pt riments and note the results, says that
for the last three years he has planted a
bean or two in each potato hill and has
never seen a Colorado beetle on the potato
tops where beans were growing in the same

bugs the remedy is simple and will pay for
the trouble in the crop OF beans.

Samuel Hankinson, a West Jersey Rail
road conductor, was given on Mo day
gold watch by the daily riders on his
train as birthday present and mark of
appreciation of the courtesy and Kindness
which he exhibits toward the roads pa
irons. The watch was presented while
the train was gliding between Gassboro
and Woodbury., by Col. WIN. p. Edgartou,
who made elective speech before a
party Of Conductor Hsnkinson's admirers.
Mr.. Hankinsou, who formerly ran on t g
Salem Branch, is one of the most popular
conductors OH The road.
Mr.. Jos. G. Stretch in another column
gives notice that he is still in business and
expects to be for time to come, notwith-
standing all effort that has been made to
give contrary impression. He is prepar
ed to do all kinds of carpenter work having
careful hands in his employ, and particu-
larly fitted to fill all orders for such mill
work as is needed for porticos and fancy
work on dwellings. AT present he is filling
many orders for hot bed sash. From a
personal knowledge Of Mr.. Stretch. our
own opinion is that he has few equals il
any in desiging and executing fine mill
work. He is not only an excellent design
er but a careful, panstaking mechanic.
He has concluded to give his planning mill
more attention than formerly and to that
end has discharged all hls hands whom he
thought unified for their positions. Hence
the rumor. Mr.. Stretch is an honest, Ca
pable and Industrious mechanic and de-
serves all the encouragement that he is re-
ceiving. His planning mill is a benefit to
tho town and vicinity and there is none in
the country and few in the larger cities that
can execute finer job of work Than our
Woodstown Sash aud Planning Mills.
