Cards of Thanks.

If there is any one thing more than
another In country newspaper that
seems strangl ly out of keeping with an
established correct order Of things, it is
that Of the ubiquitous "Cards of
Thanks" They are not, and we desiike
to believe, ever were, in good form.
Administration to the want of the sick
and dying is a sacred duty that is almost
a sacrilege to bring down to the level Of
a mere exchange of courtesies, and
while it is entirely proper that thank
ful feeling on the part of sorrowing
friends should be entertained and
expressed, a public proclamation of
them is in extremely bad taste. We
suppose our rural brethren are often
placed in posii rs where a refusal to
publish these notices would be difficult,
but they should at least give voice to a
sentiment that will in the end do away
with the desire to have them pub

they have only one duty and that is to
present united front to the common
enemy. Especially is this true, at this
time, when the country is groaning un-
der the weight of Democratic ascend
ancy and is seeking partial deliverance
from that burden through the restora-
ton of the House of Representatives to
the hands of the party which alone has
shown itself to possess the disposition
and the genius to serve and conserve,
by its policy, the interests of all the
people. individuals, al best, are only
instruments by which and through
which these results are to be wrought
out. Their usefulness only differs in
degree. Personal and local feeling and
consideration and preference there
always must be, but that should be
merged in and submerged by the great
er things involved. The Post has
preached these things before, when it

Our return home was via the LeHi.h
Valley and Grand Trunk. That portion
passed through by night going was seen
by day on our return trip. The scenery
returning lost none Of its lustre and
charm but to the contrary attracted our
attention more than ever. We arrived
IN Chicago Wednesday afternoon at five
O'Clock and found the city under martial
law. The destruction of cars by the
strikers was evident on every hand.
Our train was guarded in and out. The
strict survilance and guard duty by the
regulars and state militia made one feel
rather unpleasant. 4 state of uncer-
tainty seemed to prevail and everyone
appeared TO be looking forward to a
renewed attack We felt much relieved

are kept in perfect repair by the
founder Mr.. James A. Bradley. 1t is
strictly one mans city, whose power
is as general and whose dictates are
respected as those of a King. He has
the full and complete control. It's this
city's good fortune that he is broad
gagged, kind man whose liberality is
unbounded. Mr.. Bradley gives this
history Of Asbury Park:
cone afternoon in May, 1870, was
walking down Broadway, New York,
and suddenly ran against my friend,
David II. Brown Esq, treasurer Of the
Ocean Grove Association. How is
Very fairly said he, why don't you
buy lot? Those who have their
names put down now have first choice
We'll, put me down for two said l. A
few days after, in company with some
friends, we started for Ocean Grove.
We took the boat for Port Monmouth,
thence by railroad to EatontoWn. The
seashore route was opened few days
afterwards. After dining at Mr.
Browns country house at Eatontown,
we drove to Ocean Grove in carriages.
The turnpike company had just com
menced operations, and from Great
Pond to Ocean Grove was one of the
worst roads that could we'll be imagined.
| was completely taken with Ocean
Grove and it's surroundings-so much so
that [ purchased the first lot ever sold
there, the premium being SS5.
Having for some time previous been
in bad health, [ concluded to try what
| had been recommended-sea air
Too close application to business had
made inroads on my constitution and
my nervous system was seriously
affected. Soa few days after purchasing
the lots, taking two horses, carriage and
tent and John Baker, my colored man,
| left the hum of the city behind to
become an inhabitant of the wild
woods, where my wearied body and
brain might rest, lulled to sleep by the
murmuring sea at night and awakened
in the morning by the songs of birds in
the pine trees surrounding my couch. !"
After giving his experience in camp
life he continues:
During the camp meeting that took
place in August, we often heard the
inquiry, who owns the land on the
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1894-07-19

that you advance the requisite amount
to secure the property, and if the
association desire to take it, your
money to be refunded. We are to have
a weeks option to consider the matter
A majority of the association decided
not to purchase the land, although
some urged it very strongly; SO the
property became mine-I at the same
time assuring them that the property
would be resold only to such parties as
would appreciate the situation of the
place.
AS stated above it was supposed that
immense profits would result from the
purchase of the land known as Asbury
Park, but the man who had tried to
meet every emergency that has arisen
is wiser now than when he first risked
fortune in an entirely new and
untried scheme. There was not, so far
as he knew, seaside resort, an iDcor-
pOrated town, on the American
continent or in Europe, where in the
deeds the sale of Intoxicating liquor
was prohibited; with your restriction
you can never make seaside resort
success so near New York. said the
timid and the croakers, but the founder
Of Asbury Park with an intense and
lifelong hatred of the liquor traffic, has
given hundreds and hundreds Of deeds
which are on record at the County
Clerks office, and contain a protest
against the curse Of society which the
American people strangely allow to
exist; and yet Asbury Park notwith-
standing did grow and its success has
been SO great that the anti-liQuor clause
is now feature in the deeds of many
seaside resorts started on the New
Jersey coast within the past ten years.
AS the town grew serious difficulty
arose: How shall you drain and sewer
the place?' 1t was found that the
people were not prepared to grapple
with that question so, again, another
fortune was invested in demonstrate
ing that seaside towns on the New
Jersey coast could be severed, and
every house pat in complete sanitary
condition.
Money has not tsgn lost on the
purchase of Asbury Park, but the slight
profit made "a mere salary to its
founder) would disgust the ordinary
speculator, and although the calculation
as to profits has been d disappointment,
the enterprise has been a grand success.
There will never be another seaside

MURDER IN BASIC CITY.
George Tyree (Colored) Killed and Robbed
of Small Sum of Money.

BASIC CITY, VA, December 2i.-(Spe-
clal)-George Tyree. colored man Of
family and about IS years old, was killed
last Saturday night between 10 and II
o'clock and placed on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway al the crossing Of the
Winchester road, about 100 yards east of
the Chesapeake and Ohio depot. on Sun
day Mayor Robert F. Leedy, acting as
coroner. summoned a jury to inquire into
the cause OF the death OF Tyree. Drs. r.
S. Griffith and S. a. Austin made the
post-mortem examination. The evidence
was to the effect that Tyree had been
struck with something like pick near
the right cheek-bOne, causing wound
four and a half inches deep, ending at
the left lower jaw-bone. There was a
slight bruse just above the fatal wound
The right arm was slightly scraped and
the elbow crushed, as II done by wheel.
1t was thought by the physicians that
the fatal blow was struck some time
before the arm was injured, as there
was but little blood from the crushed
elbow.
Tyree was drinking. and was seen with
some white men In a bar-room at about
10 o'clock. The men left together. Tyree
had s. or Sc. which he put in an old
pocket-book just before leaving the bar
room. When his body was found some
thirty minutes later It was searched
and the money had been taken. The
Jury did not have sufficient evidence to
convict any one with the crime, so the
verdict was that George Tyree came
TO his death from wound in the head
caused by an instrument unknown to the
Jurors and inflicted by some one I'M
known to the jury" The matter VIII
doubtless be investigated by the Common
wealth. though it may be difficult 10 find
the guilty persons. ryree had a difficulty
some time ago with man who shot him
in the leg, but this matter had been
made up between them. The only reason
able presumption is that some one who
knew he had money killed him for the
purpnse of robbery.
