has provoked the ire of some engaged in
that line of work and, contrary to what
might have been expected, given the bust
ness a boom. At present it would seem
next to impossible to handle all the cases
requiring attention and under cor sidera-
ton. Additional force, however, has been
taken on, and the indications are that all
our peoples affairs will be looked after, if
they can wait.

received a communication from a Gamer
in Colorado, who wishes to purchase one of
the machines. Evidently it is one oil those
labor saving devices that is sure to be
adopted when once known.
Veterans of the late war should keep
their eyes open. There is a new swindler
about. This time it is canvasser pretend
ing to be securing dates for a soldiers
history. The questions asked are cheer
fully and correctly answered by all. After
the information has been written out the
unsuspecting informant is requested to
sign it, being assured it is only wanted as
authority for publishing. After a few
days those interviewed are furnished a So
history, aud are surprised to find their

The building committee of the First
National Bank are actively at work in pre-
pairing for the erection of the new banking
house, and have this week settled on AL
bert W. Dilkes, architect, of Philadelphia,
to prepare the final plans, upon the adop-
ton of which bids for the construction of
the building will be received. The prelim-
mary plans prepared by Mr.. bikes show a
structure of most handsome design, that
would be a credit to any of the large cities,
and he indications are that Woodstown
will soon rave a banking house the equal
Of any in the State.
A surprise was given Miss Prissie Lip
pincott on Tuesday evening, May 18th, at
the residence of Mr.. Frank Gaventa in
P~erkintown, in honor of her birthday.

Pedricktown, Swedesboro and Woodstown.
A pleasant time was spent in playing
games, after which the company were in
vited out to refreshments, consisting of
ice-cream, cake, etc. After listening to
some excellent music favored by their
hostess, they separated for their respective
homes, wishing Miss Prissie and sister
many happy birth. days.
Almost every farmer or farmers son has
a trotting horse or a colt that shows eyi-
dence of speed. What counted for fast
time hereabouts a quarter of a century ago
is not considered in this year of ninety-one.
1t would appear that every one is trying
to better the stock of horses, the greatest
aim being for speed. We question whether
there is any county in the United States
mol bordering on some larger cities, that
can show more really valuable horses and
colts than can be found in this little inland
county of Salem. And it would seem that
the desire to breed and raise fine roadsters
is infectious and rapidly growing all the
time. At the rate we are going now it is
safe to predict that those of us who are
here in twenty years from today will
see far more improvement in this line than
In the same period past.
