Promenade, yesterday morning, but un-
der orders from Mayor Stoy, delivered in
person by Chief of Police Eldridge, all
except the Haunted Forest closed up at

lowed suit at noon and no arrests were
made Time alone will tell what the result

Our old friend, Peter r. Tucker, looks
as bright end as cheerful as in days of
yore Mr.. Tucker is well and favorably
known in Atlantic, where by frugality
and perseverance he has acquired consid-
erable property. Peter is the first
colored men that has ever been elected to
position in Atlantic county by the vote
of the people. His majority of between
four and five hundred votes attest his
popularity. Constable Tucker, we trust
higher honors are in store for you.

July 21 st, was the banner Sunday
