the good will and best wishes a

Many paper fails to cover
the local field successfully, not
on account Of a lack of news but
because it does not reach the
editor. OF course he must hunt
for it and if he does he wont get
it all. If you have an item
bring it in. If anything happens
of interest tell US about it, and we
will feel very grateful to you.
One Of the oldest married
couples, if not the oldest, in the
county are Mr.. and Mrs, Enoch
Holt Of Kings MIL. "Uncle
Enoch" is now seventy-fo
years old, while his wife has
reached the age Of seventy-five
years. They have eleven chill
dren, fifty grandchildren and
twenty great-grandchildren
These old people are said to be
still vigorous, considering their
age, and bid fair TO live years
yet.
About a month ago Mr..
Metcalf, first assistant in our
sckool, taken sample of his
pupils penmanship and offered a
prize to the one making the most
improvement in one months time.
Last Monday the judges who
were appointed in the contest,
decided that the most rapid i'm
provement had been made by
paper number 8, which proved
to be the work Of little Miss
Ruth Herrn, who received the
prize-a gold ring, Otto Tin
del's work ranked second, and
Stella Shows third.
"A fellow can give himself
away in many ways, One evil
donce of that fact was given by
enc of our most prominent young
men one day last week.
He, with a party Of friends
were discussing the money
establishments of the
community, when some one sug-
gested saw mills, and inquired Of
the crowd if the Bristow mill |
was running, This follow
promptly spoke up and said; |
Il don't know, but they have a
large lot of logs piled up, l saw
them this morning"
Knowing his business does not |
lie in that direction, his friends |
drew an idea that he had been to
the limit Of the three-milo law.
"A little incident happened
last week that we hope mono Of
our readers will find worthy Of
imitation. A gentleman, a per-
son Of tho masculine gender at
least, had been taking the paper
for some time. He had read it,
but had never paid us cont,
and without q doubt, never will.
Last week we received a postal
from him bearing the request to
stop his paper, and obligo. But
not a word was said about paw.
The RECORD is u business onter-
prise, ran on business principles,
and no act of congress has
placed ii on tho free list. So

Tho manner in which John Fucber, "A tailor

his death at o'clock Friday morning makes
his demise unique among extraordinary cases
of suicide, for which the eastern district has
been notorious this year. Eucher was found
dead, feet upward, in sauerkraut barrel
filed with water, in yard in the rear Of his
house. Eucher got up about a. m. TO take n
walk in the yard. as he had been suffering
from slight headache. His body was dis
covered about an hour afterward. When an
Eagle reporter visited the house yesterday
morning Eucher's body lay in caslyet in tho

OF the town" of Lincoln, New Jersey.
As our readers may recall that Is the
place that has recently Deon made famous
from end TO end OF the country because
its politics and government are con-
trolled by women. Lincoln has recently
been freely reported in the newspapers
and has attracted no end Of attention by
reason of the triumph Of women suiierhge
In the community, whore women not

the place that has become thus famous is

The real estate men are hustlers and
oyiGoutly resouroeiCl in adverti sing
schemes, and tho woman suffrage play
has certainly worked famously, though
under the state constitution such n situa-
ton as that reported is not legally pos
sible. The Lincoln real estate pushers
created their mako believe city and they
have been rewarded for their cleverness
by Thousands of dollars worth of free ad
vertising.
The author OF this scheme was elected
Mayor and three women were chosen tor
the council. Their sayings and doings are
well adyertised-all free OF chargs-and
rarely a week passes without the Mayor
batching a scheme or proposition Of some
kind to attract attention. The Council
meets regularly. and discusses abstract
questions of sewerage, paving and so
forth in the most serious manner-so it
Is great sport and profitable.

from tho Lincoln fellows. Where is the
