men are SO foreetful Of law as to set
fyke, or even marry a stepdaughter. Such
practices are 70 be condemned by good
citizens
Our roads were alive with wheelmcn ON
Decoration Day, and many while execrat-
ing onr roads, highly commendei those of
Pike and also those Of Morris and Essex
counties
have my attention called TO the fact
that the New York papers publish lists Of
changes in post offices, and that in some
the changes are noted without comment
In others, it says resigned, and the bal
ance are specified as removals The ma
tural suppositlon is, that the removals are
for cause if so there must be other offices
thun those we know Of, that are open to
just criticism.
Geo Raymond, general agent Of the
Now York Mutual Life in New Jersey was
up at the club house on Saturday last.
Many prominent men of Morristown, and
New York, either as members, or guests
of the Flat Brook Club have been at the
Club House during May, and if the
weather proves suitable many more are
expected in June.
McC is certainly getting bilious again or
to be more precise, is little more bilious
than usual We have grave fears that
this condition will become chronic. Two or
three Podophyllin pills daily will do much
TO restore his equilibrium until It gets
warm enough to play poker in the brush
Sundays when I am sure our solicitude
for his health may be abated. Such things
as storing beer on Saturday for Sunday
use are preiudicial to health and should be
avoided as beer acts badly on the kidneys
A cheerful condition of mind is enjoined
and much care to maintain an even tenn
perature Of the blood by keeping the pores
open is very essential to one in SO critical q
condition. With these few hints we hope
he may be able to look more smiling, and
as if life contained something yet worth
living for.
The Union picnic in A. S. Stolls grove
last Thursday was an unqualified success.
Miss Annie Cole with her school from
Layton, Miss Emma Bunnen with her
lambs from Bevans and Fletcher Gariss
with his flock from Flatbrookville, put in
their appearance promptly along with
number Of the parents who entered into
the pleasures of the day with great zest.
The teachers had provided an ample supply
of ice cream for ALL and pleasing feature
Of the occasion was the presentation of a
beautiful rocking chair to Miss Annie Cole
by the patrons of her school There was
a small exhibit of narrow exclusiveness
that included the fat womans side show
and excited II momentary feeling of dis
gust for its authors, but it only slightly
marred the pleasures of day that was
otherwise filled with rest and rare enjoy
ment.
Fish Wardens Hendershot and Hill on
Thursday arrested Cass Howell for Illegal
fishing with set hook or lines in the Big
Flat Brook. He was brought before Fs.
quire Warner and pleading guilty was
fined. There has been too much poaohing
by shiftless Irresponsible persons and it is
high time that stringent measures are
taken to break it up.
Some of our Juvenile hoodluns perhaps
abetted by those who re older and should
know better have for some time been
making life troubled dream for some OF
our quiet citizens by indecent antics and
annoyances from the roadway, thus MAX
ing themselves public nuisance generally
Saturday last the parents received notices
from lawyer that these prosecutions
must cease or arrests would follow. Now
If the parents wish, the trouble can be
stopped.
WE'D HIS MOTHER-IN-LAw.
George 2, Wright harness maker, of
Fttchburg, Mass, has had matrimonial
experiences which are somewhat peculiar
Several years ago he married Miss Towne
at New Ipswich, n. II. Soon after Wright
secured divorce and married his former
wife's mother, Mrs. Lizzie A. Towne In
November 1894 they separated and Wright
discovered that according to the laws of
New Hampshire he had never been legally
married to Mrs Towne He petitioned
the court to annul his marriage, and this
has just been granted.-Wantage Record
er.
Mr.. Wright seems to have muddled his
matrimo NAL ventures by not starting the
business wright He should have done
like prominent citizen of our town;
married the mother first and the daughter
last; then he could probably have kept out
of the courts as such people are usually
anxious to do. H.
