DR.. S. T. Miller, has sold his SO acre
farm adjoining Paulsboro, to a Joseph

CHAN was a farmer and lived at Berk-

he failed to realize his great danger is a
mystery, as the engineer did everything
in his power TO attract the mans atten-

A TALK ON
SEWING MACHINES
With Spring sewing to be
done the need of a Sewing
Machine is clearly apparent.
But think twice before you
buy! An order to any ma
chine dealer will fetch you one
in a hurry; or more likely the
ubiquitous agent has found
you before there has been time
to look around. Good ma
chimes are numerous-but the
cost! 500 is the usual price
for a machine as good as can
be made-as good as tile

se sell at $25.
There are fifteen special
points OF goodness about the
Quaker City Machine. We
didn't invent one of them. All
basic patents on sewing ma
chimes have long ago run out,
and any bright machinist can
build a machine. Ours are
built at a great factory whose
owner likes the big orders we
give. They cost us as much,
probably, as machines cost
other producers. But there is
no w~asteful expense in the
selling. We teach their use
here we don't trade for other
machines; we have no one to
protect but the retail pur-
chaser.

SCHOOL

The annual meeting for the election
of three School Trustees was held Tues
day evening. At the Penn's Grove
School j. II. Smith was chairman and
G. ii. Elkinton Secretary. Only three
nominations we've made, G. II. Elkin-
ton, II. s. Titus and James Borden
who were elected, only 10 votes being
cast.
While the hour was passing during
which the polls were open S. r. Leap
and Prof. Smith made some admirable
remarks on the educational line. Prin.
cipal Smith said his room was crowded
and to relieve the pressure OH the rooms
below he had taken another division in
his room, making three. He had hop
ed the Legislature would change the
law so a teacher could he employed
three or four months In The year, dur
ingthe time when the school was crowd
ed, but believed nothing had been done
or would be done to enable money TO be
procured for such a teacher. If there
was such a law Supt. Gwynne informed
him such a teacher would be no extra
expense. A high school department
was needed. Woodstown has one. Pu
pills now complete the course at Is and
16 and no provision is made for a course
of study after completing the regular
course. Owing to the crowded condi-
tion in the winter months The principal
could not make provision for such a
course, without an extra teacher. With
another teacher a class for dull pupils
could also be made.
District Clerk Elkinton's report
showed that the receipts the past year
had been as follows:
From State Appropriation, $2S27.17
Paid teachers, $2095
Fuel, 1916 2114.4S
Balance on hand, SIP. SO
Special money, $S12.27
