Keep Your PropersY insured.

Why don't people keep their p~erishable
property insured, particularly those who
are unable to sustain a loss in case of fire.
John Datz, whose barn and crib house,
with all their contents and nearly all his
worldly goods, were destroyed by fire on
Wednesday evening, had not a dollar of
insurance on any of bis property. He had
by hard work and close economy got suf-
fcieut stock together to work 4 farm and
was fairly prosperous, bat row is stripped
of nearly everything. lie lad been solicit
ed 10 have his stock, crops and farming
implements insured, bat said he could not
afford it. Poor a it was being without
this protection that he could not afford,
but be did not know it. No man has any
right to take such chances unless he is SO
situated that he can stand a loss by fire
without financial Inconvenience. Five
dollars a year would have been sufficient
to have kept all Datz's property insured,
and it was his duty to himself and those
dependent en- him to have one it. lie
knows it H0s, but should have known it
before. Again we say keep well insured;
it is the best Investment you can make if
you have anything to insure. But please
don't ask US to guide you to either good
company to insure in or its agent, as in
looking over cur advertising columns we
fail to find the card of ans company or
agent that prctfers anything in the insur-
anee line. There must be ONT responsi-
BILE ones around somewhere and that they
are no. represented IL Ger paper is their
own fault, net 0uTs.

\ red fox, weighing eleven pounds,
vas sbet en- the farm Of Josiah
Jordan near Auburn on Tuesday,
making one less of these destructive
animals TO prey on the farmers of this vi
cinity. a party Of hunters, headed by
John Craven, of Salem. with his pack Of
hounds, INDUCED in a fox chase that day
ia that vicinity, and Mr.. Jordan, who had
located the burrow Of the animal on lis
farm, stationed his hired man near by
with a gun, and Reynard was shot as he
was about to seek the protection of his
hole. We understand that Mr.. Craven
was very indignant over the shooting. As
high as twenty-five turkeys in one day
have been eaten by these pests lately, and
no one should question the farmers right
to protect his poultry by shooting them
whenever seen. Mr. Jordan brought the
animal into Woodstowu, wherei it attracted
much attention. The fur aud tail Tor
"bush") was very pretty.

Lower Than Anywhere Else,

Much lower than you can buy the
same goods for in Philadelphia. We
have evidence of this, by compari-
son, almost every day. This is a
sweeping claim and needs explana-
ton. We know Of only two parties
who retail clothing in that city, who
make any part of what they sell, and
these two do not make all. All
other retailers buy their goods from
the manufacturers, the same as we
do. We buy as cheap as they do
We pay the money-they can do
no more. Their expenses are heavy,
and they are obliged to get a living
profit to get out even. A trifiing
profit above cost is a living one for
US, as our expenses are next to
nothing compared with those of the
city merchants. A case in point:
Looking over the advertisement, in
one Of the Philadelphia papers, Of
one of the largest dealers, the good
qualities of an Atwood Kersey over
coat, at the exceeding low price OF
sI2, was claimed to be the greatest
bargain of the season. We sell now,
and have sold ever since October
Ist, the best all-wool Kersey over
coat that money can buy, for $1,000.
This is but one instance, which
holds good throughout our entire
stock and in every department.

The reported deal of the Wilmington Sc
Northern Railroad Company, whereby it
acquires possession of the property of the
Delaware City, Salem Sc Philadelphia
Steamboat Company. has been confirmed.
Last week, at a meeting of the stock
holders of the steamboat company, held at
Wilmington, the sale was consummated,
| and the transfers will be made as soon as
the necessary papers can be prepared and
| signed. The purchase includes the side
wheel steamers, Major Reybold and Della
ware, the valuable wharf property and
storehouses in Salem, a controlling interest
in the Pennsgrove pier, ard other
franchises.
Messrs. Borton. Shute, Denny and Wad-
dington, a committee of the Board of Free
| holders on Courses Landing Bridge, met
IN Go Ian, an Erida W npA q flor a opnSY1lta-

| the bridge, and in the meantime petitions
will be circulated in the townships Of
Upper Neck, Pilesgrove and Warrington,
as to whether the Board of Freeholders
| shall replace it in the spring with a new
span bridge without q draw. 1t sclaimed
that no vessels pass through the draw, and
| that a draw bridge is a constant source of
| expense to the county. The bridge was
built in 1880, ard has been frequently re-
paired since.
Starr Brothers, extensive packers of
tomatoes, of Salem, made an assignment
on Monday 10 Charles D. Coles and Ben
jamin L. Wood. They have a factory in
that city and one at Hancock's Bridge,
and they packed about l DOC, 900 cans last
| season. The failure is a most disastrous
one, the farmers, from whom they have
bought tomatoes, being the largest losers,
though many business men in Salem, it is
said, are involved. The liabilities already
handed in foot up to s106, coo and
they may 60 to $50, 900, while the
assets are put down at s44, 600, though
| their real estate will not likely sell so as to
realize much over $25, 900 or $4,000. The
immediate cause of the failure was the re-
fusal of the Philadelphia commission mer-
chants who handled Starr & Co.'s goods
to furnish them with money any longer.

In the Nice-Chaucellor's Court, at Cam
den, on Monday, argument was heard
on behalf of Ruius e. Smith, of Elmer,
a depositor. to recover $431.71 from the
defnnct Merchants Bank, of Atlantic City.
His action was TO garnishee the amount
which is in the hands Of the receiver,
John Hood. In his testimony Mr.. Smith
claimed to have given a draft upon his
account in the Elmer bank for s431.71 in
payment for a carload of grain. The
amount was paid to the cashier OF the
ba nix in two checks. As the transaction
was simply one of trust, the complainant
demanded the entire sum, which the re-
ceiver refused to countenance. Decision
was reserved.

FOR CHILDREN, BOYS & MEN.

Those who buy of US once, come
again, and keep on coming. We
are selling men now who are grown
to manhood and started in life for
themselves, who bought their first
four-year-old suit at our store, and
who have been buying here each
succeeding year ever since. There
must be some good reason for this.
If we did not serve our customers
satisfactorily, we could not hold
their confidence for a quarter of a
century. We have a good stock,
well selected and carefully bought.
Buying and selling goods is no new
venture with us-we have been
actively engaged in this business,
every day, for the past 40 years.
We ought, by this time. know some
thing about it, and we think we do.
Our prices will be found, in many
cases.

The performance will be repeated Dec. 4tb.
A large number of friends surprised Mrs.

the anniversary of her birth. A pleasant
social time was spent by the assembled

Wednesday afternoon, broke loose from

An unusual and beautiful object in the
northwestern sky on Tuesday morning was
a rainbow at sunrise that extended in a
Icomplete bow across the sky from north
to west. 1t was much brighter at the
northern end and a second rainbow could
be family distinguished at this end. The
sight did not last long but was much
admired for Its beauty and rather unusual
character.
Woodstown was certainly a lively place
last Saturday afternoon. All available
hitching room in or near the center oftown
was in use and most of our tradespeople
were as busy as they could be wa iting on
customers. There is no better trading
point anywhere, and more and more peo-
pie are realizing the truth of this every
year. There are plenty of goods here to
serve nearly every want, and they are
sold at prices that justify people in com
ing from a long distance to do their trad
ing here.
