REMARkARLE NEW JERSEY ArHLErE,


The Long Branch News says: s'James-
burg, Middlesex county, may boast of
John d. Roads as one of the most re-
markable other native-born sons. Though
now over eighty-three years of age, he
ranks among the strongest and most
active men in all New Jersey A cores
pendent of the News favors us with these
notable facts in Roads career. He is of
white aud Indian blood; over six feet high;
has had two wives, and twenty-three
children. He has all his lifetime been a
farm hand, and at that kind of work is
the equal of any young man. Roads is a
musician, an excellent Jig dancer, and
very agile acrobat. A few days ago he
was seen standing perfectly erect, In q
hotel at his native town, playing the vio-
lin, aud keeping step to his own inspirit-
ing music with all the vigor and accuracy
OF well-trained dancer. More remark
able yet, he threw several somersaults
with the ease and agility of Dan Rice in
his best days. He has often been seen to
leap from all-fours clean over farm
wagon. Some years ago he matched him
self to run against horse from Farming
dale to Manasquan, distance Of eight
miles, and won. On another occasion he
raced near Wheatsheaf, q little town Just
outside of Trenton, and won with such
case that the fairness of his course was
disputed. A row ensued, and to save him
self from the wrath OF hostile mob
Roads was compelled TO jump into the
Delaware river and swim across it. These
facts are vouched for by our informant, u
well-known old citizen of Long Branch. y

The two most noted Instructions to bal.
lot reform through the Australian or other
voting system are d. Bennett Hill, Cover
nor of New York, and Senator German, OF
Maryland. Both are Democrats, and the
burden Of their plant is that that such
system might disfranchise numerous SEN
silive but ignorant voters who would be
compelled to expose their ignorance IL u
secret ballot were compulsory. They
argue that these men would sooner stay
away from the polls than run the risk of
asking anyone to read to them the contents
of an election ticket. These apostles of
reform stand on very thin plank. The
men who are unable to vote because OF
inability TO read ticket are the ones who
sign their names usually with an K, and
when election day comes they boldly
march up to the polls and drop into the
box the ballot thnt has been given them
by the bosses. They vote as they are told.
These are the men the Democratic leaders
feel they must "protect'--not because
they can't read, but because they object
to anybody but a Democrat reading for
them.

A Service Pension.

A Service Pension.
At the regular muster of Major G. A.
Angel Post, No. 20, g. A. r., of Lam
bertville, held on Friday evening, Janua-
ry 10, 1890, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
ResOived, That we heartily endorse the
appeal of our comrade, General Alvin p.
Hovey, President Of the Service Pension
Association of the United States, demand
ing OF Congress the passage of service
pension law for all surviving Union SOL
diers OF the late war. Our country is an
era OF unparalleled prosperity the Ma
tional Treasury is OVERLOOKING we are at
peace with ourselves aud the whole world !;
our form of government is made secure in
the affections OF the people, and the Union
has been cemented by the blood of our
comrades. All this lie due TO the patriot
ism OF the Boys in Blue. After the lapse
of so many years since peace was de-
clared between the States the remaining
defenders Of the Union are broken in
health, many ruined in fortune, and more
are invalids from wounds, disease and ex-
posure. A service pension Is due them,
aud not as a pittance to paupers. Such a
pension was given to the survivors of the
Revolutionary War, the War of 1912 and
Of the Mexican War, and by all that is
right and just nothing less should be given
these who preserved our glorious Union !;
therefore,
Resoived, That we join our comrade,
General Alvin P. Hovey, 10 his appeal to
Congress, and demand OF our Congress
men legislation without delay for these
rights, which are due every surviving
veteran by all rules Of justice and Ma
tional honor.

ton with this Bank, l wish to say that
do it with most sincere regret and to ex-
press my hearty appreciation Of the friend
ly relations which have so long existed in
this connection, and also to express to the
stockholders my satisfaction at the pros
porous condition of the Bank and the able
manner in which its affairs are being con-
Quoted by its officers and Directors, and
regret that my inability for some time
to give personal attention to its affairs,
makes it, in my opinion, imperative that
/ should decline to allow my name TO be
presented for reelection.

Poultry and eggs may not promise much
in the way of fame and fortune to the
average reader, but they would be sorely
missed by his stomach on Thanksgiving
and Christmas were the supply unequal
to the demand. In his first report the
Secretary Of the Department of Agricul-
ture demands the recognition OF the i'm
portance of this interest and places the
farm value of poultry products in the Uni
ted States at 5000, 900, 600 for last year,
while no less than 1912, 100, 900 eggs were
imported at an average first cost of over
fifteen cents dozen, and for the past
four years We have averaged payment of
$2,216, 1926 per annum for eggs. Here
are facts and food for reflection and incu-
baton.

The Second PersonaIly-conducted Tour to
Florida via Pennsylvania Railroad.
The first of the series Of personally
conducted Winter pleasure tours to Flori-
da, under the auspices OF the Pennsylya-
MIA Railroad Company, left New York on
January 7th, and, Notwithstanding the I'M
favorable weather, proved marked sue
cess. The second Of the series is fixed
for Tuesday, January 21st The party
will leave New York by special train Of
Pullman sleeping and dining cars at 9:20
A. NJ, Philadelphia at 1862 A. M, and
arrive 10 Jacksonville the next evening.
The special train will be in charge of the
Tourist Agent and Chaperon, who will
render the members of the party every as
sstance toward making the journey pleas
ant and comfortable.
Considering the very high grade OF
these tours the rates are exceedingly low.
Excursion tickets, including railway trans
portation, Pullman accommodations, and
meals en- route in both directions, will be
sold from New York at $50, Philadelphia
at $48, and at proportionate rates from
other principal stations on the system.
The tickets must be used on the special
trains in both directions, and are limited
to two weeks in Florida.
No other arrangement offers such de-
sirable medium for pleasant Winter visit
to the tropics. The next party promises
to be very large one, and to insure en-
gagements they should be made well In
advance.
Itineraries may be procured of ticket
fagents, and berths and tickets may be sc.
cured in advance by addressing s. w. F.

New Jerseys pre-eminent CONNER
cial souudness and integrity s.rikingly APP
pear from an examination of the figures
in the annual circular of r. G. Dun & Co.
The total number of failures in the United
States last year was 10,SS2. This was
ono out of every n business firms in the
Eastern States, one out of 116 in the Mid
die States, one out of "a in the Southern
States, one out of 118 in the Western
States, one out of 81 in the Pacific States

in New Jersey was one out of every 251
business firms, which is less percentage
of failures than in any other State or Ter
ritory in the country. This is highly
creditable showing for this State, and
something for Jerseymen to be proud of.
1t illustrates the sound character of New
