A SPECIAL OFFER TO PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

We want to increase the circulation
of the MoNIToR-REG1sTER and place
1t IN every family in Salem and Glou-
cester counties. 1t has shown a
steady increase since we assumed the
management of its affairs, but we want
to add 1000 names to our subscrip-
ton list in the next ninety days, and
IN order to do this we make the fol-
lowing proposition to the public
schools of Salem and Gloucester
counties:
We will present to each public
school in tine two counties $40 for the
benefit of their school library, if the
teacher and scholars of said school
will send US a club of fifty subscribers
to the MoNIToR-REGIsTER at 81 a
year, this to include a years sub
scrlption to the Farm Journal and a
beautiful picture of George Washing
ton, that ought to be framed and hung
In every school-house. The money
must, in every case, accompany the
name of the subscriber, and schools
entering the contest, if they are una
ble to obtain the full number, will be
paid pro rata amount for the number
of subscribers sent.
Here is an opportunity for every
district to aid their school and at the
same time receive full equivalent for
their money. The two papers are
more than worth the money, and we
are contemplating some improvements
in the MoNIToR-REGIsTER that will
still farther enhance its value to our
readers. 1896 will be stirring year,
and no family ought to be without a
good local paper.

Mrs. AFFORDS Entertainment.

The elocutionary entertainment given
by Mrs. G. M. Afford, of Philadelphia,
at the Woodstown Presbyterian Church,
on last Tuesday evening, was elegant,
refined and captivating. Everybody was
pleased. No one, either young or old,
was dull, drowsy, or uninterested. She
held the attention of her audience from
the beginning to the end of her recitals.
Mrs. Afford is gifted elocutionist,
graceful in her movements and wipsome
in her manners. Her versatility is re-
markable, and her impersonations true to
nature. Her program, published last
week, included a number of good selec-
tions, some of which were humorous.
The platform was tastefully furnished
and decorated. The young people of the
choir enlivened the audience with vocal
and instrumental music. The attendance
was good, but would have been much
larger if the weather had not been so
unfavorahle. If she visits Woodstown
again, Mrs. Afford will have full house.
