Edpewater PARK

Mrs. Elizabeth Mcclellan has brought
suit against her husband, Lafayette Nc
Clellan, for divorce on the ground of de-
sertion.
The defendant is a son of Davis w. Nc
Clellan, deceased, of Edgewater Park, and
is employed as manager of hotel on
the East Side in Camden.
A year or so ago Mrs. Mcclellan lived
with DR.. Pfeiffer at Merchantville, by
whom she was employed as housekeeper.
This excited McClellan's anger, and was
the cause of visit by him to the doctors
house., when scene occurred which re-
suited in the arrest of Mcclellan on q
charge of assault and battery
Mcclellan has retained Judge Howard
Carrcw, who has filed an answer denying
the alleged desertion. In his defense he
will insist, it is stated, that his marital
troubles are not due to any effort on his
part to evade providing for his wife, but
rather to her prediction for employment
in the Pfeiffer household. He claims tc
be very fond of his wife and would be de-
lighted if their former happy relations
could be restored.

A Trip up the Creek.

Wednesday was beautiful day for boat
ing, fishing and bathing; and on the after
noon of that day two young men from
Mount Holly ventured on the upper creek
in canoe, the boat containing only one
Storey In the bow there was Sleeper
so Robert had to do all the padding by
himself.
The fish were as scarce as hens teeth,
and various methods were employed to
pass away the time. Arriving at the
''gumberry" tree the boys concluded they
would tie up for awhile and cast tempting
bait to any bass that might be in that vi
cinity.
At this point George awoke out of his
lethargy and made grab for limb of a
fallen tree. In doing so the canoe was
tilted to one side, which brought Robert
over in that direction and into the creek
both young men went head first. Self
preservation was their first thought, and
as both are good swimmers they struck
out for safety, while the boat glided
gracefully uOWu SJredLu. In q rev minutes
they were standing on the fallen tree with
a steep embankment at their left.
The situation was critical. There was
only one thing to do, and George did that
quickly. Disrobing himself he plunged
into the water and swan after the retreat
ing canoe which he recovered about a
hundred yards distant. After reaching
his companion again he managed to get
into his clothes just as a boat load OF
ladies turned the bend
my, that was a narrow escape" re-
marked the blushing George.
The boys spoke pleasantly to the ladies,
to whom they said they were after turtles
among the rubbish which had collected in
the tree.
Much caution was exercised in getting
back into the canoe for fear of another
wetting, and just as they were about
ready to start, George whispered to his
friend; Hurry up, Bob, here comes a
newspaper man." Away they sped fol
home, feeling assured they had been I'M
observed by the scribe.

The opinion is grow ing that smallpox
will be more prevalent next winter than it
has been for some time past owing to its ap-
pearance in various places throughout the
summer. The weather during the past
few months has been sufficiently warm to
greatly check its spread, but from the
present number of cases it is apparent
that the malady will present itself again
at the first favorable opportunity. To
guard against probable outbreak people
should take early steps looking to a sue
cessful vaccination, which is the only safe
course to pursue The trying ordeal
through which some people passed last
winter, together with their permanent
Disagreement, should be sufficient warn
ing to those who have neglected this i'm
portant matter. In Burlington the Board
Of Education has given public notice that
no person will be enrolled as a member of
the public school who has not been sue
cessfully vaccinated Last year the disease
assumed very mild type, the death rate
being at minimum, but the conditions of
the approaching season may be such as to
cause the gravest apprehension, and the
adoption of protective measures may be
resorted to after it is too late The great
est stringency should be employed to
keep in check this loathsome disease, and
to accomplish that purpose there is moth
ing better than the simple form Of vacci-
nation.

The department of State has prepared
an interesting document, which has been
sent to all the Surrogates of the State,
consisting Of an index of wills and ad-
ministrations granted in New Jersey from
1705 to $780,
This document is of material value to
those who have occasion to search the old
records. In some counties the records are
complete from before 1925 to date, but
heretofore records of cases previous to
that time were only to be found at Tren-
ton. The index is so arranged that it will
show at a glance whether or not any will
has been probated or administration or
guardianship granted.
The reason for carrying the record down
to 1880 is that in many counties of the
State the records begin at that time One
volume covers from 1905 to 1904, during
which period the county lines were not
well defined, and it has not been possible
to indicate from which county wills were
sent. In the other volume, covering from
1904 to 1880, the index shows from which
county the wills came.
Since 1880 seven counties have been
created in New Jersey. so that the index
gives but fourteen, namely, Bergen, Bur
lington, Cape May, Cumberland, Essex,
Gloucester, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Mon
mouth, Morris, Salem, Somerset. Sussex
and Warren.
