POTTER NOTES.

I think Sunday fishermen ought to be invited to attend Sunday school and church. Maybe they wouldn't find time to go fishing. Farmers are not so we'll pleased over the cold spell of weather and so much rain. There has been a little frost but 1t did not injure anything much.
 Ira Anderson did not fill his ap- pointmeut at the school house Sunday on account of the rain. Sunday school 10 a. m., and prayer services at 7:30 p. m. every Sunday. Everybody is welcome.

NORTH WILDWOOD NOTES

r.. H. Means, of Wildwood, has pur-
chased a new and handsomely furnish
ed twelve room cottage on 26th street,
east of New Jersey avenue, of the
North Wildwood Land Co., through
real estate agent John Bright. Mr..
Means intends to move into it inn
mediately from his Pine avenue cottage
which he will offer for rent.
G. H. Holm, the well known Phila-
delphia electrical contractor has pur-
chased the Moses Bank cottage on 18th
street, Ottens Tract. Mr.. Holm was
on the island last week completing
some electrical wiring.
William B. Mackenny, who has
leased the Hotel Ottens for the season,
expects to open that popular hostelry
about May 10th.
For a number of days and nights a
number of dogs have been chasing rab-
bits through the woods and in the built
up portion of North Wildwood. The
loud barking of these dogs at night is a
great annoyance to the residents ofthat
section. Mr.. Ottens states that he is
unable to learn the ownership of the
dogs and that he will pay a reward of
$40 for any information disclosing the
ownership of these dogs and leading to
their arrest and conviction. Game
Warden Charles Ross has been over
here investigating the matter.

Letter to Councilman E. S. Culver,
Holly Beach, N. j.


Dear Sir: ut costs as much TO put
on poor paint as good'-a common
saying and true, it costs much more to
put-on poor paint; more gallons.
Poor paint is paint and barytes or
paint and sand or paint and lime or
paint and chalk or paint and benzine
or paint and water; these are the usual
cheats; there are others.
1t takes more gallons of panhandle
cheat than of honest paint; and the
cost of the labor of painting is so much
a gallon-one gallon costs as much as
another, for labor.
This is the way to reckon your costs
for this year; but how about next year?
Paint Devoe, and next tyear costs
nothing; year after next the same; the
same for several years.
Paint anything else, and your costs
recur according to what you paint-with.
Some of the mixtures wear n year;
some two; some three.
1t costs twice, three times, four times,
five times, as much to paint with a
cheat as to paint with Devoe.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvOE d Co.,
s New York.

PROGRESS AT THE CREST
Work Started on the Sewerage
System, Cement Walks
and Sea Wall

The Crest is a veritable hive of i'll
dustry these spring days and at the
rate Improvements are being pushed
now, summer will see it a small city
with graveled streets, cement walks
and protected by a strong sea wall.
The contract to lay about two miles
of sewer was awarded some time ago
to Alex Murdoch, of Philadelphia,
who has made a start on that work.
Mr.. Murdoch superintended the laying
of the Sc werage system in Holly Beach
and the work at the Crest will be of
the same order. Engineer Geo. L
Watson, of Philadelphia, will super
intend the work and has opened his
office in Rosenfield Bros. store, Bourse
building, Holly Beach.
The contract to lay a large portion
of the cement sidewalk and curbing
has bten awarded TO Contractor Carl
force of men at work and will push 1t
to completion with all rapidity.
Contractor JOS. n. Costill, who re-
ceived the contract to build nearly
three miles of bulkhead and sea wall
at the Crest, is pushing that work
theoretically and already has a large
portion of it in position. This wall is
an experiment with Baker Brothers,
but from all indications it will prove
an excellent protection to the beach.
1t is built diagonally with the beach
and extends along its whole length.
w. b. Reed, of Philadelphia, is
having a fine cottage erected at the
Crest by the Fidelity Construction Co.,
of Philadelphia. 1t is to be completed
by June LIST.
Walter l.. Pope, OF Haddonfield, has
purchased lots at the Crest and will
erect b fine cottage this spring. The
contract will be given out as Dol as
plans can be drawn.

Startling But True.

People the world over we're horrife1
on learning Of the burning of Chicago
theater in which nearly six hundred
people lost their lives, We. more than
five times this number or over 5000
people died from pneumonia in Chicago
during the same year, with scarcely a
passing notice. Every one OF these
cases of pneumonia resulted from C I'D
and could have been prevented by the
timely use of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. A great many who had every
reason to fear pneumonia have warded
it off by the prompt use of this remedy.
The following is an instance of this sort ;
