mer residents at Harver Cedars. which
are to be presented on the Fourth of July
to the captain and crew of the Harvey
Cedars Life Saying Station in recognition
of the successful rescue of the crew of the
schooner A. F. Crockett which was
wrecked on the beach at Harvey Cedars
during the terrible storm on May 21st.

height before daybreak and was so credi-
table as to induce the citizens to resort to
this method of showing their approval of
it. The Fourth of July was selected for
the presentation of medals because of its
special appropriateness. and number of
prominent citizens, including Governor
Werts, have been invited to be present
and witness the exercises, which will
take place at four o'clock on the beach
in front of the wreck. The men to whom
the medals are to be given are Captain

The Riverside Sand Burr says: "The
greater portion of the earlier laid stone
roads throughout the county are in a
beastly condition and it begins to look as
if in our efforts to effect a much needed
improvement in our highways we have
made in some way a sad and expensive
mistake. The second coating of stone is
working to the surface from lack of suf-
ficient binding clay and an insufficient
amount of top coating or dust and this
leaves rough spots and holes and the road
strewn with sharp stones, endangering
horses feet and making the roadway I'M
slightly. The road from Riverton to
Moorestown is in particularly bad con-
dltion, being apparently lower in the
centre than on the sides, thus giving a
place for water to settle. In some places
it looks as if the side surface had washed
away. $4,000 mile is a good price. to
say the least, for roads that show wear
like this in one or two years."
