GRAND GOOD TIME
Enjoyed by the Guests at the
Trenton Last Friday Evening
Grand Pageant

Friday evening novel scene was ell
acted along the board walk. The jolly
guests of the popular Trenton turned
out en-masse and took Wildwood by
storm. a grotesque procession left the
hotel porch at about S:l5 O'Clock in the
evening and to the melodious melodies
of horns, whistles and mouth organs,
moved to the board walk and swept
along in its course of fun and jollity to
the North Wildwood end of the walk.
Here few fancy dances held the at
tention of the enormous crowd present.
On returning the pageant became the
center of attraction at the Ocean Pier,
and later at the Casino. The artistic
rendition of many popular airs was
warmly commented on by the hundreds
OF spectators. 1t was nearing the mid
night hour when the hilarious process
sion returned to the Trenton, where
their genial hostess, Mrs. f.. \. Bald
win regaled the marchers with sump-
tuous lunch, and the early morning
hours came on before the final good
night salutations passed from one to
the other of the tired dancers.

Letter to Harry SaltZman
HOIlV Reach n

Dear Sir: Now, may be, you can 1
get the goods; if you can your fortune
is made.
Cotton coth-they call it muslin in
some parts-at about the usual price
per yard, but wider, twice as wide as
some, and better, wears better, keeps
white and whole surprising time in
all sorts of wear.
You could sell that cloth for humid
reds of miles; there'd be no limit.
a yard goes further; one buys less
yards. Wears longer; one buys less
often. 1t always looks right till well
worn-out. No one customer buys so
much of it, but think of the number of
customers
May be you can't get it i'll cloth but
you can in paint DevOe. DeVoe is as
if it were wider; a gallon goes further;
you buy less gallons; you pay for less
gallons; you pay for painting less
gallons-as if one paid less for making
a garment of that wide cloth-and ii
keeps its fresh look and sheds water
till you have forgotten how old it is.
1t isn't true in cloth, but ii is in paint:
the less you pay, the better it is for
the goodness of paint is reckoned by
gallons; less gallons, more goodness.
Goodness in paint is strength. The
stronger a paint, the less gallons il
takes for a job and the longer it wears.
Yours truly

Noted AuctiOneer

The Philadelphia Press has this to
say of a resident of Vineland and Il
cottager in Wildwood:
During the past three years Mr.. John
A. Ackley real estate auctioneer, of
Wildwood-by-the-Sea, has transacted
over four million dollars worth of sea-
shore real estate business.
1t is said of Mr.. Ackley by some of
the biggest realty holders that he is the
most expert judge of values of seashore
property in Eastern United States, and
this fact is eloquent in the immense
business that he does at his annual
sales, which are the real estate feature
of the coast each year.

MINERAL SKYE
NEAR oosRRSVILLE
From The Drift Of the Lead II Is Thought
To be the faIrisw Vein.

While digging in cellar under the
residence Of Prof c. W. Wright,
near Carrsvslle, last week, workmen
uncovered a very rich vein of Auor
spar. The mineral is mixed with the
clay aud begins to show up not more
than or ) feet from the surface.
About 6 feet of the width of the
vein is uncovered in the west side of
the vein, and it is not known how
much wider the vein is. The vein
runs from N. +. to S. w., and ac-
cording to late geological survey it
seems reasonably certain that the
Professor has struck the famous
'Fairview Lead.

WRECK AT BLACKBOARD


Freight train No. 302 on the Him
ois Central railroad north bound was
wrecked about two miles below Black
ford Sunday afternoon between 3 and
! o'clock.
Five freight cars were turned over
aud badly wrecked but luckily, the
engine did not leave the track. The
caboose did not fare as we'll as the
engine and left the track and Con-
ductor Hughes, of Evansville who
was in the caboose at the time, was
slightly injured internally. He was
taken to his home last night and it is
not thought that he will be compelled
to keep to his room more than few
days.
Spreading rails are supposed to
have caused the wreck. The tracks
were cleared shortly after the acct
dent and traffic was not delayed but
. very short time.
