II aneoes.. Hr,axe happenings.

Tuesday was favorable day with the
fishermen, as some of them caught from
forty to a hundred shad.
Several families in this section have
changed homes, and for the last two weeks
a moving could be seen nearly every day.
The trustees of our public school met on
Friday evening at Mrs. Kate H. Griscom's,
the newly elected trustee, and elected
Stretch Harris district clerk for another
term.
Rey. j. w. Nicholson came here on
Thursday last from conference, and on
Friday he went to his new charge, the
Cumberland Circuit. The best wishes of
his friends here go with him to his new
field oflabor.
There is an aged gentleman living in
this village who has never used tobacco IN
any form or any kind of intoxicating
drinks, and his three married sons and
grandsons have all followed his example
Such record as this is hard to beat
Rev. Lewis n. Clark, our new minister,
came here on Saturday, and on Sunday
morning preached from Romans SIG. In
the evening he preached another excellent
sermon. He expresses himself as we'll
pleased with the place, and he has made
favorable impression with our people.
Henry Pancoast's injured eye was re-
moved at the Pennsylvania Hospital,
Philadelphia. on Wednesday morning of
last week. For some days after the opera
tion the lad was very low, but is now i'm
proving. Dynamite is dangerous play
thing, aud it has cost this lad an eye be-
sides the injury to his hand.
A new street lamp was placed in front
of the NJ f. Church on Saturday after
noon, and some of our citizens had such
great curiosity to note the effect after 1t
was lighted that night that they inspected
il in the rain. II is pronounced success,
as it throws the light far up and down the
street, and will be a great convenience to
all who attend church at night. We nn-
derstand Robert B. Griscom win place
such lamp in front of his store, and it
would be delight to pedestrians il several
were placed along our streets.

A minstrel troupe gave free entertain
ment in Taylors Hall last Friday evening.
On Saturday evening twenty cents admis-
sion was charged. There was some good
singing and other feats that made it inter-
esting. The audience both evenings was
good considering the size of the village.
Our farmers are making good progress

manure in the field ready for use. There
has been seventy-five carloads of manure

We understand that Michael Whalen,
who was sentenced by Judge Reed at
Salem January 1S, 1899, to serve three
years in the penitentiary, was pardoned on
Wednesday by the Court of Pardons now in
session, which body, it would seem, show
disposition to depopulate the penitentiary.
We never yet thought Whalen so much to
blame as his prompters, and have always
insisted that those who were with him, as
was shown by their own evidence, on the
night of the fire, furnishing him with
drink and doubtless urging him on to the
hellish work, should have borne their full
share of punishment, but unfortunately
for Wbalen while he was. languishing in
prison they were marching around our
streets. 1t is to be hoped that he has
profited by his enforced retirement.

.sVucIe sam" of Money

A resident of Glassboro who had note
maturing in the bank ON Tuesday of this
week. and being short twenty dollars,
wrote over to brother in Woodstown
asking for loan. A post-oflice order for
that amount was promptly sent last satur-
day morning, and when presented to the
Glassboro post-oflice on Monday the holder
was told that there was not sufficient money
in the treasury to pay it, but they would
send to Camden and try to get it by We'd
nesday. This was not very corsoling to
the holder, as the bank officials would no
doubt protest his note on Tuesday If it
was not paid. So it would appear that
even Uncle Sam, who is supposed to be
we'll fixed financially, sometimes gets short
of funds, but he onght not to take a man S
money in one post-oflice without being
ready to pay it out when an order is pre-
sented for it at another office.

snnrious nimes In Circulation.

Counterfeit dimes ale IN CIRCULATION.
Only few have yet appeared, but they
are clever limitations and likely therefore
to trap the unwary. The false dime is OF
German silver, well struck and heavily
silver coated. 1t has a good ring. The
wash of precious metal has to be treated
with file before it can be removed. Acid
has but little effect upon it. To ascertain
it's true. or rather its false character, ex-
anime closely the milled edge, comparing
it with the edge of genuine coin. 1t will
then be seen that the milling on the coun-
terfeit is not as deep as that on the real
dime
