Katy dds are heard. So look out
for frost in six weeks.
Miss Josie North, of Brooklyn, N.
Y, is visiting r. d. Sayre and wife.
George Slawson did fine lob
painting the residence of Geo. Hor-
ton.
The berry crop must be up to the
avearge judging by the quality and
quantity brought in town daily.
Our local fishermen have not met
with very good success of late. A
change of bait might make a differ
ence.
The lower end of the glen appears
rather lively and some evenings
rather noisy. And it is not boys or
men who make all thenoise either.
The Editor of the PRESS should
not object to group of pretty girls
girls obstructing the door Of the Post
Office. He should wait until they
had their gossips out.
The Riverside House over in Mon
tague as usual is filed with summer
guests. The Bellevue has several,
but none are registered at the SPRING
dale Farm House.
Rev. H. f. Atwood, of Dingmans,
preached to a large congregation in
the NJ. f. church Sunday morning.
He took for his text: 'Iet not your
heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid"
Who will occupy Pike countys
chair in the Hall of the Legislature
at Harrisburg next winter? is a con-
nundrum which puzzles the brain of
more then one citizen of this county
at present.
The Rock Spring Creamery, of
Montague, is getting a reputation for
its product. Moses Devore, the lead
ing ice cream man of Newton, gets
his cream from there, and he says
it is the best he ever used.
Miss Louisa Young, of Montague,
who successfully taught the Union
school, in Digman township, two
years ago, and last year school No. 1,
in Montague, has been engaged by
the B. of E., of Vernon, Sussex Co.,
at salary of $3.50 per month.
The Montague correspondent of the
Sussex Register in giving the names
of the proposed members of the
, Lightning Baseball Club, 1 think
omitted several Dames which should
have been added to the list. There
is Dan, a John and another George
J who should be members.
1t appears that some fishermen are
unfortunate enough to sometimes
catch black bass less then nine in
ches long, and the questio n confronts
! them: What shall do with it? If
! returned to the water the fish dies, if
| keep it and am found out then there
/ is trouble. 1 believe the law says:
That it shall be unlawful for any per-
son or persons at any time to kill,
sell, expose for sale or have in pos
session any black bass measuring less
5 than nine inches in length, or any
) trout measuring less then six inches
: in length.
? So the poor fisherman is better be-
tween the devil and the deep sea.
Primary election is near, There
appears to be fun between the two
candidates for representative. Cir
culars sent out by one candidate at
tacking the other in any way o
rule do not bring the desired result,
but work the other way. History
< shows that,
, Chief of Police Ernest Wood has
painted and put up a large sign at
> the Grand View House.
! Andrew Yetter, of Blalrstown
. called here Monday. Andre W hopes
for the early completion of the new
. bridge at Dingmans.
e The entertainment at the M. E.
church Tuesday evening was we'll
attended. The selections rendered
by the singing school showed that
/ the class is progressing. The views
5 presented by Mr.. Carpenter were
very interesting.
b New Jersey is getting a reputa-
v tion. 1t appear to be the home of
} the trusts, and now it seems it is the
= home of the Anarchist. The slayer
l. of the king of Italy left Paterson in
May. He did his job, but it isn't
n likely he will come over here again.
It The crop of rattlesnakes appears
=, good, judging by the number OF
skins shown ON our streets.
Is the lamp on the corner of Mott
s. street marked9 1t gets hit pretty
N often.
