The Farmers Union.

The Farmers Union, of Pennington,
N. J., will hold their first picnic at the
Pennington school house on Saturday
afternoon and evening June 18th. Our
friends and the public in general are cor
daily invited to pay us a visit on that
occasion and have good time and also
have the opportunity to see the progress
that has been made in a few years by the
untiring spirit of our industrious and
hard working people. This union was
formed principally by it's originators for
the mutual benefit and protection of the
tiller OF the soil and to enable him to get
fair recompense for his labor. We
firmly believe that in union there is
strength and we are convinced that it is
all folly to combat single handed theconl-'
binations arrayed against us in order to
place US always at great disadvantage
in the produce market. We are notifying
to persuade anybody that we are going
| to set the world on fire, but we are
firmly convinced that: "United we'll
stand but divided we'll crawl"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless,
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an intlam-
ed condition of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Against Time.

On Saturday afternoon, about three
O'Clock two horse team passed through
here on it's way to Atlantic City that
was trying to make record against old
Father Time. 1t belonged to William
O'Neil, of Frankford, Pa. and the owner
was driving it on wager of five hun
dred dollars that he could dcross the State
Of New Jersey from the Delaware River
to the Atlantic Ocean in nine hours. The
distance by carriage road is seventy
miles, and the team was twenty-five
minutes ahead Of the scheduled time
when it arrived at Egg Harbor City.
The road from there to Pleasantvile
was very heavy and Sandy, and the
race was lost between these two places.
The team arrived at Kuehnlc's Hotel in
Atlantic City, at $50 P. M. Just fifty
minutes behind time. The efollowiDg will
show the route, stopping places and
time made. The start was made from
Frankford, Pa, at a. M; Shacka-
maxon street ferry, 6.31, (here 23 min
utes was lost by missing a boat; Camden
City Hall 703; White Horse, 1857, 10
minutes resD; Gibbsboro, $50; Berlin,
S.42; Wilton, $50, e minutes rest),
Blue Anchor, 9.43; Hammonton, 1925,
(rest 46 minutes to feed and water
horses, etc.; 1885 P. NJ, crest min
utes); Pleasantville, 2. "a; Atlantic City,
$50.
The owner feels confident he can make
the course within the nine hour limit
and is ready to bet and drive again.
The opinion of the horses has not vet
been asked.

Quite n number Of our towns people
attended the commencement exercises at
the Academy of Music in Atlantic City.
All the numbers were well given and
greatly enjoyed especially Harry North's
class prophecy which if it materializes
will revolutionizc the world. Miss
NellieShaner and Eugene Lake also did
very nicely in the parts which they gave.
Rev. Mr. White, the pastor of the Cen
trail NJ E. Church, of Atlantic City, bears
a striking personal resemblance to the
noted Col. Robert G. Ing gersol, the great
free thinker. They are also somewhat
a like in their voice and manner of ad-
dr.. ess; but the resemblance ceases when
YOU take into accouD their subjects and
their comments thereon. Upon every
thing relating to theology they are as
wide al art as the poles.

Three of our bicyclers were arrested
and fined in Atlantic City last Saturday
evening because they had no lantern on
their wheels. Recorder Gouldey fined
them $3 80 and costs, notwithstanding
there were scores of Atlantic City wheel
men going around at the same time on
the same streets without lanterns. 1t
makes q difference, it would seem, who
violates an ordinance in Atlantic City,
If he belongs there he can do what he
pleases without being molested, but if he
is somebody from "off Shore" he must
be nabbed and fined. Some of the riders
from Atlantic City when they come over
here act as if they "owned the earth"
and are utterly defiant of the rights Of
our citizens to walk upon their own
sidewalks. We hope our local authori-
ties will give these gentlemen (?) q little
dose of the same kind Of medicine that is
meted out to Absecon wheelmen when
they go to Atlantic.

Now with pleasurable invitations we
turn to the mild, genial glances of joyous

the charms of June present strangely
beautiful contrast to the artificial as
poets Of the business world around us,
for the changes of the rolling seasons
move on with unerring regularity, and
their varied beauty display themselves
to the gaze of man, as if no vicissitudes
of gloom and depression in human for
tunes ever shook society to it's very CEN
tire.
See! See! The shooting verdure spreads
around;
Ye sons Of men, with rapture view the
On hill and dale, on meadow, field and
grove,
Clothed in soft mingling shades from
hight to dark,
The wandering eye delighted, moves un-
tired.
This is so, because wisdom discrimina-
ting between different plans and choos-
ing invariably the best, guides the Diety
in all His works. And in the light of
cultivated reason we may go forth, look
abroad, and see wealth Of beauty and
perfection, profusion of simplicity and
goodness in the manifestation Of the
present season of the year.
At this season, too, creation riots in
richness exhilirating with living fra
GRANGE, while gladstone sounds greet us
rich and sweet from field and forest,
making beauty to the eye and music to
the ear. The glorious June, the pearl
and crown Of the year, is richly sugges-
tive Of beautiful and useful thought. 30
what glory doth this world put on,
For him who with fervent heart goes
forth under the bright and glorious sky,
and looks on duties we'll performed and
days well spent. For him the wind aye,
and the verdant leaves shall have voice
and give him eloquent teaching"

am glad Mr.. Editor to see that you
have got the disposition TO state the
case fairly and forcibly in regard to the
outrage lately perpetrated upon our

find that neither the Union or Review

even printed it as an item of news. The
PRESS is the only paper that l have seen

about the matter, and condemn the

favorable to your course on this terrible
affair, and | am glad to know that we

takes the side of the poor man every

am not newspaper writer, but sign
it so you may know who your cores
poDdent is. A CITIZEN.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Ho! 1t has come to pass
that one in taking ''poetical license" in
her endeavor to swiftly put to death a
lot of wicked people, has actually led a
Scullvillite to wonder whether dynamite
really was known when piracy existed
Vaguely silent since March 81 he awak-
ened on June 5th, haunted by the fear of
modern explosives, and musters courage
enough to inquire ''Will the people
please tell me if dynamite was known to
the world when there were pirates?"
Don't all speak at once rise to the oc-
aston and hope to work upon his gray
matter, this time happily. 1t occurs to
me that in 1903 Americans succeeded in
getting exemption from the Tripolitan's
attacks against our commerce, though
piracy probably existed up to 1915 in
our seas and even later in the Mediter-
ranean and Chinese seas. Indeed Theo-
dosia, the beautiful daughter of Aaron
Burr was compelled by pirates to walk
from plank into the sea to certain and
cruel death. Even at the present day we
occasionally hear of piratical attacks by
small bands of savages in the islands of
the Southern Seas, but they have no reg
ular organized existence as in former
times. | hope my unknown critic will
rest easier if inform him that probably
he is not the only person in the world
who knows that dynamite is a modern
invention, but it served my purpose to
(poetically) blow up a lot of worthless
,scoundrels at an earlier date. No one
was actually killed, and nobody hurt"
unless it was our unhappy Scullville
philosopher, who seems to have faint
suspicion that a good deal more than
the average amount of human wisdom
is enclosed within his anatomy
