A YEAR OF BoUNrEoUsNEss.


This has been year Of bounteous-
ness in Kentucky. Mother Nature
has come to the aid of The farmer, and
the overfiowing corn, oats and potato
fields are supplemented with extraordi-
nary fruit and nut crops. Not all ap-
pie orchard in Kentucky but has been
breaking down under its load; not a
walnut, oak. hickory or beechnut tree
but has borne wealth of mast. In
this State man might take to the
woods and not only pick up comfort
able living, but make handsome in
come off the sale of the superfluities he
might pick up. Even ginseng is bring
ing 'befo' de war prices, and it is
nearly So a pound the Sang digger is
as much in clover as the farmer and
fruit grower. With full corn cribs
and potato pits, and with an abun-
dance Of mast-fed pork in prospect, the
agriculturist can laugh at the stock
operator. Who cares for Kaffirs in
KentuckyP A similar condition of
plenty seems TO exist in Georgia. The
Atlanta Journal has interviewed more
than 10C farmers in various sections of
the State for the purpose of ascertain
ing how they are getting along in these
phi ing times of peace and advancing
prices of farm products. The farmers
almost without exception, say that
they find themselves pretty y we'll, thank
you, with the certainty of getting
almost twice as much for their cotton
AS they expected to get while making
the crop. They have their smoke
houses in readiness for the large stocks
of bacon and pork that will be put
into them as soon as .'hog-killing
time" arrives; their corncribs are
being stuffed with the grain, and
potato banks are rearing their heads
upon a thousand hills and in as many
valleys. The present is full of COM
folt and the future is big with fatness.

control. Personal cleanliness, exercise
in the open air, plain wholesome food,
and cheerfulness go a long way to-
wards good health, and most of US can
secure these il we will. But late hours
rich dishes, dislike of soap and water
and indulgence in envy, hatred and
malice are ruination both to health
and beauty.
Why should there net be intense
love of beauty in every formP A wo-
man with beauty has in ner hands an
immense power for good, if she will
but exert it, and we know from per.
sonal experience that we are more
ready to listen and, it may be, accept
advice from charming woman than
from an addressed, unprepossessing
one. II all ladies bore this in mind,
how much greater their influence
would bel The plainest of US could
greatly improve our looks if we would
but try. Nicely dressed hair, and be-
coming dresses, neatly put on, will do
much in that respect. And graceful
nessl What factor that is in the i'm
provement of ones appearance! With
little care and forethought, we need
none of us be ungainly or awkward.
Slouching, balancing from side to side
as We walk, swinging ones arms, and
striding should be avoided as far as
possible. Then, too, how terribly many
women look on a wet and dirty day,
with their skirts hitched up at the
most hideous angles, with not even a
neat petticoat showing, for it is often
lifted with the skirt! Surely, since
beauty is Heaven-sent gift, it cannot
be wrong to cultivate it, provided that
it does not lead US into extravaganza,
or, spending an undue amount of time
on our toilet. Does not our ideal wo-
man, whom We try to initiate as faith
fully as may be, possess beauty Of form
as well as of mind?
There is one form of beauty that the
plainest of us may attain, and that is
the beauty of expression. 1t seems al
most to alter the features of a face
and render pleasing the most homely
countenance. How many faces which
we call pretty owe their charms to a
pair of intelligent eyes or sweet
axpressionf And so far as this is con-
cerned, We are all responsible for our
appearance.
If we knew that all our thoughts
and the tenor of our lives would ulti-
mately be written on our faces, would
it help us to be better? It would GER
tainly be powerful incentive, but una
vailing in the end, am afraid, unless
we were actuated by some higher mo-
tive as well. Then, if the children
were but corrected for grimacing, SO
many pretty faces would not be lined
and wrinkled-entirely unnecessary
disfgurements; and if a little powder
is used after washing, to protect, and
not to whiten, the skin las so many
people suppose), veil in boisterou
weather, and sunshade on hot day,
the gain would be considerable.

