us, in every civilized commu-
nifty.
1t is not at all strange, then,
that people should want the
best and most perfect articles
of dress that their money can
buy-as perfect as was the
weather last Sunday. That
was a day worth talking about.
1t was a real June day trans
planted into April. The skies
laughed, the sun shone, the
breeze brought promise of
summer flowers and whispered
hints of pleasant vacations by
sea or among the mountains.
The temper of the air was SUI
perb, and all Nature was in her
blandest mood. There was the
softness of summer without its
enervation, its brightness with
out its willing heat. 1t called
the springing grass up higher
in all the green places in city
and country, and coaxed out
tiny, delicate, pale green buds
on thousands of young trees
everywhere. 1t even tempted
from the realms of the invisi-
bic and enchanting that Devil
deringly charming creature the
summer girl. She was every
where, in the streets, on the
grassy lawns, at the churches.
None of her witchery was mis-
sing. The dainty garb that
clothed her winsome person
atty was as delightful ever.
Humanity feasted its eyes on
her and was glad of the sight.
Joyous, happy spring. To all
classes Of people this should be
a glorious season. The earth
so long wrapped in snow and
ice, now puts a mantle of green
and all Nature rejoices with
one accord. There are, how
ever, in Our midst some who
are not happy, and to them es-
pccially we wish to address
ourselves this week.
To the Business and Profess
sional men of Henderson, who
are in the habit of paying from
Forty to Seventy Dollars for
a Suit of Clothes, we come
now to speak. 1t is a fact that
BARNES, STAINBACK
& co. carry a large assort-
ment of well made, perfect-fit-
ting Suits especially gotten up
for fine trade. We can fit you
in one of these suits better
than the average tailor can do.
They are good deal better
made.
They differ from ordinary
"Ready-Ma Clothes. They
are the world famed produc-
tons of The Stein Bloch Com
pany, and other celebrated
Wholesale Tailors. The price
is $40 and SIS, and we guar
antee a better fit and better
suit than you can get made to
order for $50. 1t will not cost
you anything to test the truth
of this statement. Come and
try a suit on. Use your own
Judgment in the matter. This

CAMDEN. July 80, 1o91.-Five ministers
of this city were somewhat surprised yes
terday morning to read In the Philadel-
phia Press that they had each performed
the marriage ceremony of Henry ID. Will
son and his wife. Minnie, under differeut
names, within W. days.
The story in substance says that Wilson
was, at eight O'Clock on Thursday, the
23d inst, married to Miss Minnie L. Far
rell. whose address is given as 300S Al
7ieudo street, Philadelphia, by Rev. q.
w. Fenlaw of 315 Benson street. On the
same and following evening he and the
young lady were married by the follow
Ing ministers. and under the following
names.-Bv Rev. W. II. Burrell of 43
Cooper street, Arthur II. Williams and
Laura s.. Joice; by Rev. w. H. Van Horn.
Edward w. Martin and Mary Lewis; by
Rev. j.. +. Morrell, S26 Market street,
Charles f.. Mullen and Sarah w. Price,
and by Rev. j. Leander Sooy. Samuel F.
Matthew's and Margaret Reed,
The object IL having the matrimonial
knot tied so many times was to secure
the ground work for a 'speciar' on the
marriage mart in the Gretna Green of
New Jersey.

ON the Rlght Track.

