AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.
To the People Of Scranton.

To the People Of Scranton.
A year and half ago I addressed q
letter to the public through the Republic
cans. setting fourth the needs Of our
people In this city relative to q new
church At that, time we contemplated
making an effort to build, but circum-
stances over which We had no control pre-
vented. and the matter was dropped for
the time. but was not lost sight OF by the
members.
When \ people are so constantly taxed
for charitable purposes as they are in
this city II Is somewhat embarrassing to
come before the public for help. But the
add one more appeal / know Of no cause
which deserves your sympathy and help
any more than Uis one. Our people have
4 good lot. 6s BY 10 feet. with small
church building and parsonage on 1t. But
the location Is very bad, 1t being on an
alley. hemmed In OH all sides, mostly by
stables, and In bad weather Il is very
inconvenient to get TO the church.
Now. what our people need and. what
property and buy lot In convenient
place on the street. and build q church
with some OF the modern improvements.
which are so necessary for social ana
charitable as well as spiritual work. ! ap-
peal to the good people of Scranton 20
help us in this most worthy cause. know
Of no city where Is more charitable work
done than there IL here and where there
Is more money gwen through the churches
and by private contributions to help my
people in the south. For this I feel very
grateful and this encourages me to ap-
peal to you to help my people here at
home A very little investigation will
convince you that they need 1t.
There are but few OF our people in
Scranton: barely enough to support
church, and all being laboring people they
are unable to build without your help.
Hence ] appeal to you In their behalf.
They will hold q rally In the church
Sunday, March 20. at which time they
will give themselves and their friends an
opportunity TO help them. Any amount
which. you may give will be thankfully re-
ceived Any amount that you may send
to the pastor will be duly acknowledged.
A soliciting committee will be appointed
soon, whose names will be published in the
city papers.
make this appeal to you in the name Of
our dear Heavenly Father, whose word
teaches us that 1t Is more blessed to give
than to receive. Hoping that you will
help q little. l remain
Your obedient servant,

HammontOn Notes.

Mr.. Oliver ]. Hammell was in town on
Saturday looking after his business.
The new county road is being COM
pleted very fast. 1t has now reached
the centre of the town.
AIessrs Edward Strickland. John An
derson, NJ. s. jackson and Geo. Elvins
are all candidates for postmaster.
Mr.. d. B. Frazier, the manager of the
Mays Landing brick works. stopped
with Mr.. Bockius for lunch while in town
on Saturday, looking after his business
affairs generally.
The speak-easy question here is form
ing quite serious shape. Many wit
nesses have been subpOenaed, arrests
made, and prospects of quite livery
time between the temperance people
and some of the Italians. Many express
sions are being made to the effect II
liquor is to be handled it should be done
by license and controlled by some sys-
TEN, which is not the case at present,
and hence, it is charged, much of it can
be had secretly.
The Grand Army men of Atlantic City
and county had reunion here on Sat
urday night. Many members were III
attendance, after which collation. was
served at the 3ockius Hotel. MIR. Fred
erick Bockius. the proprietor, formerly
of Atlantic City. is a very pleasing and
entertaining gentleman, and can pre-
pare meal that anybody can enjoy.
Many bicyclists stop with him for lunch
con on their way from Philadelphia and
Atlantic City.
Since the notice of the application of
w. ]. Newell, of Plcasantville, printed
in the last issue of the South Jersey Re-
publican and the Atlantic Journal in
regards to the removal of the county
seat, the matter generally is being talked
of. The general impression being that
nine-tenths of the population of HAM
monton would vote for the removal, from
the fact that it is impossible to reach
Nays Landing and attend to any Dusl-
ness by rail and return the same day,
and TO ride is cost of So, first for
team, and long tedious, cold and dreary
ride, or hot and dusty.
A very large number of our wheelmen
are trying the new road and when it is
completed it will become great thor
oughfare for bicycles. The HammontOn
Hotel, F. K. Bockius. proprietor, some
times has as many guests as can be
seated in the dining-rOOm who are trav-
elling back and forth from Camden.
The G. A. r. Veterans of Joe Hooker
Post, of Atlantic City, sent a delegation
here, Saturday evening, to attend the
inspection of the Russell Post. The Wis
itors were: E. F. Ham, s. L. Wescoat.
G. B. Zane. Harry Durham and Geo. d.
Perkins. They were royalty entertained,
after the inspection, by the local Post.
with singing, recitations, supper and
dancing. The Ladies' Relief Corps, the
Sons Of Veterans, and many prominent
citizens were present.
