EVAN

The Rev. Samuel Cossaboon has
come to EVAN for his annual visit with
his son, r. M. Cossaboon. The church
going people are especially glad to
welcome our aged brother as he al
ways takes an active part in the Sum
| day school and the evening meetings.
/ His visit has solved the problem OF
leadership at our evening meetings
| for awhile, as he always stands ready
| to give an interesting and instructive
| talk
James Bill left for Camden this week
| to accept position on the trolley car.
Rev. l.. F. Bausman, as was stated
last week, filled Rev. H. M. Smiths
| pulpit last Sunday and preached a
strong sermon on the second coming
of Christ, to an appreciative audience.
Among other things Rev. Bauseman
said was that when coming to Mullica
Hill that morning he passed several
asparagus fields, where men were cut
| ting the grass. He used the Incl
dent as an illustration, showing that
| the inhabitants of the world in gen
eral will be no nearer ready for the
second coming of Christ than they
were for the first.
| Our public school closed last Friday.
| The teachers gave the scholars a gen
erous treat of cake and ice cream.
Both teachers have won the love and
respect of their scholars who were
profuse in their regrets at parting.
John A. Elliott, our accommodating
! blacksmith, is all smiles, since mes
sage reached him the latter part of
| the week telling of the birth of a
daughter, and that mother and babe
were doing WE'LL Mrs. Elliott is with
her parents in Maryland, but will be
home in about four weeks
Miss CIematine Clendenning has
been secured to teach EVAN school the
coming year. There will be but one
teacher to do the work that two have
done heretofore.
Edward Mullica, of Terrell, who has
been unable to work for the past six
weeks suffering with an abscess on his
hand, is slowly improving.
Mrs. Carson, of Millville, was sud-
denly taken ill while visiting her
daughter, Mrs. Henry Vanlear. Her
condition at present is considered pre-
carious.
The high winds the first of the

young plants, especially those set in
bleak places. A great many tomato
plants were broken off.
Mr. an Mrs. l. C. Smalley entertain
ed Mr.. Smalley's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
]. c. Smalley, Sr of Bridgeton, this
week.
Several of our townspeople attended
the funeral of Hiram Shute last Thurs
day.
Potatoes are very scarce and high
in this section.
No wonder Charlie Schlump wears
a broad smile after raising a family
of boys, the youngest eleven years
old The stork left little daughter
at their coy home last Saturday. This
| isn't all of Mr.. Schlump's good luck
either. He has the banner potato
| field in this section and is also making
good shipments of No. 1 asparagus
| for the first years cutting. Then he
got up one morning and found eight
nice little pigs, and on entering the
stable to feed UP at noon discovered
his cow had presented him with a
fine Alderny calf. We congratulate
Mr.. Schlump on his good luck.
The young men who have formed a
habit of gathering back of the public
school on Sunday mornings to play
cards had better move their quarters,
as they are being closely watched.
Steps will be taken to prosecute them
if they continue to desecrate the Sab
bath day in such a manner.
