the younger, active working element of
the party. During the last eight years
he has conducted the messenger bust
ness between Penn's Grove and Phila-
nelphia he has proved himself to be a
successful hustler; honest and one who
can be relied upon. He has been en-
trusted with thousands of dollars and
always made his word good with those
who deal square. He is an active and
influential member of the Jr. Order of
Mechanics and District President of
the Patriotic Order Sons of America,
also a member of the Odd Fellows.
He is a Borough Marshal, having
been appointed by the Mayor and con-
frmed by the Council. He is a lead
ing spirit in Liberty Fire Company and
has worked harder than any other MAI
in Penn's Grove to provide a chemical
engine for the protection of property.
Prompt in the settlement of his bills,
he can be accused o fneilher hecunning
nor duplicity of some of eminent re-
spectability. If hustling will elect a
man stJack'' will become a law maker.
