Miss Media Mckinley, daughter of
former Borough Clerk Harry Mckinley,
and one of the teachers in the Anglesea
public school, was married on Sunday
by Rev. w. l.. King at Willard Hall
in Wildwood, to Elmer +. Straup, "A
highly respected young man who is
employed as engineer here by the
Arctic Ice Company. The wedding
was hastily planned and occurred under
startling circumstances. The groom
had been forbidden to visit the Nc
Ginley home by the father and it is re-
ported that the would be groom was
rather torcibly elected on Saturday upon
his last visit to his intended. This
episode eliminated in the hasty
wedding.
The Republicans Of Anglesea filed
nomination papers with Borough Clerk
Wilbur E. Young last week for candi-
dates to be voted for at the primary
election on Tuesday, Sept. %. w. E.
Young is the candidate for delegate to

George \. Redding. Ex-Judge II. II
Voorhees, is the candidate tor delegate
to attend the Congressional convention.
We have had high winds and high
tides for several days but it did not
result III any serious damage. On Sun
day the excursion trains brought down
n goodly number and it was a sur
prise to the people here; it was uneX-
pected, but the weather on Sunday
morning in Philadelphia Mas calm
aud bright with sunshine, while here
il was cloudy and stormy; but there
was fortunately no rain, SO While the
visitors could not go out in the yachts
and steamers, they could pass the
time by making use of the trolleys
and seeing as mucl and more of the
places on the island ashore than they
could on the boats on the ocean, es-
p%ecially as the paths were clear to
every part of tn. island aud there was
not the slightest obstruction, aud very
from early till late with passengers.
Many tishei from the boat landing
pier with varied results. Some did
I think the boats could have gone oul
and that was inside. Such folks
would no doubt have had the ex.
p%erience of the man who was asked
whether he did not on an ocean trip
have the feeling of an uncomfortable
e~xhilaration. He replied, mot exactly
that way but er-I could not contain
myself.
Did you ever consider that you can
get a good idea of a place by reading
the advertisements in the papers? They
are as important to the reader as to
the publisher for they tell of the activi-
ty and the spirit of the place and let
you know as much of what is going on
as does the column of ''local affairs
An editor called on an active concern
to get an advertisement from the party
for his paper. Where does it go? he
was asked. His reply was ut goes
north and south, it goes east and west,
and would have gone to the ID long
ago, had it not been for me.p 1t is
needless to say, he was favored with
a contract. Therefore read the adyer-
tisemeuts too, it may be of benefit
to you.
When the readers of the Philadel-
phia Sunday papers read an account
of the great mass of water that had
overlooked Five Mile Beach they must
have doubted whether the JOURNAL
would be issued this week out when
they looked about and found every
thing around them high and dry they
must have gathered hopes that there
would be something to read in it's
columns about the disaster hal did
not take place. The correspondent
for as the p~hraseology in all of the
papers was the same it must have
been n and the same person. must
have had a lovely attack of nightmare
and water on the brain combined. He
did certainly lie-under a wrong im-
preston.
Quite a number of summer residents
have closed their places and departed
for home. The Harwood family have
closed their home on Third N
The Johnson family theirs on Fourth
avenue and the McCarty family has
again taken possession till next
