 J. W. MARSHALL,
 The Tom Allen School, as a sub scrlption school, under the manage ment of Miss Minnie Conncvey and Mrs. Ella McRac. opened Monday, with about fifty pupils. By next Monday the number will probably reach 100. Glad to know these most estimable ladies and splendid teachers are being well patronized.
 Prior to the election there was con siderable friction and bad feeling on both sides. against individuals as well as political parties. Now, that the election is over, let all sober down and be friendly. Malice and anger adds nothing 10 the happiness of any one, but to the contrary, rem ders its votarics miserable Be friendly and charitable.

 Ii has been our custom occasion ally. for the past six years, since w' Ihaye been here, to give our sworI circulation. and we propose to keel it up. This much is due advertisers since so many papers make empty assertions about having such large circulation. often not over half a Iarre as stated. There IS nothing wrong in making affidavit as to cir culation. The PlcANrNE is the bes advertising medium in south Arkan sas, and all know it.

Adulterated FOOD In J Jersey.

The ANIMAL report of State Dairy Com
missioner William X. Newton, of Pater-
son, which will soon be published, gives
some interesting facts concerning the
things We eat and drink. The commits
sioner has worked in 104 cities, towns and
villages of New Jersey. He finds that
dealers in food products are frequntly ig-
norant Of the composition of the articles
they sell, and he has refrained from pros
ecutions until such dealers have been prop
erly notified and ailowe ed sufficient time to
destroy, or ship back to the wholesaler or
manufacturer the adulterated food in their
possession. Last year 968 such notices
were served upon dealers in food products.
During the year 9, 501 articles of food
were analyzed. OF these ], ,045 were pure,
or equal to the legal standard, and 1902
were adulterated within the meaning of the
act That is, 56.04 per cent was pure and
53. 96 per cent adulterated. The sale OF
oleomargarine has increased, special taxes
having been paid by fifty-four dealers in
1889 against twenty eight in 1888.
The milk supply Of the state was subject
ed to more thorough examination than
ever before. Over s, 200 samples were test
ed. OF 63S samples chemically examined
541 were above and 81 below the standard.
During the year 437 samples of lard were
bought and analyzed. OF these samples,
274 were composed of hog fat and the re-
manning 1863 were adulterated with beef fat,
cotton seed oil and beef stearine. No adul-
terations of harmful ingredients were found
in American canned goods, but imported
canned goods are badly Sophisticated. :"
Fifty samples of ground coffee were exam
ined, of which ten were pure and forty
adulterated with roasted and ground peas
beans, rye, wheat, bread and chiccory.

a yTiyetl.Vn Affair.

We clip the following from the Phila-
delphia Ledger of Wednesday. Some of
the parties concerned are natives of this
county, the grandmother of Miss Dancer
being Mrs. George Lawrence, of Yorke-
town:
Jessie Dancer, who said she was Is years
old, and had been staying at the Bingham
House, the Arch Street House and the City
Hotel, but was now living on North Sec
ond street with her mother, Ann M.
Dancer, was accused before Magistrate
Smith, at City Hall yesterday, of abscond-
ing from home. When the Magistrate
asked the defendant whether she knew a
man named L. II. Decker, she said she
did, and was engaged to be married to
him. She did not know he had wife
living, although she had been told he had,
but she would not believe it until she had
further proof.
Mrs. Dancer testified that her daughter
had taken her trunk away from home a
week ago, and she had learned that Jessie
went with Decker to a hotel, where they
registered as man aud wife.
Mrs. Angelina NJ. Decker testified that
she was married in Keokuk, Iowa, to L.
H. Decker, the present catcher of the
Philadelphia Base Ball Club, and had a
child years old. She had discovered an
intimacy between him and Jessie Dancer.
who was employed at Market street
sporting goods store. She declared that
Decker had attempted to repudiate their
marriage and the paternity of his child.
AT further hearing III the afternoon
Magistrate Smith said he was barred from
sending the girl to the House of Refuge by
her age The defendant said her mother
knew Decker was married, but encouraged

the weather Crop Report.

The weather crop bulletin for last week
is summarized as follows: "The weather
conditions of the past week have been char
acterized by a total absence of rain, an ex-
cess of sunshine with the temperature
slightly above the average. These favor
able conditions have permitted the farmer
to prosecute with vigor the spring plow ing
and planting which the very wet weather
of the preceding weeks so much retarded.
Oats are now nearly all sown, and great
progress has been made during tho week
in the planting of early potatoes and other
vegetables. Discouraging reports con-
tinue relative to the early fruits" In the
vicinity of Moorestown, Burlington County.

not believe there would be any more
drinking with two public places than with
one, or under high than nnder a low
license fee. We do not wish to be under
stood as advocating public places for the
sale of strong drink. We are opposed to
them as being detrimental to our best in
terests But if we must have them,
then we are in favor of their furnishing
a revenue that will be some compensation
for their many disadvantages. Ii the
business in the place will not warrant
high-license fee it is pretty conclusive evil
dence there is no need for the business. In
Salem they have four licensed places, two
for retail at license fee of 5000 each, one
for wholesale at 800, one bottling place at
5000, making a revenue of 81 500 for the
city from license granted by Council.
Woodstown has population equal to one
third of that of Salem and receives 500
from license granted by court of law
Why grant monopoly of the business for
the paltry sum of 500 when it is pretty
evident it is worth $500 or 81, 900 a year?
We are in favor Of re-incorporation and of
placing this matter in the peoples hands
and making it pay the revenue it deserves
to pay or do without it.
