Justice Blanchard ReappOintedsI
Times Democrat.
II is gratifying to learn that Cows
Foster has appointed Justice New
ton c. Blanchard to succeed him
self on the Supreme Bench. tor the
full term Of twelve years. The
houor is entirely deserved, from
every point of view. Mr.. Blanchard
has done excellent service, in both
the legislative and the judicial de-
partments OF the government AS
a member of the Federal House of
Representatives, and afterwards as
a Senator, hegave the most careful
! attention to the interest of his con-
stituents. While the Times Demo
Graf felt called upon to differ with
Mr.. Blanchard on certain questions
of public policy, there was never
the slightest doubt of his intelli-
gence and high mindedness.
When Mr.. Blanchard was orr
ginally appointed to be justice OF
the Supreme Court, there was some
apprehension, in certain quarters,
lest habits of thought proper to
legislative halls should impair the
usefulness. of the judge. In the
actual events matters have turned
out just the other way, for Mr.. Jus.
tice Blanchard's judgments have
been SO full of sound learning and
masterful common sense as to win
golden opinions from members OF
lie at large. The appointment is
thus satisfactory in every respec,
and will tend to strengthen the
States highest tribunal in the pop.
ular esteem.

a Magnificent Hotel in the south.

Among the many Northern pep
pie making investments in the South
is a prominent hotel man of New
York, Mr.. Charles st. John, who is
owner of the High Point Inn Of Port
Jervis, N. ", and owns the best con
Quoted hotel i'm the Southern States.
The Piney Woods Inn. Is located at
Southern Pines, N. G., and is fitted
up with every modern convenience.
1t is built in the centre Of fifty acre
park of pines, and it is surprising
how reasonable are the rates of board.
The best accommodation, including pri-
vate bath rooms, is much less than
what is charged by the maj ority Of
hotels that furnish much less accom-
mediation, and this speaks well for
Yankee business ability and pluck.
Southern Pines is located on the Sea-
board Air Line, which has its head
quarters at 81 Broadway New York.
The Old Dominion Steamship Co., is
especially interested in connecting
with this great Southern Railway Co,
at Portsmouth, Va, and persons
wanting to make a delightful trip
to the South at a very small cost, are
advised to Southern Pines by the Oh
Dominion route. General informa-
tion can be obtained at the Old Dom
inion Office in New York or at the 5.
A. l.. Office 81 Broadway, N. Y.
Mr.. st. John is only one of thous-
ands of good business men from the
North who have gone to the South
and settled on that live, progressive
Railroad, the Seaboard Air Line,
which is offering more inducements
to business men than any other road
in the country.

L. A. w. Notas.

The membership in the Pennsyl-
vania Division is steadily increasing
its lead on New York, and with the
coming renewal period should in
crease still more.
The Pennsylvania Division of the
l.. A. w. is to have a new road book
this year. A road book of the State
with maps showing how to get to ev-
cry point in Pennsylvania, and the
conditions and grade of the road to be
covered is something no wheelmen
should be without. The 1900 road
book will be issued in sections, each
section to be covered by maps arrang-
ed so that if put together would make
a complete map of Pennsylvania. Be
sides this State there will be repre-
sented such sections of New Jersey
and Delaware, as are most used by
riders in this State. This is big in
ducement for wheeImen to join the

Tobias Nelson, proprietor of Brook
side Villa, expects to begin the sale
ofmilk to the people of Milford Fri
day March 10th. Besides the regular
morning service, he will if the de-
mand warrants, makea trip in the
evening so that those who wish cream
for the morning coffee may procure
the milk in time to have it. This
luxury will no doubt be appreciated,
Mr.. Nelson has a number of good
cows, is convenient to the town; has
all the accessories to make pure milk
and keep it cool and has besides a
separator so that he can supply sweet,
fresh cream.

Summer Homes

It is said that the new proprietors
of the Porter Lake property expect
to erect a large house this spring
on the site of the old one which will
be demolished, and that many other
improvements are contemplated.
There are many fine locations for
club Houses and private summer
residences in the county, which are
within easy distance. 70 those ru-
rally inclined no section offers great
er inducements than do are river
townships The scenery is grand
the roads for most part our good,
the air is invigorating and the water
pure. These locations are within
moderate distances from the river
and lakes where there is fine fishing
and boating. Land is cheap and for
a comparatively small sum one may
own n place where vegetables may
be raised and sufficient to keep a
horse and a couple of cows. The
city man who wants quiet, little
summer home where he can enjoy
life with his family to the fullest
extent should investigate our coun-
ty, and its opportunities.
