This sweetheart that l loYe so is lit

With the bluest eyes you ever saw and
fluffy golden hair;
Each morning as go to work she
comes out to the gate,
And there she'll stand for ever so long
and my appearance wait.

she don't object,
In fact her satisfaction from her eyes
seems to reflect
She says she doesn't love me when l
ask her, but l guesa
From looking in her bonnie eyes, the
no is meant for yes.

costly diamond rings,
Or bracelets or necklaces or such eX-

Just Il little box Of bony hons or y rib
bin for her hair,
And when she smiles her thanks I'd
kiss her if | only dare.
The thought has once or twice occur
ed, but no it cannot be,
That the presents is the reason that
she thinks SO much of me,
But the more think it over the idea
is a mistake,
And a bug-bear out of nothing I'm
endeavoring to make.
Our very marked Irritation has caused
no ill-timed talk,
The neighbors smile and nod at us as
going by they walk
We do n IT fear the gossips for its just

THAT'S THE TALK.


Mark Hanna Has the Right Sort of Ideas.
CANTON, Ohio, Feb. 23-Chairman M.
A. Hanna arrived in Canton this even
ing, and will remain with Major McKin-
ley till noon to morrow. Mr.. Hanna
was in excellent spirits, and talked
cheerfully about several matters of cur
rent interest in the world of politics. He
said frankly and genially hat the though
that he was going to Washington with a
seat in the Senate awaiting him gave him
much pleasure.
II am business man, said Mr..
Hanna, land / think | know what the
business and commercial interests of this
country desire and need. / expect to
take an active interest in tariff legislation
The first thing we want is revenue bill
that shall produce enough income to meet
current expenses. Tariff and revenue
will go hand in hand. think the MEM
bers of Congress pretty generally are of
the opinion that bill which shall pro-
duce adequate revenue shall be promptly
passed, and 1 think the disposition will
be to waste no time on the enactment of
such law. The country expects, needs
and demands it, and it is the duty of
Congress, as L look at it, to meet this de-
mand"

AT East Bridgeton.

Sunday was day of rejoicing with
East Bridgeton NJ. E. Church. Prepara-
tions had been made for thank Offering
day, and well did the people respond.
The pastor asked for one hundred dol
lars, and to the surprise of many nearly
one hundred and twenty dollars were
realized. The Rev. L. D. Stultz, Secre-
tary of the home department of the Sun
day School Association, of New Jersey,
spent the day with this church. and did
excellent work. His sermon ia the
morning was a powerful one, and will
not soon be forgotten. The singing was
one of the features of the programme.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman Sharp, Mrs.
Carrie Loper and Miss Allie Richard
gave their services during the day, and
assisted in the singing. The singing was
excellent and took hold of the heart more
than the head.
The conference year at this church will
close with all expenses paid, and good
start for the coming year.
The success of this church is wonder
full, and greater good is still to be accom-
pliShed.

CANNOT BUILD A PLANT.
The Supreme Court Knocks Out The City
Council of Millville.

The Supreme Court Knocks Out The City
Council of Millvile.
The following brief notice from the
Trenton True american is interesting,
especially to the people of Millville:
In the certiorari proceedings of
Richard L. Howell v. The City of Mill
vile ct ais, bringing up resolution
adopted by Common Council of that city,
the resolution is vacated and set aside.
This resolution instructed the Lamp
Committee to advertise for proposals for
erecting an electric light plant in the
city"
This simply means a complete knock
out for those Councilmen who so long
ago contended that Millville should
build it's own electric light plant. The
opposition TO this was finally centred in
a legal proceeding taken by Richard l.
Howell. who employed Walter H. Bacon,
OF this city, to prosecute the case. The
result is a complete victory for Mr..
Bacon's client, the Court holding that
there is no legislation which will permit
Millville to go into the electric lighting
business

The BOYS are HanpY.

Devoe, the weather sharp, predicts that
inauguration day, March 4th, will see
worse weather even than was exper-
fenced four years ago. He says that it
will be colder and that a blizzard is due
on March End, and heavy snow will fall
all over the country. 1t may be clear by
the 4th, but those who expect to go to
Washington must prepare to wade
through snowdrifts and face very cold
weather. The coming March, he says,
will be very cold, stormy month. All
this prediction tends to make the BOYS
who are going down, very happy, for De-
voc just hits the opposite kind of weather
for all his predictions.

