The Monitor. [volume] (Woodstown, N.J.) 1884-1892, 1891-01-23


In our report last week of Borough
Council proceedings, we unin~tentionally
made a mis-. statement when we said that
the water-works ordinance was passed
without a dissenting vote. We are in-
formed that Councilman Wright voted
against adoption, Couhciimen Dickinson
and Lippincott not voting either way.
VIM. B. Foster, the marble man, placed
in position in the Baptist Cemetery at
Mullica Hill last week a handsome head
stone and enclosure around the lot of VIM
Horner. Mr.. Foster has also lately erected
a stone of neat design at the grave of John
Tyler, whose remains were brought from
St. Louis for interment in the Friends
Cemetery.
Borton Somers, who formerly lived on
the Lippipcott Coles farm, but last spring
moved downnear Palatine, is coming back,
having leased the Chalkley Cole farm up
toward H~arrisonville where Frank Horner
now lives. Borton says the people down
that way are nice enough, but he feels
lonely and wants to get back in bis old

A temperance conference under the care
ofSalem Quarterly Meeting Committee will
be held on Sixth-day evening, in Friends
8 ~OtN 'HSt
to commence at seven o'clock. Isabel G..
Shortledge of Concordville. Pa, and other
competent speakers, are expected to speak.
All interested inthe temperance question
are cordially invited to attend.
The Mckinley bill, i. is said, had been
used by all manner OF traders as an excuse
for advancing prices. and he has caught
it from all Sides" SO to speak. AS the
QFltf nnng MI on smear a nrIi ISt II &c or
pected that graduated sugar will be sod
afterward at . cents per pound retail. In
fact it can be bought now, for April de-
livery, at wholesale for AZ. This favor we
should place to McKinley's credit.
As will be seen by our advertising col.
umns and posted ~handbills, the mills and
dwellings of the entire village of Rich
mans Mills. with a few exceptional par
cells. will be sold at public sale OH Febru-
airy 21st. There is some valuable property
included in this offering, and we are told
the sale will be positive. Included in the
list is the residence occupied by DR.. U.
Gilman, on East avenue, in our borough.
The Philadelphia milk buyers have put
down their prices on the farmers to 81
cents. They have been paying 4 cents,
and list why they should reduce prices
in mid winter is just what the average
farmer is unable to figure out. At this
rate the farmer realizes about 8 cents clear
of freight. AS the retail price that dealers
get is . cents, 1t is safe to conclude that
there IS a far prof1t between whatthey pay
and what they sell for.
Mrs. H. A. Lippineott, who for several
years past has carried on the millinery and
potion business in the Humphreys building
ON Main street, has rented a store on
Kaighn's avenue, Camden, and will re-
move to that place next week. The bus
mess outlook there is encouraging, SO Mrs.
L. states, and we hope she will meet with
success. Miss Mollie Abbott will assist
Mrs. Lippincott in her new location. In
the meantime, the stock in Woodstown is
tion sale will commence to-morrow.
