Conover, who has charge of the
borough lamps, has a horse and wagon
and now rides around and carries his sup
plies in the wagon. His new arrangement
is a great improvement over the walking
way, as it is a long journey from one end
of the town to the other. Hires is a care
full, painstaking contractor, and is giving
the people cleaner lamps and more light
than they ever had before he assumed the
position.

Bridgeton's "Hotel Cumberland" under
its new manage is a good hotel-to keep
away from. A party of Millville people,
who had been attending a S. s. convention
in Bridgeton, and who occupied the hotel
parlor a few minutes while waiting for
friends to make the start home, were pre-
sented with a bill of 81. 90 for use of parloI
and gas. They paid it, and left the house,
but later found their friends prisoners in
the hotel, they also having been presented
with a like bill. This was also paid, aHd
the party, which numbered a minister and
prominent sunday-school workers, started
for home, glad to escape with theiI lives.
