turned out to see their beloved team LAY
it on ton Woodbury.; places of business
were closed, sweet potato fields were left
unmolested, and farmer and business man
hastened to Woodbury., the scene of the
conflict, in vehicles, on bicycles, on foot
and in the train, to witness the fun.
And it was fun from the start Pauls-
boro had some husky" boys in uniform
ploughing around the diamond, 'sketchin

Woodbury. started off with a run in the
first and second. The visitors got four in
the next few innings Paulsboro 4, Coun-
try Club 2. Paulsboro was happy, the
grandstand was scene of great jubilation,
for the people of Paulsbore are aristocratic,
they must have the best that can be had,
so they roasted in the grandstand 1t can
truthfully be said, with shame, that the
grandstand held more visitors than specta-
tors from our own town.
In the eighth things took on different
hue, the victorious crow of the visitor was
flushed, for very unexpected thing hap

their reputation was at stake. Milstead,
who had been pitching winning ball and
was proving himself puzzle to the home
team was touched up pretty lively, in fact
all the Paulsboro players were up in that
inning, and before the inning was through
the game was won and lost.
Booger, Powell, Keeling, Pedrick, Rey-
nolds, Tyler, and in fact the whole team
got in it, and when the dust of battle
had cleared away the scorekeeper was

Victory for the Blowers.

Determined to win the fight he has waged
against the Green Bottle Blowers Associa-
ton for more than two years, George Jonas
owner Of the Jonas Glass Works, at Mino-
tola, is now arranging to equip his plant
with glass blowing machines, which he says
can be now run by what experienced help
he now has. The striking glass blowers,
who are still in their headquarters, opposite
the Jonas plant, view the matter as victory
for them, claiming that Jonas acknowledged
he could not get help enough to run the
factory.

Woodbury., N. J.
Dear Sir:-I have seen some paper re-
ports that the Court in the case of Wilbert
F. Justice against Logan township has de-
cided that the road between Centre Square
and Pedricktown it was not their duty to
make it passable. I wish you would cor
rect this report in your next issue. The
Supreme Court says it is the duty Of the
Township Committee to repair the road
and to raise the money for the purpose at
the Town Meeting. The farmers and tax
payers have been paying taxes on this road
for years, and the money taken to other
parts Of the county, to repair roads for the
benefit OF others, and this road neglected
Now, it does not seem just, right or fair
that the farmers in this vicinity should be
deprived of this road, for it is as important
to them and the village of Pedricktown and
trayeling public as the new bridge and road
is to the village Of Bridgeport.
Now, regarding the county bridge at
Pedricktown. Some months ago COM
mittee of Ave was appointed by the Board
of Freeholders of Gloucester county to meet
committee Of five from the Boardof Salem
county. They met at Woodbury. and voted
to build new bridge by a vote of seven in
favor and three against new bridge. It is
understood that this agreement has been
laid on the table by the Board Of Free
holders Of Gloucester county by order Of
Mr.. Usinger, who does not favor the farm
ers and travelling public in this vicinity,
excepting on election day when he wants
their votes. After election day they are
only walking sticks for him, and when
their bridges and roads want repairing, he
has no money to repair them in this yioin-
ity, but has plenty Of money 10 build stone
roads and bridges to favor Bridgeport and
vicinity. It is time farmers and taxpayers
| in lower Logan look after their interest on
election day, and protect their property
from being ruined VIII they do it,?
