John H. Frye states that the report
concerning his marriage is untrue-that
he is not married and don't know when
he will be.
A severe strain has been put upon the
usually amicable relations between CAPT
tai and labor in this place, during the
last week. Capital says that at the low
price at which farm produce is selling it
can't afford to pay more than eight cents
per basket for having peas picked, al
though capital admits that it is worth ten
cents. Labor declares firmly and unani-
mously that it wont pick peas for less
thar ten cents, albeit it comedies that the
farmers can't afford to pay it: so, there
you are, at dead lock, as to speak.
Joel Chard, as the representative and
mouth piece of the capitalistic element,
talks of importing Italian pickers.
Dicky Hargus. representing labor,
threatens to organize a pea pickers union
that will make it hot for the pea growing
plutocracy-and so there you are again.
Trouble has been averted for this week
by a yield on the part of capital, and ten
cents remains the price; but we are on
the edge of a volcano that is liable to
break out at any moment and bring Joel
and Dicky with their supporters, face to
face on the great question of Labor VS..
Capital.

Summer school of M ethods.

The friends of progress in education
note with interest The advance which
Sunday-school teachers are making in
their line of work. The New Jersey
School of Primary Methods. which has
for three years past been held during
| July in Asbury Park, is about TO convene
for the fourth session. Last year two
hundred and sixty-two stu tents were
enrolled, from our own and several other
States.
The program includes, among numer-
GUS practical helps for Sunday-school
workers, a series of ten lectures on child
nature by Miss Margaret Cushman, a

Conferences will also be held on class
work for teachers of different grades.
Mrs. Skillman will illustrate lesson
teaching with the sand map, and Mrs.
| Barnes will conduct five conferences on
work in the class, the making of a pro.
gram, needful appliances &c.
One of h most useful as we'll as
popular exercises in former years has
been the model lessons. These will be a
prominent feature this season. Miss
Bertha Vella, Miss Newman, of the
| State Model School at Trenton, Mrs. 1.
H. Polhemus and Mrs. Hattie E. Foster
are the teachers. Miss Struble holds two
| classes daily in blackboard illustrate on,
and an address on teaching new hymns
will be given by Mrs. Emma johnson, of
New York City.
Mrs. johnson leads the singing of over
six hundred street children every day at
the five Points Mission and has for years
made the singing and speaking of chill
dren a study.
The School of Methods meets from
Monday to Saturday, July 5-10, in the
auditorium at Asbury Park, and board is
offered to students at So, 81 and $6 a
week. Some of the schools in South
Jersey, in acknowledgement of the faith
full services of it's primary teacher, pay the
expenses of the trip, knowing it is a good
investment.

The Woodstown-Vineland game at the
latter city last Saturday afternoon was
one of the best ever played there. 1t
lasted eleven innings, and the score stood
3 to 3 until the last inning, when the
Vineland club made five runs, thus max
ing the score s to 5 in their favor. The
Vineland club was greatly aided by an
exceedingly partial umpire, and we are
told that in several instances he deiiber-
ately turned his back on plays that
be might not give decisions against the
Vineland club. Taylor and Murray COM
posed the Woodstown battery and the
former pitched a fine game until the last
inning, in fact, the home club gave the
Vineland people the biggest surprise
party they've had for some time. One
of our citizens, who witnessed the game,
asserts that, with a fair umpire, the
score would have been 8 to 1 in favor OF
| Woodstown at the close of the ninth
inning.
VIM, Fl. Reeves took some booming
pigeons over to Vineland last Saturday
and kept Woodstown posted on the game
by that means. One of the "canary
birds'' made the trip in a little oveI
thirty minutes.
Mr.. Harry Chandler. one of Vineland's
most e~nterprising business men, fur
nished tickets of admission for nearly
two hundred boys at the game last Sat.
urday. Mr.. Chandler is a frequent visi-
tor to Woodstown, and is a great lover OF
base ball.
We understand that the Vineland mau.
ager tried to induce Taylor to join his
-. h,k uarru cauc Wnndofnwn II
good enough for him.
George Baynes rode over to Vineland
on his wheel on Saturday, making the
trip 10 1 hour and s minutes. Pretty
good time for a 90 mile spin.
The home club plays at Salem to
morrow afternoon. The game will, M
doubt, draw a large crowd.
There is not much danger of the Vine
land club losing many games with the
umpire they had on Saturday.
The following is an extract OF q lette
W ritten by a Vineland gentleman to ON
of our citizens: 81 take pleasure In com
~municating to you the fact that you,
bows are held in the highest estimation
here both as gentlemen and ball players
and it is an established fact that you,
team put up the best game that was eve
played in Vineland. 1t is 80 conceded b,
both patrons and players. I hav
CLEANED these facts from personal inter
views, and you can rest assured tina
when we come to Woodstown we sbal
bring gentlemen with us that will appre
ciate your ability as ball players an,
shall fully demonstrate our appreciation
of the same" The writer can assur
the club and all who may come that the,
will receive a hearty welcome when the,
come to Woodstown.

All are invited to attend the services

morning, afternoon and evening. Rev.
b. F. Sheppard will preach from the
subject, personal Responsibilities" in
the morning, and in the evening his sub
iect will be, "The History of Job, His
moral excellence and calamity"
While Rev. B. F. Sheppard was doing
some shopping in Woodstown Saturday
evening, he was unconsciously relieved Of
bis whip. Some one who probably wanted
it worse han the owner just removed it
from his wagon, and although they had
the use OF it on June Quarterly Sunday,
they have not been thankful enough as
yet to return it to its proper place.
Considering the condition of the
weather during the greater part of the
season the crops are looking very we'll,
but we believe that Warren Layton, near
here, who lies on one of the Gloucester
County farms, has the best tomato
patch. The writer has reason to believe
this, as she was presented with a number
of large and beautiful ripe tomatoes this
week, which he picked from his field on
Monday, June 14th. Old time farming
may agree with sweet potatoes, but We
have heard of no one who can compete
with Mr.. Layton on the tomato line.