Refinement in serving food-that is,
the use of pretty and suitable dishes,
clean table linen and food that should
be hot-hot in reality-and cold food
in the proper condition-may have
much TO do in making persons con-
tented, even delighted, with simple
diet. The idea that seems to prevail
at many hotels and bording houses
and in some private families is that
people like great variety of food at
one meal, when in reality satisfaction
usually comes from the fact that in
the midst of plenty it is impossible,
perhaps, to select one dish that is per-
fectly prepared and served. A broiled
chop, slice of bread or a roll and a
cup of coffee, each perfect of its kind
may delight the palate of gourmet if
the linen is dainty and the china and
silver pretty and bright.

There are many uses To which CON-
mon salt may be put, some of which
are we'll for the housewife to know.
For instance, in cooking chops or
steak over coal fire, very frequently a
blaze starts up from the fat which falls
into it, causing The meat to be black
ened. This can be avoided by throwing
salt upon the Goals, when the blaze

A bag of goo1 salt standing open in

food.
Sail is an excellent dentifr;ce when
used very occasionally. 1t whitens the
teeth wonderfully, cleanses the mouth.

telegraph wires carried the glorious
news.
Of course the vote in Bridgeton was
learned as soon as it was counted. and
sandwiched in between came some news
of the townships. Old Stow Creek was
the first in and gave Griggs "A majority,
and that was the forerunner of the great
victory. Then came the handsome ma
jority of 81 from Hopewell, and there
was more cheering hereabouts, for they
were magnificent results.
Bridgeton did itself proud. Griggs re-
ceived 56l majority, carrying every pre-
cinct. In Millville the Governor had 675
majority, not a precinct giving Demo
cratic majority. All the others were the
same. Deerfeld alone stood out in the
wet, giving McGill II plurality. The
first precinct of Downe gave Democratic
plurality, but the township gave ma
jority for the whole Republican ticket
In Bridgeton Senator Stokes had 563
majority, and Minch and Austin Jared
nearly as well, the latter being but ninety
five less than Minch.
When the pluralties assumed the 1000
mark there was the widest enthusiasm.
Cheers for Griggs, Stokes, Minch and
Austin rang in the air. Every body
seemed to be enthused. Old Cumberland.
had done her full duty, despite the fact
that the Democrats had been carrying on
despicable, criminal campaign.
Then came the news from outside the
county. First Camden's 5000 majority
was proclaimed. That settled the peo-
ple's opinion. Griggs was elected right
there. For thirty years the Republicans
had waited for this grand, glorious re-
suit and it was attained. Then came
flashing over the wires the news from
Burlington, Cape May, Mercer, Essex,
Passaic, Sussex, and ether counties. 1t
indicated land slide. A telegram from
Gen. Sewell proclaiming Griggs election
by $4,000 plurality quickly followed the
New York SUMS dispatch that Jersey
would give Griggs 10000 majority.

It Costs Little and Does Much.

Remark when you attend play or con-
cert how many people disturb the per-
forrnance by coughing. One man begins
and the cough seems to be contagious.
The Interruption is great nuisance, and
there is no need of it, for anyone may
cure cough with the Pineola Balsam,
Which costs twenty-five cents. Itsoothes
the inflammation in the throat and
loosens the mucous which clogs the air

Maryland Republican by 10000: New
York Republican by 10000; Kentucky in
line; Ohio with 100000; Pennsylvania
100000; that's the way the tickers gave it
and Republicans could not contain
themselves. Horns, rattles, drums, red
fires, bon fires, noise, blaze, enthusiasm.
A glorious Republican night-a wonder
full indication of the great awakening of
the people one year from now.
AS the PIONEER received this glorious
news the politicians were figuring upon
the county majorities. Griggs went to
2OO9. Stokes had 2Os5 majority. Minch
was elected by 1924 plurality, and Austin
for.
Up at the Democratic headquarters
which had been established in Samuel
Iredell's office, early in the evening
there was quite crowd there and they
were Ehappy and expectant; but how
soon their hopes were blasted, how soon
their fears realized. Deerfield's reduced
Democrats majority alone gave them
joy. Everything else was of a paralyzing
nature, and deep gloom settled over the
office. and they gazed with awe upon a
small file Of those forged letter circulars,
thought ueeply Of their "Angel" Chair
man, and wondered-just simply won
dered what it might have been if
All a mistake; all dream; all a great
disaster and failure. All the efforts from
the time of the building of the plans in
the Hotel Cumberland to the time when
the ''anger' Chairman played his ''las,
cards" in vain. All the money spent
goes for naught, together with Democratic
reputation and honor.

