bly, and Senate, and was Assistant AT
torney General under President Har-
rison, resigning during the second Cleve-
LAM administration. despite the protests
of the Washington officials, who regarded
him highly. Ia 1896 he was appointed
Judge of the Court of Errors and Appeals
and has done much of the work of that
court, his opinions and counsel always
being given great consideration.
Judge Nixon, as Circuit Court official1
has before him term of seven years,
with salary of $500 annually.
For many, many years Judge Nixon
has been warm friend of the PIONEER,
and this paper earnestly and sincerely
extends its congratulations, not only to
the esteemed and honored Judge, hut to
the bar of the State, who will practice be-
fore him. The appointment is one of the
most worthy made by Governor Voor-
hees during his administration.

Base BAH League.

1t looks very much as if South Jersey
would have plenty of base ball excite
ment next slmmer. The South Jersey
towns have the fever proper before Spring
opens, and all the towns from Glassboro
down, want to be represented. Several
meetings have been held lately, for the
purpose of pushing forward the enter
prise. Manager Hackett, of Millville, is
promoting the organization with much
energy. He was in Bridgeton night be-
fore last, and there will be a meeting in
Mlllville very soon for organization. 1t
is proposed to have home teams, with the
privilege of having two professional
players only. on each club. This will
make the contests more interesting from
local standpoint. Bridgeton should be
able to present a good team, with good
outside battery.
