FOR TWO TOWNS.
Millyille and Vineland POstmas-
ters are Determined Upon by
Appointing Powers.

ton which comes from Washington
that the recommendation of Postmas-
ters has been made for Millville and
Vineland.
In Millviile the appointment of
Hon. Thomas f. Austin has been sent
in, while in Vineland the Postmaster
ship will go to Frank Wanser, son of
Col. Jarvis Wanser, the commandant
of the Vineland Soldiers Home.
Both the recommendations of Mr.
Austin and Mr. Wanser were made TO
the President by Congressman Loud
enslager and Gardner, and United
States Senators John Kean and John
F. Dryden.
The new Postmaster of Millville has
been Republican worker of activity,
and prominent in party leadership all
through the county. His first posi-
ton was under the administration of
President Harrison, he being the
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
for this District, being recommended
by Congressman Bergen. Under the
first Mckinley administration Mr.
Austin was again appointed to the
same position having the endorsement
of the late United States Senator Will
liam J. Sewell.
Three times he was elected to the
Assembly from this county and was
a foremost figure in the body while
there and had much influence in OBJ
tanning positions for Cumberland Re-
publicans, and during his last year
was Chairman of the Committee on
Engrossed bills and was upon several
other committees.
When the State Control Oyster act
was passed through the influence of
Senator Stokes, Mr. Austin was made
superintendent of the Commission and
has been the executive officer ever
since. Through his efforts the new
law was adjusted and worked smooth
~ and it has proven popular.
During the United States Senatorial
contest, Mr.. Austin was one of the
foremost and most active of the en-
thusiastic supporters of Senator
Stokes and worked earnestly for his
success.
On Tuesday last Mr.. sAustin ap-
peared before the State Oyster Com
mission and rendered his resignation
as Superintendent. The resignation
was received with regret and the Com
mission did the very proper thing and
selected without the slightest opposi-
tion as his successor Capt. Alonzo T.
Bacon and that gentleman entered
upon his dnties at once. Mr.. Bacon is
one of the representative men of Cum
berland county. He is widely known
as conservative, fair, liberal minded
business man, and has the fullest con-
fidence of the community. For years
he has been in the general store bust
ness at Bivalve and has a personal
acquaintance with every oysterman in
Maurice River Cove and very COM
prehensive geenral idea of the oyster
business and it's needs. Mr.. Bacon
lives at Mauricetown and he will have
signal advantage over his predeces-
sor, that of being upon the ground
every day at the command of those
who have business with the Oyster
superintendent. The selection of
Capt. Bacon will bring into active
politics one of the most steadfast and
earnest Republicans in the county.
Frank Wanser, who will succeed
James J. Hunt, of Vineland, as Post
master, will bring to the office ability.
active business training and progress
sive ideas. Mr.. Wanser has always
been active in politics and added much
to Republican success in Landis town
ship. For several years he was in
Washington, holding a responsible
position in the House of Representa-
Htives. The past few years he has de-
voted his time to the business of his
brother. Frank is q most pleasant,