$4,000. Tammanys
Success in New
York City

Elections were held yesterday in eleven
States and one Territory.
In Massachusetts, Frederick T. Green
halge, Republican, was elected Governor
to succeed himself by a majority of 10000
over his opponent. The entire Republi-
can State ticket was elected by about the
same majority, together with Legisla-
ture Republican in both branches.
In New York the entire Republican
State ticket was elected by not less than
$4,000 majority, although the Tammany
county ticket pulled through in New
York City, owing to the disaffection OF
the Germans on the Sunday beer ques-
ton. The Legislature is likewise Repub-
lican, the holdover Senators of which
will participate in the election of a
United States Senator to succeed David
B. Hill, Democrat.
In New Jersey the Republicans make a
clean sweep, electing John w. Griggs,
Republican, for Governor by majority
| of 1000 over his Democratic opponent
| Alexander T. McGill. The Legislature
goes along with the State ticket, and is
overwhelmingly Republican.
Pennsylvania is Republican by a land
| slide majority, which is not less than
| 10000, electing Republican State Treas
urer and six Judges Of the Superior Court.
The minority Judge is in doubt.
Asa w. Bushnell, Republican. has been
elected Governor of Ohio to succeed Will
liam Mckinley by majority of $4,000,
and the Legislature, which will elect q
successor to United States Senator Calvin
| w. Brice, is strongly Republican.
! Maryland furnishes one of the surprises
of the day by electing Lloyd Loundes,
Republican, Governor by majority o.
10000 and Republican Legislature,
which will elect successor to Senator
Gibson.
In Kentucky the contest for Governor
is close, but the Republican State ticket
is probably elected, and the Legislature,
which will elect 4; successor to United
States Senator Black burn, is in doubt.
In Iowa Francis M. Drake, Republican,
is elected Governor to succeed Frank D.
Jackson, Republican, by majority OF
$4,000.
Kansas elects Republican Supreme
Judge, Nebraska Republican Supreme
Judge and two Regents of the State Uni
versity.
Utah elects Republican Governor to
succeed the Democratic appointee of Pres
ident Cleveland and Jos. McLaurin,
Democrat, is elected Governor of Missis-
sippi by big majority.
In a word the Republicans lost no State
which they have heretofore carried, and
elected Governors in three which have
been steadily Democratic heretofore, viz,
Maryland, Kentucky and New Jersey.
1t was great day for the Republicans.

Tuesday was bright day, glorious

itself in the large Republican vote, while
the helpless demoralized Democratic or

and the people fairly breathed its whole

THE NEW BRIDGE.

Work Will Soon be in Progress Upon the
Structure.
Within fortnight work will begin
upon the handsome new bridge at Broad
street, which the Freeholders propose tc
throw across the Cohansey river. The
work will continue until shortly after the
new year, when the handsome new struc-
ture will be completed and thrown open
to the public.
The contract has been signed. and Cox
Sons q Company, the contractors, have
already ordered the iron work from Pitts
burg, Pa. The iron work will soon be
here, and then work will be pushed.
The old bridge will be first removed,
and then the Cumberland Construction
Company will start in on the sub-struc-
ture. The new centre pier will require
considerable attention and care, and will
be the most important part of the work.
The pile driver will be called upon to
make many poundings. The pilings can
be driven about eight feet in the sand and
mud and will make secure foundation.
1t is thought the bridge will be COM
pleted about the middle of January of the
new year.
The Building Committee of the Free
holders have decided to put pontoon or
floating bridge across the river while the
new structure is being put up. This will
be foot bridge and will be great con-
venience to the people who are in the
habit of using the bridge. The foot bridge
~will probably go from Fithian & Pencils
wharf to the Buck estate on the other side
of the river.
