The game of base ball at the fair ground,
next Saturday, will be with the old time
favorites, the Clermont, of Philadelphia.
This is an aggregation of: first class ball
players, who always give us a good ex-
hibition.
The attendance at the base ball game
last Saturday was on par with that of
last year. 1t is very discouraging to the
management of the Athletic Association,
after getting strong team and doing its
best to have good games, to play to empty
benches and end in debt $15 or $50 a
game.
The game of base ball at the fair ground,
last Saturday, was what is popularity
known as comedy of errors" Both
teams seemed badly ratified at times. The
visitors scored five runs in the first inning,
which was hard lead for the locals to
overcome. By good work for seven inn
ings Mount Holly forged ahead, and
everybody expected that Hartville was
done for But game of ball is never
over until the last man is out. as was in
stanced in this case, for the visitors scored
three runs in the ninth, after two men had
been retired. The game ended 8 to in
favor of Hartville. The score follows:

that Mr.. Page had purchased property
and had expended some money in
putting it in shape. This had led to the
idea that some promise had been given
that license would be granted. Rumors
of this nature had been started and had
been freely circulated, the two Kimbles
apparently being very active in this di-
rection. 1t seemed hard to discover who
originally started the rumor If the
Judge had discovered the author some
body would have suffered. Stories about
improperly influenced" bought up,
and the like in connection with public
officials, are too recklessly started and it is
time there is a stop put to it.
This lecture was not relished by those
to whom it was directed and all the men
insisted upon making an explanation.
Mr. Styer made quite speech in which
he told the Court why license should not
be granted for hotel at Jacksonville
Judge Gaskill said he had thoroughly
Investigated that point, and whatever his
decision might be he wished it understood
that he was acting in conscientious man
ner, and without fear or favor. In all his
judicial acts he has been especially partic-
ular in considering applications for license
On Saturday Judge Gaskill granted
license to Lee A. Stroud to keep hotel at
Jacksonville.

on their organization in 1873 and gave
mortgages to the trustees named as Sc

due in 1888. 1t is now the intention Of
the petitioners to foreclose on the mortga

taken against the trustees; and there being
none the court was asked to appoint in
such capacity, John P. Hutchinson, law

The Sugar Beet,

MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., MAY 20, 1898
To the Farmers Of Burlington County,
We request you to plant some suga
beet seed for experimental purposes
which we hope you will cultivate accord
ing to directions, in order that we may
be able to obtain samples from you t.
send to the Department of Agriculture al
Washington to have their sugar contents
tested The Committee on Sugar Beet
Culture appointed by the County Board
of Agriculture, believe that the soils OF
Burlington county are able to raise beets
containing a high content of sugar. If
this fact is well established by raising
| beets in different parts of the county and
having them tested, there will be nc
trouble in persuading cipital to locate q
million dollar plant for manufacturing
beet sugar in some central portion of oul
county. Further, if this fact be estab
lished, there will be no trouble in securing
bounty from the State of one dollar per
ton.
The number of tons of beets that car
probably be raised will be about fifteen
tons per acre. These at $500 per tor
would amount to about $500 per acre.
The cost of raising the same will not be
much, if any, greater than growing corn
the average yield of which for the United
States for ten years has been twenty -four
bushels per acre; the average value fol-
the same time has been about % cents pei
bushel, making the total about $500 pei
acre. The average yield of corn in New
Jersey during the last year was 319 bush
els per acre; the average price realized
was 80 cents, which makes the average
value per acre, $11.97. There are so many
thousands of acres now devoted to the
growing of corn which scarcely pays the
cost of raising, that you can readily see
it would be very much more profitable if
a large portion of these acres could be de.
voted to the cultivation of the sugar beet.
Another argument in favor of growing
beets is, that if you cannot utilize them
for growing sugar, they make very val
liable cattle food Every farmer engaged
in the dairy business should each wear
raise a considerable quantity of them
We hope you will contribute your share
by devoting a small portion of your acre
age to the development of this industry
in order that increased value may be Civ
en- to our farms and the wealth of the ma
ton increased by the manufacture of our
own sugar.
By doing this, we shall save to our
country 1926, 100000 in gold, which is
being annually paid to foreign countries
for the sugar we consume.
Truly yours,
Burlington Co Beet Sugar Committee.
