waving corn fields, the tall grain,
the great productiveness and the
general superiority Of the country
around them OF both sides OF the

Stanley and other counties, to any
other part Of the state. When we
read that we had to say something or
explode. We couldn't stand for it.
Not much!
Where is Pierre's progress and
prosperity anyway?
is there progress in the abandoned
houses and places OF business, in the
thousands OF town lots plated ell
over the gumbo bluffs without even
a shanty on the whole business?
Lots that we're plated to buy votes

Pierre is making one more effort tc

Heretofore they have advertised that
they have a Touring mill that is run
by the power Of natural gas. At the

for the past five or six years the mill

what reason? Simply because the

that it eat not be raised successful

ATTEMprED MURDER IN SALEM co,
Wife Under Arrest.

The quiet rural community known as
Wing Lane, a portion Of Salem county
where the houses are little closer together
than in the usual country districts, and
where several years ago was a general
store, was stirred to its depth last Friday
night when it became known that an at
tempt had been made TO take the life of
Luke Ingersoll, farm laborer. who lived
in tenant house on the farm Of William
A. Wood
The story of the occurrence as told by
Ingersoll to Prosecutor Sinnicksop, is that
he had finished his supper about O'Clock
and was seated behind the kitchen stove
enjoying his pipe, when there came a shot
from gun on the outside.
The glass crashed as the buckshot plowed
through the window near where Ingersoli
sat, He sprang up with a cry Of pain as
the result Of large number Of the shot
taking affect in different parts of his body,
but none caused serious injury
After making personal investigation
Prosecutor Sinnickson thought there was
sufficient mystery in connection with the
shooting to warrant him in placing MIS-
Alice Ingersoll, the wife, under arrest,
pending more thorough investigation
She was taken to Salem Jail on Monday
and it is said she has made statement
which the authorities refuse to give out
They also decline to state on what charge
she is being held, and will permit no one
| to see her.
The authorities have cline as to the
party who did the shooting, and suspicion
points to young man who, it is said, has
been paying more than ordinary attention
to IngersolI's wife. who is remarkably
pretty and young.
The Salem authorities are trying to find
VIM. Denelsbeck, young man Of that
section who is alleged to have had trouble
! with Ingersoll.

The Weather.

The new year is showing a disposition to
the Old fashioned, and putting to shame
those who have declared chat old fashioned
things had passed away, and that even the
weather had fallen under the spell Of the
new dispensation. Old things are real yet,
they are alive, up-to-date aud fashionable,
because this cold weather, colder than the
oldest inhabitant can recall in the past, is
with us vet.
The new year came in as mild and peace
ful as Friends meeting, but before it was
twenty-four hours old there was change,
and every day since has witnessed down
wald movement in the muroury, until the
bottom point was touched Tuesday, when
THERMOMETERS in exposed places registered

There is fine sleighing too. On the 2nd
we had rain and snow, and sin Sunday
the fortunate owners Of sIeghs have en-
jeyed about the best sleighing we have had

UNION EVAEGELrcAL SERVICES.


The first service of the proposed three
weeks series under the leadership of Rev.
DR.. Toy. evangelist, aud Mr.. Fisher, vocal
ist was held in the court room at three
O'Clock last Sunday afternoon, and was the
first gathering for purely religious purposes
ever held in our Temple of Justice The
room was we'll filed with Woodburians,
representing every religious denomination,
aud many who rarely attend any religious
service. On the Judges bench was Rev.
Toy, Pastors Moore, Tomson, Price and
Botsford. The choir, made up Of members
Of the church choirs Of the city churches,
occupied the jury box, and contrary TO the
depreciation OF many, genuine religious
atmosphere pervaded the beautiful court
room
Rev Toy is a man somewhat beyond
middle life; his words flow freely and his
voice is always pleasing and at times plead
ing In his discourses he STICKS close to the
gospel, quoting thsrefrom without reference
to The book, and giving hoax, chapter and
verse as though every letter Of the inspired
word was clear before his eye.
The singing was in harmony with ths
excellence of the preaching The frst ser
vices closed at 4 80
The only church service on Sunday even
ing was that led by Mr.. Toy in Kemble
Memorial Church, beginning at 7 30. The
c9mmodious edifice was crowded to the
doors, and most instructive and we hope
profitable service followed.
These services will be continued in the
Cours House every week day evening, ex-
cept Saturday. at 80 o'clock, and in the
chapel Of the Presbyterian Church every
ternoon at 3 o'eiock
The public viii be welcome at all the

Extending the City Lines.


Mr.. EDITOR: ! was glad to see in your
last issue proposition to extend the City
lines Westward. That should have been
done ong ago. Look at Delaware street
that ends right in the town.
OF course West Deptford win squeal,
but in this time Of Republican rule we
expect to hear them say funny things. But
why should Woodbury. q limits extend so far
East and 50 short West. The trolleys
make extra trips to the East, why not Il
the Vest? Will some one answer And
and tell me wherein am wrong, and i
they think I am right, say 50.
