Scott, we copy the followingAparagraph
from the Atlantic City Press u July 8.
"Assemblyman Jackson was another
of the older members to respond. He
had been a member for twelve years,
and every member since his incumbency
is still alive. He referred to an incident
occurring while considering the awarding
of bridge contract. The remark was
made at the time that not one member
of the Board had ever made cent out
of awarding contracts. The contractor
present told them that their names
should be printed and sent broadcast
over thecountry. created laughter, "

SCULLVILLE.

John Henry Smith is still on the sick
list.
1t is said that one of our young men
talks of getting tandem for him and
his lady-so mote it B.
Isaac H. Mcdowell wife and children
are spending the summer with their
father and mother the Rev. l. Mcdowell
pastor of Palestine church.
Abel Smith thrashed out over q hun
dred baskets of his peas last week to
save the seed. He said he could not
find any market for them at Atlantic
City.
Mark Randolph lost his little boy
last week. 1t was buried on Saturday
morning last at the Asbury yard. The
sermon was preached by the Rev. l.
Mcdowell assisted by the Rev. N. Wick
ward and the Rev. Mr.. Howell.
There will be supper in English's g
Grove, on July 29th, where refreshments
will be sold at moderate rates. The
patrons will be entertained by some of
our best local talent. Wheels will be
taken care of for q small consideration.
The proceeds are for the benefit of Az
bury Sunday School.
The "try" Band had q festival last
week and they ought to have made a good
bit of money judging by the number of
people that attended it, but there were
so many there who had not the money
to spend. So much for the "good times
that was promised us last fall.
Lewis Smith left his home well on
Monday morning last for Linwood.
After receiving his goods at tbe station
he left for his home as he had so many
times before. Little did the poor man
think that was to be his last trip to the
station. Lewis was man of genial
disposition kind to every body, and few are
the men of this place that will be missed
as he will. He was a good blacksmith
as well as good wheelright in and fact
he was good all around mechanic. He
will be missed outside as well as inside
of his little home. Pence to his ashes
1t seems or at least it looks that way,
that the editor of the Atlantic City
Times last week cast reflection on the
farmers of this part of Egg Harbor
township by the remark he made in his
editorial. He says the farmers of the
river don't raise enough produce to
meet the demands of the People of At
lantic City. If he did but know there
is no market at Atlantic City for our
farmers produce. The reason is just
this. We raise the stuff haul it to At
lantic City, only to find that the store
keepers have shipped the same kind of
produce from Philadelphia or that they
have about all they need, but if we
will sell at the store keepers prices they
might take part of the load. So you
see it is not the farmers but the store
keeper who sets the prices, and the
prices are so low that the farmer can't
raise his produce, haul it to Atlantic
City, pay toll, pay for his fertilizers,
pay his farm hands and get out square
at the end of the year. 1t looks like a
combine" of Atlantic City store keepers
against the Atlantic County farmers.

Literary and MusiciaI.

The date of the entertainment to be
given by Miss Halbert, assisted by the
Presbyterian choir and other local
talent, has been fixed for Friday even
ing July 30th. The members of the
church are preparing an excellent pro-
gramme and the event promises to be a
literary and musical treat. The tickets
will be for sale this week at 25 cents
each and may be had from Miss Halbert
or from almost any of the ladies con-
nected with the church. 1t is hoped the
church will be filled. The Presbyter
ians have reputation for giving very
fine entertainments and the coming
event will doubtless be fully equal if it
does not excel it's predecessors.
