Penn's Grove, Feb. 20, 1870

Penn's Grove, Feb. 20, 1907,
To the Salem Sunbeam:
The old Emmanuel Church was enter
ed last Saturday night by one or more
rascals who tore the pictures from the
walls, either destroying or carrying tlrem
away and almost demolishing the easel
on hung a very effective crayon draw
ing.
All the pictures were the work of
the minister who lad spent much time
illustrating his sermons Suspicion
points strongly to certain ones who have
from time to time cast at, on upon him,
(the minister) insult upon insult. l
hardly think they are acquainted with
the penalty OF such malicious mischief.
The community is watching them, and
before long may be brought to justice.
The minister, Rev. Williem Stone, is a
talented man-artist, musician, and a
preacher of no mean type. The people
love and respect him (save a few and
consider him one Of the most Efficient and
godly men who has filled the old church
pulpit in this place Through his instru-
mentally he has wrought great changes
in the church by bringing i'll many who
were apparently dead, retaining the
back slider and drawing on the young,
Notwithstanding the enmity and jeal-
ousy of a few. The good work goes ON.
There are traitors in every cause, and we
have them here in Penn's Grove and
presumably in the church of God, wear
ing the cloak of righteousness as a sham,
while within are full Of %rottenness.

The military display on inauguration day was great success and did much credit to the National Guard organIza- tion in this State. All who saw 1t were surprised, and in the review the sur prise was great, and exclamations of admiration were heard on every hand as the different commands filed by. Governor Conner must have been grati- he'd to see at his command such a splendid body of men, whom, he knows, are ready and willing, at his word, to maintain and uphold the strong arm of the law, and aid him in maintaining order and enforcing the laws of the State.
 Fully a thousand men were in line, and, with the school boys, they made a fine show. The uniforms worn were the same as those furnished the regu- far army, and, being comparatively new. made very fair appearance. The uniforms now being made are cut and made with more care than heretofore, and fit much better. The dress coat costs twice as much as the old blue blouse, and fits the figure so as to make a good appearance. The sash on the coat and the band on the cap makes the full dress. and the Alabama boys will soon have them, as those now being furnished are of the new pattern and cost over $8 a uniform.
 The parade impressed the legislators, and will have good effect in securing legislation.

The National Board.

The annual meeting of the National
 Board for the Promotion of Rife Prac-
 tice, is to be held in the office of the Assistant Secretary of War, room 326. in Washington. D. C., January 25. The
 program for the national matches will
 be arranged, and quite number of important rules governing competitions are to be made.
 Gen. A B. Crutchfeld. Adjutant-Gen- eral of the State of Ohio. will offer to
 the Board the new State rifle range of Ohio for a place to hold the national matches of 1907. The State of Ohio ap- propriated $27.350 for the purchase and improvement of about 400 acres of land
 on the south shore of Lake Erie, To- cated on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway. about thirty miles east of Toledo and nineteen miles west of Sandusky.
 The new range contains three main rife butts, with fifty targets in each butt and in addition, there are two small butts for the 300 and 600-yard
 ranges, all butts to be arranged to permit firing from a cannon firing line. The range is so located that the firing will be due north, the bullets dropping in Lake Erie, which, at this point, IS shallow for six or eight miles out and consequently, not frequented by craft, other than small fishing smacks, launches, and the like.
 The targets will be equipped throughout with the Aiken, all steel. improved target machines. a large part of which have been installed. Each range will have its own telephone sys-
 tenn there being an independent tele- phone line for each ten targets. The skirmlsh field is on the 600-yard range and permits of skirmishing fifty men at a time.
 By the arrangement of targets in | echelon, it will be possible to fire on any or all of the ranges, without in any way interfering with each other so that fully four hundred men may fire every twenty minutes.
 In connection with the rifle range there is a whcle quarter section of 16O | acres for camping purposes. com
 plete sewer system with sewerage plant. is being put in, and permanent works which will provide for filter ing lake water The grounds will be lighted by electricity and everything
 will be done for the comfort of the men.
 The range is located on one of the
 most delightful positions of the lake shore. there being aver mile of fine
 sand beach fronting the ranges. whicf
 will afford fine bathing at all times It is said to be far superior in every respect to Sea Girt, and it is almos
 certain the Board will decide to hav'
 the future matches there.
