Branchville has good prospects Of |
having a bank in the the near future
as the stock is being rapidly taken
up. If bank will pay at Milford,
why not at Branchvilie surrounded |
as it is by a thiokly settled agricul-
tural community. It will be a good
thing for sandyston, too
The Vantage Recorder is grumbl-
ing because the state has placed
5000 small mouth bass in Culver's
Lake, as that lake is as much
private waters as is swartswood
Lake owned by Mr.! Albright Of
Newark. / am inclined to agree
with the Recorder in that the state
has no business furnishing private
waters. Another thing, it don't
make no difference how many they
put in, I never find them when l
fish there.
The exhibition of the Fisher school
was held in the school house Friday
evening, and was so good that 1t
was repeated Saturday evening. l
did not attend, but from all reports
it was very good.
Our roads are in terrible con.
dition and in places where there is
sink holes the road overseer should
stuff it full of stones, but no, they
will let the travelling public get
through them as best they can, and
after the roads are settled, will go to
working the roads by piling gutter
mud into them. BY this excellent?
method we have very bad roads
until mid summer. and the town
ship pays the bill Ito the tune of
l,500 year. gEa.l
The Sussex independent in its last
issue says, IA unique bill has been
presented by a north Jersey assem-.
blyman providing that no game
shall be boughto sold in this state. Z"
That is the only law that will pro-
tect game, and if such a law be.
enacted, game would soon become
plentiful. think am safe in say
ing that majority of our sportsmen
are in favor of this law.
met Howard Little, ex-editor of
the Newton Record, in Newton a
day or two ago, He has just re-
turned from an, extended trip
through Mexico and his description
of that country is highly interesting.
He is interested in a rubber planta-
tion in southern Mexico.
A suggestion was made me that
instead of having one central school
we have three good schools, Haines-
Vile, Layton and Bevans. Letting
the two schools along the river and
the two along the mountain attend
any one of the thfes schools first
mentioned. 1 think the suggestion
an excellent one, for we are paying
for 4 schools not necessary in any
sense Of the word and at a Deedless
expense of over a Thousand dollars.
What will our board of education
say to this.
Henry Treble Of this town will
move TO farm near Lafayette and
commerce housekeeping this spring.
Now, that our road across the
mountain is 80 bad, everybody hsy-
ing hauling to do is eagerly waiting
the completion of the McAdam road
There is only a short piece to finish,
and it will not take the contractors
long TO do that when they once get
at it.
1 hear that William Clark OF
Haipesville is slowly improving and
barring a setback viii soon be out
again.
The rattle Of the milk cans is
more frequently heard. and the
Bevans creamery promises to do a
bigger business than they did last
year.
As there was 20 majority vote for
school money at last school meeting
another elecnonsmust be held or We
will lose the state appropriation.