The farmers and fruit growers of
VineIand and adjacent parts of South
Jersey are on the right track. Every
summer they find that their expected
remittances from the commission mer-
chants of New York do not materialize
in accordance with their expectations.
Their shipments are always large dur
ing the berry and fruit season, but
their expectations are not always
realized. Instead of a big check they
receive a small one, accompanied
by a large amount of explana-
ton as to small sales, reduced
profits and the usual draw
back OF damage and decay. Usually
the farmer pockets his loss, if not
complacently, at least with no serious
protest than a prolonged growl, which
no one but himself hears. Now, how
ever, the South Jersey fruit growers
have resolved to unite for protection
and threaten to form a cooperative
association, the object of which shall
be tt market their own fruit and act
as their own commission merchants.
In this resolve The JERSEY CRY
NEWS cordially sustains them. 1t is
q recognized fact that fruit consumers
in the city pay all it is worth-fre-
quently much more than it is worth
for what they get, and that the pro-
ducer sees but little of the money.
That decay and careless hand
ling impair the value of the
fruit while in transit is not TO be
questioned; neither is the probability
that the lions share of the product is
consumed by the middlemen. What
is needed is some plan that will bring
consumer and producer into closer
connection. Each will be benefited
by such an arrangement. The con-
sumner will get his wares cheaper and
the producer will be better rewarded.
The only sufferer will be the middle
man, and as he will suffer for the pub
lie good, it will be his duty to suffer
in silence or be content with smaller
profits-

How To send Regrets"

Although the custom of sending a
visiting card with the word regret"
penciled upon it it has often been
characterized as ill bred and dis
courteous, it is still INDUCED to a
considerable extent, says Good House
keeping, which adds that there are
occasions when the ordinary visiting
card always free from penciling) may
be sent with perfect propriety-not at
breakfast. however. Where a formal
regret is desired the following is the
approved formula
Mrs. Jones regrets that a previous
engagement will deprive her of the
pleasure of accepting the kind in
vitation of Mrs. Smith for Thursday
morning, June the tenth"
The phrase, "a previous engage
ment," in social parlance sufices, ac-
cording to the authority quoted, to
include any circumstances which pre-
vents the acceptance of an invitation,
whether it be illness in the household
or the arrival of guests, and it is not
considered necessary to p~articularize
in ones note OF regret. A social visit
paid at an early hour in the day will
afford the opportunity for Offering
such explanation as may be deemed
needful.

As a rule the number of the house
should be at the top and the date at

tlemen. Plain white paper, unruled,
is the only correct form. On the
street each gentleman should offer
the lady his right arm, and never take
hers. He should precede her down
the aisle of a theatre, and should en-
deavor to quickly remove his coat in
the lobby beforehand. This prevents
unnecessary confusion in the seat. Ii

else that she is simply tolerated.

THE REAL ~cuLPRlTS.

From the Ne1rdTk Journal.
Bishop Merrill, of Kansas, in the course
of a sermon at Ocean Grove last Sunday.
turned to the reporters table and said:-
1.-THE man who sits on this platform and
reports a sermon for a religious or secu-
lar paper is as big a sinner as the man
who piows mis- field on Sunday. One man
plies his vocation as well as the other"
The Kansas Bishop wastes his deRun-
ciution on the reporter. IL he were a
logical or a reflective man he would pass
the reporter by and 70 for his host of
brethren c%lergymen. who invite the re-
porting OF their ermon in the Monday
papers. and also for the religious people
who read the sermons In these papers.
The common. every day sinner doesn't
read sermons, so the demand for this
kind of Monday literature comes entirely
from religious people. If there was no
such demand the Monday newspaper
wouldn't print the sermons. and the re-
porters wouldn't be sent in the line of
their duty TO report them.

A NEAT SCHEME OF ExTORTION.
Fsom ! he Ne.eark Eueninq News.

From he Netedrk Ereaia0 Neps.
1t appears to be understood that the
scheme for coruerinG this seasons wheat
and holding it for a heavy rise has not
been formally adopted by the Farmers
Alliance. or the Peoples party, though
the o~riginators and advocates of the prof.
ect are members Of those organizations.
1t is prepOsterOus for the leaders of the
Peoples party" to advocate any act ion
designed to raise the price of bread from
twenty-five to fifty per cent There could
be no public support for any such party
"a that and the endorsement of the scheme
by the Farmers Alliance as an organiza-
tion would be simply suicidal, for it is
well known that even IL the 'sgrain
gamblers" as the farmers delight to call
the spectators, do make profits as be-
tween the producer and the consumer,
they DO not put such an enormous tax on
the latter The people certainly would
not support a party whose purpose was
mere extortion from the public.
