pleasant call from Chester r. Smith,
a former teacher in this valley. For
the past year he has been in the
census Office at Washington and al
though he says he has lost in weight
he is looking very good and speaks
very highly of Uncle Sam as uu en-
ployer.
Lester ROsenkNns, another former
teacher is visiting relatives in this
county. Lester for the past 5 years
has taught at Leonia, Bergen Co.,
and is engaged for another at an an
ual salary of $1,000. Well, that beats
the rural districts of Sussex.
Culver's picnic did not materialize
as the steady downpour prevented.
The rain began falling early in the
morning and kept it up until toward
night Had the weather been fair a
large attendance from the over-moun-
tain towns would have been present,
but the management have decided to
try it over on Saturday next.
In looking over the geological sur
vey of New Jersey / find there are
10 lakes in this county each having
an area of over 100 acres: Cranberry,
l54; Culver, 1876; Little Pond, 100
Owassa, 299; Long Pond, III; Losee,
1877; Morris, 1856; Stanhope reservoir,
339; Swartswood, 500, and Wayway-
anda 24O acres respectively. There
are 40 ponds in Sussex and of these
80 have less than 100 acres. So the
reader can see how many will be af-
fected should the Roe bill become q
law.
notice in the Newark Sunday Cal
that party of city men have pur.
chased a tract of 1000 acres in Morris
county, for the purpose of a fish and
game preserve. Their intention nc
doubt is to have it for their own pri.
vate use and the public can go else
where to fish and hunt, just as will
be done later on in case the Roe bill
fails to become a law. 1t is only
within the past few years that the
city people have been attracted by
our lakes, and unless the people o
this county show by their votes tina
they want their lakes free, they may
awake to find them gobbled up by
the city folk, who will allow no fish
ing or hunting on their lands.
On Saturday last the driver of tn,
mail was comfortably wet inside a
well as outside upon his arrival a
Layton. A visit to the hotel added
to his jag, and why a landlord will
sell rum to mail carrier in his con
dition is somewhat surprising. Tn,
result was that the driver got off hi
road, and finally reached Milford
with the wreck of his wagon. Blu
it was not Mr.. Watson driving tina
day.
New Jersey has stringent election
law, and yet whiskey was used as al
aid in getting votes at our last towr
election, and no one has word Il
say against such practices. l woulC
like to see an election where neithe
money nor whiskey was used and fol
once let the "floater'' float. Bribery
will get caught one of these days.
The disease attacking the hogs o
Dayton Depue has subsidized, thank
to the treatment of DIR. Gray fNew
ton.
The entertainment at Hainesvillt
on Thursday was a success, ant
the receipts were SOL, which /
pretty good. The potpie was frs
class and the acting was very good.
Miss Sadie Hursh of Newark spen
Saturday and Sunday with her par
ents at Layton, returning to NewarI
on Sunday afternoon.
Complaint is made that the potat
crop is a very poor one, and nov
reports say what few there are ar
rotting owing to the continuous we
weather.
