Merry Burglar.

A burglar with nerve to spare went
thru the home of Louisa L. McNair,
in Minneapolis, and many valuables
were taken.
Only one man was seen and his work
was witnessed by nurse who was
staying at the house, who told her that
if she remained quiet she would not
be harmed. He stayed in the house
nearly an hour searching it thoroly.
Mrs. Louis X. Hull, the daughter of
Mrs. McNair, was also aroused, but
dared not call her husband for fear
of serious consequences. The thief
ransacked the dresser drawers, secur-
ing Mrs. Hull's diamonds and other
jewels. He then went down stairs,
opened a cabinet, and took two old
Swiss watches and several antique
rings.

While some of our farmers are rejoicing
in large measure of prosperity arising
from good prices obtained from tomatoes,
potatoes, egg plants and asparagus, those
who made speciality of watermelons and
cantaloupes have had an opposite expert
ence. Benjamin Norton, of Centre Square,
had seventeen acres of watermelons and
nine acres of cantoloupes. From the former
his gross receipts were SS4, and from the
latter $39, and his experience is not differ

Sweet potatoes, we are informed, are not

their crop at eight baskets to the one hun

CAPE MAY TO HAVE NEGRO COLONY.
Tract Of $500 Secured,

The great success OF the Russian Hebrew
colony Of Woodbine, founded by Baron de
Hirsch, has recently attracted another
colony founder to Cape May county-for-
mer Representative White, of North Caro-
lima, negro. The new colony is in the
lower end of the county on tract of 3, 500
acres Already many negro families from
Virginia and North Carolina have settled
there. The town of Whitesboro has been
laid out on plot of 500 acres. In close
proximity are half dozen seashore resorts,
where the negro farmers will find ready
market for their produce.
The founder will allow only the better
class Of Southern negroes to join the col
ony. He has agents in the Southern States
offering farms to good and competent farm
ers on most liberal terms.
The land has been laid out in farms Of
ten, twenty and fifty acres. The soil is
unusually fertile and yielded abundant
crops to the.pioneers this year.
About January thirty families will ar
rive from Charlotte, n. c. Wlitesboro lies
along the line Of the Pennsylvania and
Reading systems. Many who become resi-
dents Of the town will find employment in
the summer months at Cape May, Holly
Beach, Wildwood, Anglesea, Sea Isle City
and Ocean City.
Several canning factories viii be built
and thousands Of dollars will be expended
in making the new colony success.

Mr.. Editor.
Under the above heading the Woodbuay
Times reprints an article from the Posi-
Telegram in which it is intimated that
'treachery to the Republican candidate for
Assembly-Mr. Avis-is contemplated or
inspired by some one prominent in the
party's councils, and, that emphatic dec
larations of loyalty to the Republican
ticket and active work for its success, will
be necessary on the part of the suspect, z
and also the best means Of upsetting an
opposition which might foster and fatten
into Democratic victory
That reads well, doesn't it? But when
we consider the source in Gloucester
County from which the writer drew his
inspiration, IFS effect is lost, for thar which
is known by all men cannot be put aside
by evasions, false charges or misrepresenta-
tions.
when You have no case, abuse the
other side' is an old legal saying, and ordi-
narily, the editorial above quoted, might
serve to scare reealcitrants back into line
again; but the elections last Fall and the
result thereof, are too recent, too fresh in
the memories of Republicans in this county
to be effacedor forgotten. and to quote from
the editorial above mentioned, is the sort
of politics which should be scorned by every
honest Republican
There are times in the history Of all
political parties, working for the common
veal, when a general threshing out Of chaff

A GLANcE.AT THE PAST.

The first number of the GLoUgEsTER
COUNTY DEMOCRAT was printed on Aug.
s, 1873, by William 7. Gibbs, who con-
tinued to guide its fortunes until the
following February when he abandoned the
task. 1t was issued irregularly until
March 18th, when the present proprietor
took up the burden. From August to
that date, the paper was SIX column folio,
and the subscription price SOC. per year.
With the first issue after taking charge the
new proprietor enlarged the paper to a
seven column folio-just half the size of
the present number, and put the paper on
business basis by increasing the subscrip-
ton price to $3.50 per year. To review
the experiences of the young publisher Of
the DEMOCRAT during the first year or two
OF his efforts to establish his press in pub
lie favor, would be OF doubtful interest to
this generation of our readers ous, first
press was a Washington hand press and
for two years it did grand service in the
publication of the DEMOCRAT. Then came
the Taylor drum cylinder and steam en-
gine and the DEMOCRAT began TO feel the
impetus Of new and increased strength. BY
degrees the subscription list had mounted
to one Thousand copies and advertising
patronage forced an enlargement of the
paper to eight columns which was accom-
plished on Aug. 6, 1880. For six years the
size Of the sheet remained at that size. then
we were forced to enlarge to nine columns
The limit Of the capacity of our Taylor
drum cylinder press was now reached. and
we are frank to say that until two years
ago we had not thought that IN our day
tbs 1cessity would exist for a larger
paper ssaa increased printing facilities
better GLOUCESTER COUNTY DEMOCRAT.
Year BY year the subscription list has
grown; never by great strides, nor was the
increased effected by boom methods, but as
the result Of gathering and printing the
news unadorned by yellow paint or ques-
tionable methods. The people have apple
ciated an earnest effort to give them the
news Of the whole county, and in increas-
ing numbers year By year they have en-
rolled their names on our list until this
issue is a welcome visitor to eighteen hun
dred homes-a number never before. we
believe, reached by a newspaper in this
county.
