CARRIERS
LEAVE FOR MEET
Twelve in Local Delegation
Which Will Attend Convention
of National Association.

A delegation of twelve l~etter-carriers
from the local organization left at 2:2s
a. m. today from the Hoboken ter
minal of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad on their trip to
st. Paul, Mimi, where the seventeenth
annual convention of the National As
ISOLATION of Letter-carriers is to be held
from Monday, August 80, to Saturday,
September 4, Inclusive.
The chairman of the group is Frank
c. Drake, of 56 Ninth avenue. The
others are James Kay, clerk of the re-
+. Frey. of 20 Magazine street, financial
secretary of the local association; Ed
ward Hartmann, vice-president, of I
North Seventh street; Moses Gansler,
of is Fifth street; William j. Klingel, Of
81 Rutgers street; John ]. Davey, of
as Lafayette street; Sidney V. Conway,
orator, of 125 Polk street; Joseph J..
Fitzpatrick, president of the local or
ganization, Al Bruce street; Andrew
Farley, of II Hudson street; Charles S.
-'iSS' u U GCy iiiOhl avenue anu ~
seph l.. Hutchings, of 226 South Eighth
street.
The trip to st. Paul will be relieved of
Its monotony by stops in some of the
cities the delegation will visit. After
arriving in Buffalo in time to see the
Tigers have another try at their old
time enemies, the night boat to Detroit
will be taken. They will spend the
most of the following day sightseeing
In Detroit, and will arrive in Chicago
in time to spend a few hours there on
Sunday. The last day of their journey
will see them In st. Paul at 1915 o'clock
Monday morning.
The convention is now held every
two years, and a hot fight is expected
this year on the national ticket. Some
say that the present officers will be re-
elected almost to a man, but sentiment
in the main seems to favor a com
plete change in the slate. Rumors have
been rife in the local postoffiee that
some of the members of the Newark
delegation are to be nominated for a
high office. If this is so, there is a
fair nance hat when the bunch"
comes back one or two of them will
have added titles to their names. =.
A majority OF the delegates will start
on the return trip on Monday, Septem-
Der 6, going by the all-rail route
through Canada direct to Niagara
Falls, where they will spend a few
days, staying over Labor Day. Several
of the members will be met by their
wives at the Falls, and will not re-
turn until September Is, when the time
limit expires.

her death. Then the boy slowly raised
the weapon to her head and pulled the
trigger. AS she toppled over insensible

In this issue appears the an- nouncement of Judge s. T. Hol- loway as a candidate for re- election to the office of County and Probate Judge.
 Judge Holloway has filled the office for the past two years and refers with pride to his record as an official.
 Judge Holloway is a clever, courteous gentleman and has striven hard to please in this trying office.
 The withdrawal of Judge T. c. Trice from the race for county and probate Judge, notice of which appears elsewhere in this issue, leaves Judge Holloway with no opposition for re-elect- ion. a distinguishing compliment which no other candidate in the county enjoys, and which in sures his election to thls most honorable and responsible office.

RICE BO0nINCl
Everything Points To A Wonderful Activity In
 Rice Planting.

Inc rlce growers are getting stronger and stronger each day. the prospective acreage is grow ing larger.
 The local capitalists who form ed a company and bought several hundred acres of land around Brlnkley in order to try rice cul- ture on the cut off land are going ahead with the work. MT H. L. D. Whitson is associated with them as partner and manager and he IS busy every day now getting things ready.
 Walter Dickson, who moved up on the prairie north of here last Christmas, to engage in the culture, was here this week. He had in 75 acres but owing to dis advantages, it being his first year he really got only about 65 acres in and off of that got 430O bush- els, all of which he sold for more than $1.00 per bushel. For next year Mir. Dickson is arranging to put in 100 acres. He says that there are 15 new rice wells going to be put in, around him on the prairie.
 Miss Blanche McCreight has been quite sick during the past week, but is again able to be up.
 Fred Roescher and Louis Shuts, who are students at Qua chita College at Philadelphia, will return home tonight to spend the holidays.