THE WAR STILL ON.
Riparian Rights Owners Urging The Clos
ing of The Bay.


The war between the oystermen who
favor the closing of the Delaware Bay
for year and those who oppose it is still
waging, The riparian rights owners are
urging the members of the Legislature
from this county to have bill passed
closing up the bay; while the members
of the Delaware Bay and Maurice River
Cove Oyster Association are not in favor
of closing the bay, but are favorable to
the rough Gull law and shorter planting
season.
The war now on is only an outbreak of
the war that commenced three yeaas ago,
when the riparian rights owners appealed
to the officers of law to keep off all oyster
dredges from their covered grounds on
Fortescue Cove.
This was when the war commenced.
This year these twenty or more men who
have leased this ground have had bill
framed and it is now pending before the
Legislature for the closing of the bay If
this bill should become law it would
mean thousands of dollars in their pock-
cts, while all outsiders could sit back and
see their dredges rust for waut of use.
They could gather their oysters and mar
ket them from their own grounds. They
own them until their lease runs out.
Many persons think the State of New
Jersey erred in leasing these grounds to a
certain few oystermen to plant and pro-
pagate oysters on. These grounds off
Fortescue, where hundreds of acres are
leased, are among the most valuable
grounds in the bay. The famous Poplar
beds are among those claimed by
the riparian rights owners, who operate
them by virtue of a lease from the State
of New Jersey.
All other oystermen oppose the closing
of the bay and call for rough Gull law,
and they urge upon the members of the
Legislature that this is the way to protect
the young oysters. They also advise that
the planting season be shorter. With 3
rough Gull law and shorter season, the
young oyster could and would be pro-
tected.
The riparian rights owners, too, say
that there must be something done to
stop the slaughter upon the young oys-
ters, and lvise the closing of the bay for
one year as the only remedy in the
matter.
On the other hand the association claims
that this can be remedied just as well by
giving them rough Gull law and shorter
planting season. A law of this kind
| would suit many oystermen.

TAKES A VACATION.
Rev. Richard M. Toms Goes to Boston
For q Rest.

Kew. Richard M. Toms, the gentleman
who caused the West Jersey Presbytery
some uneasness through a missunder-
standing. closed a six weeks successful
revival in religious circles in Cedarville
Saturday night. Osborne Memorial
Church was crowded as it has been DUR
ing the revival inaugurated by Rev. Mr..
Toms.
He has labored SO hard with mis- flock
that he thought best to take much
needed rest due him after six weeks of
labor. The congregation want him to go
on, but thought best he should have two
| weeks of rest, when he will return and
finish his labors.
All during the exciting times pending
an investigation of his case by the West
Jersey Presbytery, meetings were held
iii Bateman's hall until he was vindi-
Gated by the Presbytery, when they were
resumed in the Osborne Memorial
Church. Crowds flocked to see and hear
him, and one of the greatest revivals ever
known in the quiet village of Cedarville
has taken place. About thirty or forty
have professed conversion, but have not.
as yet, associated themselves with any
church. The church is filled with men
and women who who will bear testimony
of Mr.. Toms good work.
The undenominationsl people of Cedar
vile gave Rev. Mr.. Toms surprise on
Saturday. Knowing of his departure for
Boston, they thought they would make
him present. He was brought up to
! Grosscup's and fitted out with snit of
clothes, overcoat, hat, shoes, etc., which
tends to show their appreciation of the
man and their faith in his good work al
ready accomplished in the village At
ter his two weeks vacation, Mr.. Toms
will return to Cedarville.

A Ferocious Bull Trampies Walter Garrison
in the Barnyard-Saved by Dog.
On Saturday last Walter Garrison, the
well known horseman living at Roads,
town, met with a seriovs accident, which
only by miracle did it not prove fatal.
Mr.. Garrison went to the barn to lead
the bull out the stable. As he was lead
ing the animal the ring in his nose
broke and in an instant the infuriated
animal rushed at Mr.. Garrison, knocking
him down. The bull then threw him
up against the barn and was rolling him
around pretty lively, when large shep-
herd dog came to his assistance and drove
the bull away.
Mr.. Garrison was able to get to the
house, and DIR. Sharp summoned. The
doctor bandaged him up. There were no
bones broken, but Mr.. Garrison was ter
ribly bruised, and it is feared he is in
ured internally.

years. This, he argued, was unfair.
