dented piece of feminine loneliness.
Two years ago our fishermen made big
money catching carp, but last winter they
were scarce article hereabouts, evidently
having been caught ont. When the fish
bring such big prices in the city markets
it is strange to read that farmers on the
border line between New York and New
Jersey have been catching them by the
hundreds with pitchforks and using them
to fertilize their lands. The streams up
there were stocked about ten years ago.
The heavy rains of the last three weeks
caused the streams to overflow their banks
and the carp were left in pools after waters
receded. The farmers speared the fish
with their forks and gathered wagon loads
of them and will spread them broadcast
over their fields.
William Davis, a youth who came from
Atlantic City to Pitman Grove last Sstur-
day was drowned in Lake Alcyon Sunday
afternoon. With his friend Matthew
Sprague he donned bathing suit and
being strong swimmer swan across the
pond which is about $50 yards WIDE
Sprague was unable to swim and kept in
shallow water. When about midstream on
his return, Davis called for help, but before
boats reached him he sank. His body was
soon recovered but life was extinct. Coro-
ner Shreve held an inquest on Monday.
DIR. q. w. Rogers testified to examining the
body few minutes after it was taken from
the water and discovered no evidence of
drowning, but little water being found in
his lungs In his opinion death was due
to heart disease and verdict was rendered
in accordance with the facts.

Thou surely hast escaped world Of sin,
Sure world of trouble We all are in !;

An empty seat too will be in that pew;
Thy lessons done. thy tasks are DER,
Farewell, we'll meet upon that shore.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu

famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is moth

Mr.. EDITOR: Seeing an article in your
paper in regard to how good order is
preserved at Washington Park, viz: by
using a whipping post on crooks" and
running disorderly persons out of the
Park instead of filling our Jail with
offenders of the law in minor cases, which
only adds to the bank account of the
committing magistrates and officers MAX
ing the arrests and the tax payeas footing
the bills, although such proceedings are
denied by the officials; think it is good
interpretation of the law and it certainly
has good results, for l do not think that
there is park in the United States where
liquor is sold that you see as good order al
You do at Washington Park, which is the
testimony of hundreds of its patrons

that has cost the county cent, owing t.
