wedding Anniversary,

The 3rd anniversary of the marriage
of Mr.. A. q. Krause and wife occurred at
the st. Elmo Hotel 317 Arch street,
Philadelphia, of which he is proprietor,
on Monday night last. Nearly one
hundred guests were present, among
whom were ex-senator Newell and fam
lily from Pleasantyille, and Mrs. G. III.
Jenness.
The baBqueters sat down shortly after
Z O'Clock. The dining room which was
beautifully decorated with palms, roses,
and myrtle etc. was filled and emptied
and partially filled again. A canary
bird whislted Yankee Doodle in a high
key and the orchestra played and
speeches postprandial were then in
order. Publisher Huston was master of
ceremonies. He called out ex-senator
Newell who in happy vein congratulate
ed the bride and groom and called at
tention to the broad smile which de-
corated the whiskers of the host. The
ex-senator was cheered and then the
proprietor Mr.. Krause responded and
Rev. kilbourn was called upon to
deliver the historical address of the
occasion. This was followed by Messrs.
Rohbach, Stewart, Park, DR.. Wolfe,
Yeaser, and other permanent or tenn
tOrary guests. The entertainment as q
whole was great success. Some of the
guests acted upon the suggestion of the
host and offered incense to Terpsichore.
These gatherings are looked forward to,
and backward to, by the friends of the
hostelry in Penna. and New Jersey as
enjoyable occasions, in fact red-letter
days in the history Of their sojourn on
this mundane sphere. The Pleasantville

AFine Piece OF work.

III. Kirscht, our popular confec-
tioner, has just completed a nice piece
of work for the holidays which
greatly amuse the children as well
as the grown people. It represents a
scene in the mountains, moving
trains pass through village noun
banks; waterfalls, water-wheel, and
mill-pond, give it a fine effect.
Over four hundred miniature trees
and over one hundred small houses
and buildings are scattered through
villages and mountain-sides, all of
which were cut out by Mr.. Kirscht
with a pen knife. A visit to his store
will be of interest to all.

Mr.. George Hayday, of Atlantic City,
has just had erected to the graves of his
father and mother at Pleasantville
Cemetery, the most elaborate and mas
sive monument in Atlantic County. 1t
weighs eighteen tons and stands sixteen
feet. The bases are of rustic design and
contrasts beautifully with the highly
polished die. "Hayday" is cut across
the face of the top base in large rustic
letters, and the two inscriptions on the
front of the die in neat form. Thestatue
is beautiful piece of relief work, repre-
senting memory. 1t is life size and
stands beside rustic tree at the base of
which is the anchor and cross entwined
with ivy. The design is original with
Mr.. Hayday and reflects great credit on
him as an artist. The contract was
awarded to D. J. Hammell and all the
work is carefully and most beautifully
cut throughout.

1t Should Read History.

The Camden Telegram, which is
chiefly distinguished for what it
don't know, indulges in some coarse
abuse OF The PLEAsANTvILLE PRESS,
because we stand upon the ground
always occupied, until very recently,
by all the great Republican leaders
upon the silver question. The Tele-
gram should devote a part of it's
time in reading Blaine's Twenty
years in Congress" and then con-
tinue with course OF study upon
the speeches of Garfield, Mckinley,
Thomas B. Reed, Senator Chandler
and scores of others who are the
leading statemen in the Republican
party. A course of such reading,
sandwiched in between a few facts,
would, in due time, enable the Tele-
gram to appear less ridiculous, and
make stronger argument than it
does by calling people liars.

A Fraternal Call.

Oa Wednesday of last week the Press
received pleasant call from Mr.. Harry
Jewett, one of the night editors of the
Phila. Inquirer, and brother of pastor
F. L. Jewett, of Salem Church. Mr..
Jewett formerly worked at the printers
trade on the Mays Landing Record, the
Hammonton Times and other New Jer-
sey papers previous to his seven years
service on the Inquirer staff. He thinks
the Pleasantville Press has a fine office
and one much better than the average OF
country newspapers. Of course he
realizes how barren this world would be
without our valuable publication.

