was ore OF the severest Enown Tor years,

Baseball.

The Peasantville Base Ball Club was
again defeated by the Atlantic City A. A.
on Saturday last by score of Is to II.
1t was an interesting game with numer-
GUS errors on both sides. Mr.. John
BrasselI who pitched such good ball for
Pleasantville last season was in the
points for our home tram. but on
account of having sprained wrist was
very wild and had to leave the game
after the sixth inning.
BRIEFS
Our bows needed little ginger after
the first inning.
That catch Of Hackett's was a daisy.
A great many people thought Brassel
was bought off. hut John is not one OF
that kind.
With a little more team practice we
will be O. X.
We miss Tony behind the bat.
Next Saturday our boys play the
Eclipse of Atlantic City.

AQUA rter of "A Million nit.

It has been q favorite argument OF
a few people who are interested in keeping
ing the County Seat at MaysLanding
that it would cost quarter OF million
dollars to build new County buildings
at Pleasantville. The best answer that
can be made to such nonsense is the
publication of few solid facts and fig
ures. Last week the editor ofthe "Press"
wrote letters to the officials in the sew
eral counties OF the State requesting
them to forward to him such information
as would enable him to ascertain the
cost OF public buildings in other places,
The first reply was received from Mr..
Frank B. Ridgway, Clerk OF Gloucester
County, who informs us that the pub
lie buildings, located at Woodbury., are
the finest County buildings in the State.
The court house was built in 1886, is
constructed OF stone, 64x93 feet, and
three stories high, containing IA rooms,
besides IL rooms in the basement. 1t
cost $65,000. The jail, also OF stone,
built in 1877, is 36x48 feet, with resi-
dence 36x42 feet, and cost So, 900.
Here is total cost OF $500 for the
newest and best buildings in the whole
State, and they were built when materials
were considerably higher than they are
now. 1t is entirely sale to cay that new
modern buildings, adapted to Atlantic
County needs, can be erected for $751;
600, OF nearly forty-two cents for each
one thousand dollars of property under
Atlantic County's present yaluation.If
they should cost round hundred thous
and dollars, the mreased tax, even if
all paid in one year, would be only if
ty-iive cents for each Thousand dollars
"a sum so trifling that no one would
ever ralize it if extended over term
OF years in the form OF 8 bonded debt.

Rather Romantic.

A bit of romance is waited back from
which will be Of some inter-
est to Salem people. We see by the

Eta Beamer, who sang in Aamold con-
cert given in this city last year, was
quietly married at McGregor, Iowa, the
however, being performed in
Prairie du CHEN, Wis, just across the
river. Her lover, j. II. Hanson, came to
McGregor on his return from the south,
to spend Sunday with his fiance. They
visited Pictured Rocks, on Sunday, and
went to Prairie du Chien, and
did not return until Monday morning, of
fering as their excuse the fact that the
pontoon bridge was replaced that day,
making it imppossihle for any one to re.
turn to this side Sunday afternoon or
night. They kept their secret until the
termination of Miss Beamer's contract
with Prof Aamold at Rnshford, and
when the last entertainment was over
lhaving given two at Rnshforsi) MIR.
Hanson being present. claimed his bride
and the secret was given to the public.
Mr. aud Mrs. Aamold left for their home
in Oregon and Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson for
theirs in North Dakota" Miss Beamer
is daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. III. B. amer,
Salem business people and prominent
members of the Baptist church. Miss
Beamer was graduate OF Willamette
OF Music, ana one OF Sa-
lem's most talented young u.usicians.-
