This is the time of the year when the
farmer who does not take a newspaper be-
cause he cannot afford it, meets with two
or three travelling confidence men, and gets
cheated out of enough money in one day
to pay for a subscription to a weekly paper
from nearly every state in the union.
The John Thompson show that comes to

is one of the best that we have ever had

performance is bright clean and enjoyable.
They have been here before and people
were highly pleased with their entertain
ment. Make arrangements to see it.
If you have anything to sell and want to
advertise it give the MONITOR a trial.
Hundreds of prosperous families who live
within a few miles of Woodstown and do
most of their trading here take this paper,
and not only read it themselves but lend il
to their neighbors. There are possibly but
few papers printed in this county that get
more thoroughly read than the MONITOR.
The w. G. T. U. of this place has been
the means of securing a number of talent
ed lecturers since their organization, and
their habit has been to charge no admis-
sion fee, defraying the expenses with the
aid of a collection. At the present time
the state of their finances will not permit
them to have open doors, and we hope
there will be a generous response from our
citizens and that on the occasion of the
lecture of Mrs. Chant next Monday night
there will be an overlooking audience.
Charles p. Reeves is now actively engag-
ed in canvassing for new subscribers to the

thorough canvass of this and surrounding
counties. In the meantime, if any of our
readers i'll ~neigtboring towns or vicinity

books which we are offering for premiums
to new subscribers, and do not find it con-
venient to call at 1.-THE Office, if they will drop
a postal card to Mr.. Reeves, at the Woods
town p~ost-ofice, he will be pleased to call
and show them the books.
