but as public-spirited citizen.

vile, Pa, be it
Resolved. That as members of the var
lous churches of Mount Holly and as
citizens thereof, we tender to the Rev.
S. Harper Leeper the expression of our
unfeigned regret at his contemplated de-
parture; that we bear testimony to his
pure and exemplary life during the six
years of his passionate and citizenship in

Rev. Mr.. Leeper was not present at

tered at the meeting, and the man
Hesitation of such feeling of friendship
towards him. With just appreciation of
the action of his fellow citizens. he feels
that if he has done anything to benefit
the church or the town, that the praise is
not due as much to him as to the Divine
Master, whose servant he is and under
whose guidance he has lived and labored
while in Mount Holly.

Because Fish Warden Wise, of Burling-
ton, has been compelling the observance
of the game laws, some who have been
forced to halt in illegal proceedings have
watched the warden, and having discov :
cred what they thought to be misde-
meanor on his part, have attempted to
retaliate.
The State commission is DESTROYS of
stocking the streams with fish, and for
this purpose directed Mr.. Wise to secure
fish. In order to carry this into effect,
the warden was authorized to stake nets.
The fishermen claim that 1t is illegal to
adjust nets in this manner and that the
warden has no more right to violate the
law than anybody else has.
Whether they will press the matter re-
mains to be seen, but it would seem to be
useless proceeding, especially if the idea
is revenge or disposition to put the war
den in hole. He is acting under the d.
rections OF the State commission and there
is little doubt that they have the power
to use the means adopted for stocking
purposes.
1t is we'll known that the fish supply in
our streams has been greatly reduced
within the past few years and from the
number of arrests made by Warden Wise.
there are fair grounds for presuming that
illegal fishing has had much to do with
this state of affairs, hence the energetic
officer should be firmly supported in his
endeavors to enforce the law. as well as in
his efforts to restore to law abiding lovers
of sport the privileges that have been
taken from them by lawbreakers.
Mr.. Wise is the best fish warden this
county has had for years. He takes de-
cided interest in his work. In connection
with the stocking of ponds with fish, he
has taken the dimensions of every pond
and lake in the county In his garden
he has large tank, in which he puts the
fish taken from the river.

A PIaa.ant Gatheriae.

One of the most successful annual gath
erlngs of the Columbus Snapper Soup
Club assembled in John Kerlins woods,
on Tuesday. The affair was gotten up by
invitation and this feature secured good
attendance of representative men, the
number exceeding that of any former oc-
casion. Judges, lawyers, county officials
and laymen did justice to the handsome
menu prepared by the veteran commissa-
ries-John Kerlin and Charles Black,
whose receipt for making snapper soup is
the envy of all connoisseurs.
The fun commenced about o'clock and
was so diversified that all had an oppor-
tunity to enjoy themselves.
At this point Judge Gaskill arrived upon
the scene and supplied long-felt want by
passing around one hundred fragrant
cigars.
"Dory" Gaskill said the occasion was
one for pleasure. and cautioned all hands
not to talk politics. Ex-Sheriff Hays was
active in seeing that the order was obeyed.
Judge Gaskill, however, managed to
whisper few important remarks on the
forbidden subject into ''Dory's" ear, which
was SO encouraging that the latter let this
little infraction of the rule pass by with
the exclamation: "Good Pm glad to hear
that"
At the beginning of duet by John
Henry Antrim and Charles Vansant, ST.,
the notes were so discordant as to cause
Judge Lippincott to completely collapse.
The dignified judge refused profered as
sistance, but finally made his way to
cake of ice, on which he sat until fully re-
covered.
John B. Townsend, and his son, the
sheriff, cleaned the boys up at QUOT pitch
ing. While engaged in this sport Judge
Glasgow met with an accident that made
him envious of the large army of happy
benedicts. However, he said he would
get his best girl to repair the damage.

arrived in the afternoon and at once sug-
gested game of "put up or shut up"
Veterinary J. Hume Carter was the
only physician present. All those who
felt i'll from any cause, were prescribed
for and compelled to take their medicine
out of the same bottle.
The occasion was interrupted by rain
for the first time in fifteen years.
