Let's Have Promp. Service.

On our statement last week about tie
delaying of the mails at our st ttion,
Station agent Elder rushes into print to
say that the 'rumorn is an unjust ,ceu-
sation." We did not know that Mr.. Elder
had anything to do with the mails, are
sure we did not accuse him of delaying
them, aid conclude he must have taken up
the pen in some ones behalf. Despite
Mr.. Elders statements, the fact still re-
mains that the mails are unnecessarily de-
layed at the station. Oae night last week
it was seventeen minutes from the arrival
of the train until the mail was de-
livered at the pest office and on
many occasions it is from ten to fifteen
minutes before they are brought down. AS
the distance can be walked in four MINUTES.
this is what we feel warranted in terming
unnecessary delay, and we don't see any use
in sending complaints to ffieais elsew here
to remedy matter thar can be SO easily
disposed of here, by the mail carrier deliver
ing the mails at the office within reason
able time, and thus receiving the thanks of
the public in general.

DEAR MISUNDERSTANDING the able corps
of writers that haze from time to time
slung their qaills for the benefit Of the
MONITOR readers, from s'William Riley"
(sho, by the way, | would gladly renew
acquaintance with if be is still 10 the land
oi the liyipe) down TO '.BHter Pill, +" there
are none who have interested us more than
JOSIAH" and | was glad to see that be
was not dead, but only lazy, and that his
pen bad lost none OF its force and fanciful-
ness. But | could nes help ihiaking that
friend Josiah" was away off" in his
Judgment as to the value Of real estate in
Woodstown, as shown IN his comment on
the actual sale Of the corner lot to the
bank aud the alleged sale OF the hotel
property to a imam from New Egypt"
Neither OF these transactions are any eri.
terion Of the real value of property here.
The bank lot brought q big price, thai
everybody knoms. but the price as offered
by but Que customer, aud they were the
only one that wanted it at any price just
then, and they were dealing with man
who, if report says truly, did not care to
sell at any price. But they wanted it be-
cause it best suited their purpose, and
while they would rather have had it
cheaper, they wanted it enough to pay for
it what they could get it for if they could
not get it for less. and everybody concedes
that to them and for their purpose it was
cheap enough and " ise investment Yet,
don't suppose there is a business man i'll
town who Believes that, if the owner had
been anxious or compelled to sell that par
ticular lot and had offered it at public sale
TO the highest bidder, there would have
been anv one on hand who would have run
it up on the bank to more than half the
figure they paid for il.
As to the hotel property, il S20, 600 was
ever offered for ii. it is no indication of a
phenomenal rise in real estate values, but
of the phenomenal value of monopoly Of
rum-selliDg. for every body knows that the
land and buildings of the Woodstown
hotel property are not now and never were
worth anything like $40, 0Go apart from the
business of ru,n-selling conducted thereon.
Take that away and put the property on
the market to the highest bidder, and
Josiah will be safe in predicating real
estate values ia the business part of the
town on the result, but don't think he
would be wise in making any real estate
investments on the scale of values which
he seems TO see SUE gested by either of tie
deals" he refers To. And if | were dis
posed to moraliZe. might dwell upon tie
facts below the surface indicated by the
value of property used for tie rum selling
business. The amount ofintoxicanis that
must be consumed to make the business
and plant SO valuable; the sum total Of
misery, poverty aud wretchedness which it
represents; the loss of values to other prof.
critics and business which a fourisAiBg
rum trade entails. But your readers are
familiar 18th these things. Tney see the
sowing and watch the harvest every day
in cur nidst. May they personally have
no part nor lot in the matter, is the wish
Of yours truly, NAYFARER.

Little damage was done. however
Some boys started fire in the yard adjoin-
ing Jeremiah Ancerson's property at Har-
niersy lille on Wednesday. AS the wind blew
the flames directly toward his barn ii ifrequired
the united efforts of several people to prevent
it getting on fire. L he barn is situated in the
centre of the village and had it caught fire it
is likely that part of the place would have
been burned, as strong wind was blowing at
the time. WIN. J, SMITH.
