A well known farmer of Nutley town

two places while on his road home from
Webster Saturday evening. Did not

l want you Mr.. A. TO prove that
Mail Hammer has distributed cor
r%pspondence to any man in Raritan or
Lynn township. If you cannot you are
"a coward and a liar, but the people are
fully aware YOU Judge Others according
TO your own doings.

Supervisors, Chairman, Peder NJ. Pc der

that the outcome al the election will not
stand Tor INN ar nu INJURY To the other

the World, IL broken, but fortunately AS

PlumS and chetSe must be plentiful III
nurltan according TO the World cores
pendent ron that township. LII 10 very
evident that the above writer has had
too much plums aud cheese | ately aud
as IA result he is now suffering from a
bad attack oil the belly-lcfe. AS to the
political ring o which he refers it
stands greatly to the credit OF the
persons holding office in Raritan that
they have SO faithfully discharged their
duties that the voters would renomi-
nate them Tor another term. The tr nth
is that there vas once "A political ring
in Raritan which was headed by A. and
how much OF the taxpayer piuins and
cheese il swallowed nobody kno VS. but
the ringsters themselves; but it can be
safely asserted that their actions We're
such tina, they were excused from any
further service in the township offices.
Now A. seems 10 think IL IL time TO take
revenge on their SUCCESSORS ana there
fore he and his helpmate from lynn, a
former innate of the Yankton Insane
Asylum proclaimed "a meeting Tor March

NAIL HAMMER
As Ingrebet Nelson, of Nutley town
ship, was proceeding homeward Satur-
day evening and had reached a point
about 0 miles north of town, "a tug be-
came unfastened, as his team
descended a hill, which allowed
the wagon pole to drop down,
soaring the team into running away.
The wagon was turned over, throwing |
Nelson and "a companion out, breaking
Mr. Nelson's left leg in three places
assistance soon reached HIM and he was
conveyed back to town, where DIR. Pea
body set the fractured limb and he was
admitted TO st. Johns hospstal.
Chas. Ebert, of Morton township, is
busy these days in hauling out a $500
bill of lumber, from the st. Croix Lum-
Der Co, for the erection of what will be
n of the largest barns in his section of
the county. The dimensions of the
proposed building are 120x52 feet, TO be
fitted up with the latest improvements.
Mr.. Ebert is one of the most enthusias
tic patrons of the creamery and the
large barn in needed by reason of the
extensive scale in which he is engaged
i'm this industry. "Lrops or no crops, the
the creamery pays for my barn. he
cheerfully remarked, and he is a man
who knows what he is talking about.
Webster is already agitating the orga
nization of a ball team srd the citizens
are always ready to contribute literally
towards the maintenance of a nine.
Groton has as many base ball enthusiasts
as any town of its size In the northwest,
but they lack the necessary "~wherewith"
TO make it a bowling success. With a
little substansial backing a good battery |
could be procured ard the rest of the
material we have right here at home.
What's the matter with organizing "A
stock company, fence in the diamond
and have "A ball game or W In Sroton
this coming summer Groton lndepen-
dent.
Kate Hayes arrived in the city Fri
day to visit "A few weeks with her
