Children's Day in the III. E. church last
Sunday evening brought out a crowded
audience ss is invariably the case when the
little ones are to do the entertaining, which
they did well on this occasion, in recita-
lions and in songs of praise. The church
was very attractive In its dainty floral
decorations, and much credit is due the
teachers of the Sunday school for their
efforts in making the occasion a success.
Edward Burning, of Mullica Hill, has
bought out the butcher business from
Harry Murphy. Mr.. Murphy made his
last trip on Tuesday.
Mrs Nelson Smith and daughter visited
Trenton last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Saulter and son, of
Phila., were guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos
Stratton on Sunday.
Mrs. Wilson, widow of the late George
Wilson, of Mt Royal, moved to Mantua on
Saturday.
Memorial Day was observed in quiet
appropriate manner. Flags and bunting
adorned number of dwellings. Flowers
were borne by loving hands to the ceme-
teries from early morn till night.
All the property belonging to the Clarks-
boro syndicate was sold last Saturday.
The average price of lots was about fifty
dollars; the double house sold for $500.
Mrs. William Tsggart and son returned
from Washington on Saturday.
Last week Rev. j. Y Burk sent away
twenty-five dollars, the amount of the col
lection taken in st. Peters church, to aid
the sufferers in famine-stric1sa India.
Mrs. Walter Higgins, of Phila, and Mrs
Carleton Higgins. of Long Island, visited

The W. G. T. U. observed Flower Mis-
sion day on Friday afternoon. A bouquet
of roses for the occasion was afterward sent
to a member who has recently passed
through deep sorrow. A paper on Flower
Mission work was compiled and read by
Mary Owen; it stated that there is no de-
partment of work which receives greater
blessing than this. A pretty little poem,
euLlUl6u lOWtI, Hdh Icdu DJ k1OLtt6 HALL
burton. "A Flower Mission" was read by
Martha Green, a charm ing story of cheer
and comfort brought about by bouquet
of flowers. A beautiful recitation, Flow
ers," by H. W. LoDgfellOw, was given by
E c. D1ell. A Iesfet, entitled "The Sun
day newspaper" was read by Ellen B.
Haines, it indicated the Sunday newspaper
as foe to the Sabbath, the church, the
home and country. It fills the mind with
those things which should be shut out in
one day in seven and is a stepping stone to
greater dissertation. Large dailies have
given practical proof that the Monday
Issue need not break the Sabbath in it's
preparation. Twenty five years ago Horace
Greeley wrote. "six daily papers can be
prepared in six days without infringing
on the working mans lawful day of rest,
bat seven papers week require seven days
work" Report was given of the County
Convention held at Bridgeport. A motion
song given by Minnie Halliburton as clos
ing exercise was enjoyed by all.

with a smiling cOuntenance and a very
large order.
Much smitten with the pretty book
agent, but too baShful to do his own
counting, Brown depUtized an old aSso-
ciate of hiS-a brother farmer-to hunt
up Flora and sound her upon the mat
rimonial question. Flora, when she
heard of Browns wealth, coyly admit
ted that she was a widow with four
children This fact, however, did not
deter Milan Brown, for was he not a
widower with three grown children?
And so they were married
After Miss DOag became Browns
housekeeper everything went along
peaceably in his intention of leaving
the farm and settling down in the VII
lage of Aillerton. From his son George,
a prosperous business man of the vii
/ lage, he six or seven years ago pur-
chased comfortable house in Park
avenue.
But the unwearying attention be-
slowed upon Brown in the last three or
four years of his life broke down every
barrier of resentment that had arisen
between his children and Miss Doag.
Their relations became friendly, and
satisfaction was generally expressed
that the elder Brown had made such
provisions for his faithful housekeeper.
Tuesday morning a week ago Milan
Brown died Several days later Miss
Doag produced a tin dispatch box in
which Milan Brown had been wont to
keep his private papers, unlocked it.
and the family sat down to listen
The lawyer slowly read the terms of
the will bequeathing Miss DOag one
fourth of the estate and the Park ave
nue. house and ending by appointing her
administrators.

Browns legacy. MinerIon residents re-
call the day more than twelve years
ago when Anna first came here and
went to work in the chief industrial es-
Establishment of the village-the shirt
factory.
She was then a bright, winsOme girl,
hardly more than 20 years old, tall and
plump, with raven black hair and bon
ny black eyes. Her good looks attract
ed general attention and she had many
admirers But she was auStere of man.
ner and retiring in disposition She
had been employed at the shirt factory
only a short time when her qualifica-
lions as a housekeeper were brought to
the attention of old Milan Brown. He
was then 73 years old and had grown
tired and lonesome at his big farm
house Negotiations were opened that
resulted in Miss DOag going to Brown s
house. and there settling down as his
housekeeper
OF course, people talked, but old Mi
Ian Brown ignored these comments, and
Miss Doag was smilingly Indifferent.
Browns immediate family, consisting
of two grown sons and a married
daughter, interposed no objection. They
recalled the fact that opposition to his
second marriage had been sternly re-
buked and that thereafter none of them
had dared to visit him unless they were
invited
This second marriage was a strange
one. One day early in the SOS a young
book agent-F'lora Burroughs-came to
M1llertOn and in the pursuit of her call

Miss Doag rose with flushed face and

voice, she said:

Mr.. McKinley's friends profess to
believe that it is only a jest that effort
should be made TO provide subsistence
with liberty for 5O.O0o 00U Americans.
The irrigable public land amounts to
-, goo, 900 acres of as fertile soil as lies
throughout the great west, which has
become a granary of the world. To
cultivate this is, according to MIR. Nc
Kinley'S campaign management,
thing TO be made fun of.
Just a year ago the national irriga-
tor, congress met in Montana and
recommended that public grazing lands
be let at a nominal rental in limited
areas to settlers on adjacent lands. the
revenue derived to go TO the states and
territories concerned to me used for ir-
rigation. Construction of government
reservoirs for water storage was
recommended, together with harmOni-
Gus legislation on the subject by the
states and territories. Preservation Of
forest lands was urged in the interest
of lumber and irrigation.
What Utah has accomplished under
irrigation is no jest Irrigation in Lou
isiana and Texas is not a joke. The
geological survey has devoted much
time and considerable literature to
the subject of irrigation, not suspect
