All last winter Mr.. Geo. A. Mills, OF

with rheumatism. At times it was so
severe that he could not stand up
straight, but was drawn over on one

tx months ago l bought a bottle of

The Martz Brothers added lot of
clean fun between the acts of the play,
Saturday evening, which the audience
greatly enjoyed. These young men are
excellent all around comic performers of
whom Pleasantville has reason to be
proud. They also have sense enough to
know that the average audience enjoys
wit without vulgarity-a fact which
many seem to forget when they appear
before the public.
Collector Barrett claims the credit OF
having secured the passage of the law
under which Pleasantville will have the
light to elect Chosen Freeholder. 1t

taxpayer, to be represented upon the
County Board of Freeholders, and if Mr.
Barrett has done anything to bring
about the result we are willing he should
nave the credit of it. 1t is too broad
question to be narrowed down to mere
local party lines.
While coming out of the Hall, Satur-
day evening, we overheard an interesting

success. A programe consisting of
vocal and instrumental music and reci-
tations, were rendered by a number of
the pupils of the school. After games
