The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires CON
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucus surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
tion of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative power that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

Sad Shock For Merchant.

Until he learned that he had been inn
posed upon by thief. Robert C. Richard
son, Churchville merchant, believed
that he had succeeded in Matching turkey
eggs under a hen in 2 weeks, whereas the
regular period of incubation is twice
that time. Thirteen turkey eggs came
to his store in trade and were placed
under hen. Just IA days later l2
healthy turkeys were Matched and Rich
ardson began to advertise them as a
new breed.
A day or two later he learned that a
thief had visited neighboring farm
and had taken eggs upon which fe-
male turkey had set for two weeks.
An innocent party to the crime, Richard
son offered to give his turkeys TO their
rightful owner. but his tender offer was
generously declined.

GOVERNOR WILL
BE WELCOME
With Good Roads Board He Will
Be Guest OF New Jersey
Governor

Maryland is to take New Jersey for
an example in the matter Of good road
building, and the members of the Mary
land Good Roads Commission are going
to ride over the roads of that State to
see what they are like. The Maryland
commission will be headed by Governor
Crothers, and the visit will be marked
by the exchange of executive courtesies
between the two States
Some time ago Governor Crothers in
formed State Road Commission Fred
erick Gilkeson, of New Jersey, that he
and members of the commission wanted
to have look at New Jersey roads.
Commissioner Gilkeson at once extended
an invitation to the Maryland Executive
to come to New Jersey and arrange
for trip over the roads of the State.
Governor Fort was asked to act with
Commissioner Gilkeson in entertaining
the Maryland Governor and his COM
panions.
Governor Fort and Commissioner
GilkesOn will meet Governor Crothers
and the other members of the Mary
land commission at Camden July 8. at
which point the tour in automobiles
over the Jersey roads will commence.
From Camden the ride will be made
over the White Horse turnpike. Through
Hammonton to Absecom. thence up the
coast over the gravel road built by
Ocean County, to Lakewood and on to
the National Guard camp ground at
Sea Girt, where Governor Fort will en-
tertain the members of the party at
dinner and over night The following
morning the party will proceed to
Eatontown. where the Colts Neck road
is in course of construction, and thence
to Freehold. Highstown. New Bruins
wick and on to Jersey City, where
Governor Fort will bid his brother Gov
ernor goodbye.
Every phase of stone road construc-
tion will be examined into during the
trip. as it is the wish of Governor
Crothers and the other members of the
Maryland commission to take back with
them all the information that is to be
had regarding the roads that have made
New Jersey famous.
