Prominent Farmers Near Caledonia
Sell Personal Property and Skip
the Country.

Perhaps one of the most unusual
cases of desertion ever brought to
light in the history OF Marion
county was disclosed Saturday
when IT was learned that David
and Lee Timson, twin brothers
and prominent and well-to-do farm
ers residing near Caledonia, de-
serted their wives and families and
lett for parts unknown.
The rother in question married
sisters and were Joined in mar
riage only a few months apart.
Through some mutual agreement
last Tuesday the twins packed
their trunks and without bidding
their wives good bye boarded a
train and skipped the country.
David Timson held the Office Of
justice -of-the-peace of Tully town
ship and was very prominent in
political circles, while his brother
was prominent resident of Gale
donia, and also active in politics.
David leaves FIVE children, rang
hing in ages from 3 to years,
while the brother leaves but one
infant child.
The deserters cleared up all their
business affairs excepting the mat
ter of paying their creditors. the
Justice Of the peace in particular,
forgetting "a score or more OF
farmer neighbors who had had
great confidence in his honesty.
Although a number of Caledonia
people suspicioned that the hus-
bands had left their families for
Rgood, the matter was not definitely
made known until Saturday, when
one of the wives was interviewed
she acknowledging that the report
was true.
The brother in question married
ing their fathers farm, which IL
located about four miles north OF
Caledonia. They sold all their
personal property claiming at the
time that they had decided to quit
hfarming.

tion has been made, the authori.

Before voting at the special elect
ion to be held next Tuesday the
people should clearly understand the
purpose thereof.
The vote WILL decide whether the
Mayor and Borough Council may
Issue $4,000 OF bonds to aid In the
making of contemplated sidewalk
improvements. The sum appears
large but it does not mean that that
amount of bonds will ever be issued.
The issue is simply this: Many people
In Pleasaneville are desirous OF hay-
ing good sidewalks, and the Borough
Council In it's desire to serve the peo-
pie have set the machinery In motion.
They did not feel that the improve
ments should be general throughout
the town; they accordingly limited
them to the portions OF the streets
most used. No one can reasonably
doubt the wisdom of the selections,
and we do not believe there have
been many complaints as to the
streets and portions of streets desig-
mated.
Two ways were legally open to
pay for the improvements: by gen.
rral taxation, and by special assess
ment By adopting the first method
street Improvements would have
been made by the Borough and the
Pleasantville weekly press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1890-1911, 1907-08-17

streets to lay pavementE, and 1t is
sale to say q maiority will comply.
Many owners OF property are only
waiting for assurance that improve
ments will he carried out before GO
ing ahead. In the case Of a property
owner laying his own dewalk there
Ii nothing more necessary. There
may be a few, however-and may
they be very few-who win not COM
ply with the order to pave, either
because they are opposed to i'm
provemepts Of any kind or because
they are not really able In justice to
theif responsibilities. In the first
place, the public welfare and good
demand that they shall be forced; In
the second, that they shall be helped
to make the improvements, and this
win be the-result.if the bond issue 10
voted for-those who cannot or will
not make their improvements Will be
aided with the money in the hands
Of the commission.
Ordinarily the Borough would be
helpless in the last instance. In fact,
the bond Issue need not be, and will
not be, anywhere near $4,000. This
sum was fixed to allow the Borough
to make all the improvements if it
were necessary, 1t is hoped that
everybody wiz make their own i'm
provements. In that case no bonds
will be issued.
To sum up: The result OF Tuesdays
election should be Overwhelmingly in
favor Of the bond issue. 1t is the one
way to improve the town without
dealing uniustly with any person.
Be progressive; vote for the bond
issue.

EVEN THEY MUST
HAVE ENEMIES

A heavy reward Is offered in
another column by the 0. j. Ham
nell Co., for information leading to
the arrest OF the parties who entered
the firms cutting room Thursday
night, Aug. s. The damage done was
not the work OF boys or persons in
experienced in the handling of marble
cutters tools. There is every evil
dence that the forcible entry was
gained for malicious purposes, as the
ruined pieces of work were Clipped
with the workers implements and
not with sledge hammer. An am
ateur or novice would take any old
thing he could lay hands on to Gre
ate destruction. The guilty ones
made no mistake in this case.
Members of the firm are highly in
censed, and the community is shocked
over the occurrence. 1t Is hard to
believe that the Hammell Company
faces all enemy OF any kind. and par
ticularly among the skilled work
men. Fairness to faithful employees
is an asset OF the firm, but punish
ment can be dealt by the most amt
able OF people.
Therefore, woe betide future intrud-
ers OF the Hammell plant. The in
trusion last week was a reminder
that to be forearmed is wisdom. The
firm has taken precautions to make
a hot old time for those Of malicious
intent.

PROPHETIC WORDS

Therefore be ye also ready: for in

Of man cometh. These words were
used as the text OF the last twoser
mons preached by the Rev. McCon-

Bay last week. The body of the

near the spot where 1t had sunk. His
companions body. that of Claude
Friendship, was also found on Sat
urday floating In Mankiller Bay, one
half mile from where he lost his head
and sank with a death grip on Mr..

the wake of the sad story OF these
two deaths: the students last text

THE LIARS co SUNDAY

The club of non-pretenders, THE
LIARS, were afraid they might lose
their regulations last Sunday; a
downpour Of water seemed Imminent
and THE LIARS might have been
made Ineligible by the action OF the
raindrops. The trip was postponed
until next Sunday; the grand ad
vance will be made at s. am, on a
Shore Fast Line car. The points OF
interest on the trip have been noti-
fed that the members Of the club
will positively abstain from all forms
OF prosely ting. Cape May is particu-
larly afraid her people may become
contaminated, and that would be
awful now that she has something
to lie about-the hypnotized- ed-govern-
ment harbor.

ONE WORD MORE ON .]HAE most ITA[ POINT

general taxes Increased, which means
that a-person owning property on a
street not to be improved would be
compelled to pay the same proper
tion of the cost OF the Improvements
as the valuation of bis property
bears to the total valuation of the
property In Pleasantville. For in
stance, man living In Doughty
Roae would have been assessed for
improvements on Adams avenue.
THE ACCEPTED PLAN
But it was wisely decided to make
the improvements under a different
pla-, by making special assessments.
The ordinances covering every detail
of the work Of Improvements has
passed second reading and awaits
the result of the election Tuesday.
Under these ordinances every body
pays for his very own sidewalks. The
law and common sense look upon
sidewalks as ADDITIONS to proper
ties, adding real value thereto. This
does not conflict with the law
against special taxation.
WHY ISSUE BONDS?
II the ordinances providing for i'm
provements are passed by Council,
notices will be served upon every
property owner along the designated
