A resolution proposed that "the execu-
tive committee of the state grange
make list of the business associa-
lions, firms and individuals who are in
any way on record as opposed to par
cells post and furnish a complete list to
every grange in the state with such
recommendations as will best serve
our interest and purpose" This par
ticular resolution was looked upon by
many as creating ''black list of mer-
chants, and it was moved to amend by
striking out the clause requiring the
list to be supplied to subordinate
oranges. Others believed that without
the list such publicity would lose its
intended effect The resolution was
finally adopted by vote of AZ to 2.
Another resolution against telephone
monopoly was adopted, and commit
tee was authorized to appear before
any legislative committee or other tri-
bunal to favor the establishment of a
competing telephone company within
the state.
Another resolution favored the pur-
chase of United States flag for any
subordinate grange that owned its own
hall and would agree to provide flag
pole and fly the flag on all days when
the grange is in session and on SEES
sion days Of the state grange.

A Letter from ClaPksbor0.

Mr.. EDIT0R:-Seeing in a late issue of
your paper that Mark B. Lippincott, one OF
Woodbury's oldest citizens, had reached
his S0th mile stone in the journey of life,
will send you some vital statistics of
Clarksboro. While they may not be true
in every detail, they are approximately
correct.
Somesof our maiden ladies do not like to
ell their ages-ind we would not like to
mark them too high. Oar worthy towns
man, jeremiah Sweeten, informs us he has
passed his 92dHbirthday, and we are glad to
still to see him upon our streets. Mrs.
Mary A. Carter passed her 91st birthday,
which she celebrated with SEINE OF her chill
dren and old friends some time since. She
has lived in and around Clarksboro all OF
her life. For oyer 20 years Of her life
Clarksboro has been her post office. Besides
the two venerable persons we have men
toned, we have eight who have passed
their s0sh milestone.
HCAC Ole AoOup ctApy -OAC i0miliCc, oOul-
posed Of 191 persons in Clarksboro proper.
with average longevity Of life Of over 38
years.
While she air is SO pure shat the stork
flies high and seldom makes decent upon
our town, though it did not long since at
the home Of Mr.. E. Burk. and left daugh-
ter who they christened May-yet this
anne pure air is healthy, insigorating and
life giving.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you see CIarksboro is
here and to stay, and we want to make
some improvements along the lines sug
gested by our worthy townsman, Joseph T.
Sickler, in your valuable paper some time
since. We want streets, not roads, mud
puddles) improved from curb to curb. The
curbline set and grade nos only for the
street but for the sidewalks ALSO
The water that now runs down our Main
street untiKit is not only disgrace to our
town, but fills some OF our cellars, should
be conveyed in other directions. While
our county has purchased the Salem pike
and is going 60 improve it, these and other
Improvements can be made at little extra
expense.
Again, we want our Spring elections or
Town Meetings, those bullworks of our
independence in which we may decide how
many horses may be put to a road seraper
to scrape the mud out Of the cutters and
place it in the middle OF the street! And
many more momentous questions, and then
not only CIarksboro, bus our neighboring
villages Of Mickleton and Berkeley may be
ssbeautiied 2 ]. T. B.

The force and effectiveness of the
sermon preached by the average coun-
try pastor is as often yitiated by poor
ventilation and carbonic acid gas as it
is by deficient knowledge of theology
on the part of the pastor or faulty
presentation of his theme or thought.
The man of God is fighting the devil
at great disadvantage if he has to car
ry on his warfare in poorly ventilat-
ed church. While the duties of the
janitor are usually of very mundane
character, he should be the pastors
right hand man and not an ally of
Satan.

AN ACTIVE POMONA.
1t Has Legislative Committee That
Performs important Public Service.

The legislative committee of Chau-
tauqua county Pomona is getting
ready for action. The membership of
this committee is constituted Of one
member from each subordinate grange
in the county to be elected annually in
August. The duties of the committee
are to keep in communication with the
legislative committee of the state
grange and keep Informed on all legis-
lation of interest to the grange and
communicate such information to each
subordinate grange in the county. The
committee is to meet regularly at each
session of the Pomona. A Chautauqua
county newspaper refers to this com
mittee ''as a body having power to
perform distinct public service" We
believe 1t can be made the means Of
accomplishing great good for the farm
ers' interests in Chautauqua county. A
like committee could well be organized
in other strong grange counties of the
state.

grange on the temperance question was
set forth in the following resolution
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The manufacture, sale and
use of intoxicants is the greatest evil Of
our time; and,
Whereas, The recourse which those who
are opposed to the business now have iT
the license courts Is inadequate: and.
Whereas. Local option is thoroughly
