On Wednesday Mrs Lewis Love, who
lives near the railroad wharf, went to the
residence of Thomas Wallace, on Church
street, to get the weekly wash to take to
her home to do up. While on her way
back she met friend in front of the Bor-
dentown banking building on Farnsworth
avenue and Willow street. She set the
basket of clothes on the sidewalk and the
two women engaged for some time in
earnest conversation about the weather
and kindred subjects. When they got
through talking Mrs. Love turned to pick
up the basket of clothing to proceed on
her way home, but the basket and its con
tents had mysteri ously disappeared 1t
transpired that while Mrs. Loves back
was turned man slipped up behind her
and carried off the wash, boarding the
first trolley car that came along. When
the car arrived at its destination, at State

sengers alighted and the basket of clothes
was left behind, the man who had gotten
on with it at Bordentown having disap-
peared. 1t was presumed that after tax
ing the clothes off the sidewalk he be-
came frightened and decided to leave
them in the car and decamp. AS no claim
was made for the goods they were taken
to the Riverside Office of che Camden g.

articles left in the cars are stored. Word

A New Schoo1house.

The voters of Northampton Township
will meet in the Court House next Mon
day evening at eight o'clock to consider
the proposition to build a new schoolhouse
for the colored students. This action is
made imperative by orders from the State
officials who have declared the building
on Filbert street not suited for the pur-
pose for which it is used. The room is
too small for the accommodation of the
pupils and it is so near the railroad that it
is impossible to give the students proper
attention. In addition to the number of
passenger trains that run by the place
there are engines drilling and blowing off
steam at rate that creates continual
din.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the Northampton Board of Education
last February and negotiations were be-
gun for lot of land but before they
could be completed q hitch occurred and
the price of land went up all over the
neighborhood. Attempts were then made
to rent building that could be used until
a suitable site could be found. This also
fell through In the meantime the County
Superintendent was urging action, then
the State Superintendent wrote on the
subject, and after looking around a lot
was found on Chestnut street which can
be bought for a reasonable price. An
option was secured, pending the action of
the taxpayers next Monday.
The propositions that will be offered at
the meeting will bet to sell or dispose of |
the building and lot on Filbert street, now
occupied as a schoolhouse; to authorize
the purchase of lot on Chestnut street |
and erect and furnish building on it; to |
expend sum not exceeding $3.50 for the
lot, and an amount not exceeding $3.50 |
for the erection and furnishing of the
the entire amount not to exceed
81, 600; to authorize the execution of
bond and mortgage to secure payment for
The expenditure of this money.

SOME SOURCES CT WEALTH

Our Denmark correspondent
writes Interestingly of industrial
conditions on Kerr's Creek. That
section of Rockbridge has always
been noted for agricultural pro-
ducts, as we'll az for industries
pertaining to the small crops and
the poultry yard. As has often
been said in these columns, a large
revenue may be obtained on every
farm by devoting more time and
attention to these seemingly minor
industries. What is being done
in that section may with similar
results be dohe elsewhere.
We should be glad to publish
from every section of the county
similar letters, dealing with local
industries and other sources Of
revenue and profit to the commu-
nifty .Rockbridge is richly endowed
with natural advantages, and many
of her residents are not slow to
take advantage of these conditions,
with the result that "peace and
prosperity" abounds.
As to the value of poultry, Presi'
dent Curtis, of the American
Poultry Association, in his annual
address before the recent meeting
of the associt tion, said: Ono other
cless of live stock has developed so
wonderfully since 1870. In 1887
the total poultry production for
the United States was estimated at
SIT. 900, OO0." The total poultry
industry now is estimated to yield
an annual profit of 500, 900, 900.