There were two bad cutting affrays on
Sunday night, among the cOlOred pOpu-
latiop, razors being the weapon employ
ed to carve each other up. "Mal'
Adams was dangerously wounded by a
barber known as Washington Offiey,
and Mary Allen dangerously cut by
Perry Jenkins. A game OF cards is said
to have led to the first assault, and
jealousy the second one. Both of the
sss atlantis are in Jail.
A few days ago Charlie Taylor, better
known as "Reddy," captured what he
terms "great bargain" in horse hide
as it could hardly be called as flesh. 1t
is well known to his most intimate
friends that "Reddy" is little "off' in
the upper story on the horse family.
For several weeks he has searched the
island to find something suitable to his
fancy, and succeeded as aforesaid in
stumbling over a frame of what was
once supposed to be fourlegged animal
of some kind, so he called it horse. He
inquired at once of the soap manufac-
turers what it would cost to become
proprietor of q creature that was his
whole aim in life to possess. After
several chickering's they mutually agreed
upon the enormous price of one hundred
and seventeen cents, The first thing to
be done now was to generate life enough
in the "critter" to get it home, so few
Thousand volts of electricity was ap-
piled with great success, but reaction
soon set in and severe attack of collie
followed. Charlie not being equal to
the occasion grabbed up colored fellow
passing by put him on the horse and run
the poor thing from one end of the island
to the other and now Charles is first
class jockey.

SOMERS POINT.


Philadelphia last week.
A few nights ago a trio of our young
men concluded TO have quiet little trip,
all to themselves. So they made appli-
cation to spiritual medium in town for
sitting" where they could communi-
cate with "spirits from the Vastly deep"
and see what the future had in store for
them. At the appointed hour How
ard. Theodore and james put in, an sp-
pearance. Theodore and James had
never attended spiritual seance before
and they were naturally little
bit timid; but Howard had "been there"
before, and was not at all afraid of the
"spoOks' of either world. In spite of
their disadvantage however he was the
first to wilt when the spirit ''iDfuence"
got control of the medium and began to
tell him some awful things. 1t was
evident that the ''spirit' was a bad one
and he would have been roughly hand
led but for the assistance of his friends.
As final manifestation of supernatural
intelligence he was directed to remove
his coat and bare his right arm. He
obeyed the command when 10, and be-
hold there appeared in blood red let
ters upon the fesh-"The ePLEAsANTvILLE
PRESS is onto your little game, and
will give it dead away next week. +"
Howard stared in blank amazement for
a moment and then rushed from the
house at brakeman's gait when q
train is length ahead of him. Theo-
dore is making good progress in estab-
fishing celestial communication, and
James is studying the occult sciences
with view of ascertaining whether the
Angels from Angelville wear bloomers.
And thus ended the great private seance.

Corn, shorts and skim milk make q
combination that will produce a high
grade of pork. Wheat may replace the
shorts. These foods assist in producing
flesh so rapidly as to enable the feeder
to dispose of his pigs to advantage
when young, yet of good weight.
For reliability and consistency of
bloom nothing can beat the peony,
perennial phioXes in different colors,
the Siberian and Iceland peoples, flu
schias, hollyhOcks, foXgIoyes, dianthus
and other old-time occupants of the
garden. Any gaps that occur during
the summer can always be flied up
with such ANIMALS as zinnias. French or
African marigolds, alyssum, mignon-
cite, portulaca and asters.
There is nothing better TO make
young pigs grow than a patch Of peas.
into which they may be turned an hour
or so every day until the peas become
so scarce that all day Is required to sat
isfy them. They furnish the same kind
Of nutrition that milk does. and at q
much cheaper rate. When thus fed
their frames viii grow rapidly, and
they can be given corn feed later 10 the
season without the injury that comes
to hogs summered on grass and clover
and suddenly changed TO corn.
The fact that the country Is short on
swine and long on corn renders II es-
pecially desirable this year that grow
ers should feed aud care for the pigs In
a way that will develop them rapidly
and perfectly. The tendency Is 10 feed
the growing pigs too much corn. Some
corn Is all right. but the ration should
contain some more heterogeneous food To
give good development % bone aud
muscle; then when sou come Co fatten
on corn you will have something TO
build on.-Rural World.
