china, glass ware, old fashioned clothing,
spinning and carding machines, with ex-
hibitions of home made linen and WOODEN

surprise to many who learned that Salem
county has artists Of merit.
Every town might collect a similar dis
play of old articles for an interesting X
hibiton.

A Great Inconvenience.

The new time schedule on the
Sonora railway works great incon-
venience to through passengers
arriving from the south at one
o'clock in the morning who are
compelled to arise at that unseemly
hour that the berths may be made
up and the passengers all subject
to inspection by the officers of the
immigration bureau When that
is done the berths are made down
again, and the sleepy passengers
return to them to get what rest
they can. A time schedule work
ing hardship so great to so many
of the travelling public cannot
continue very long.
There is prevalent a rumor that
the Treasury Department at Wash
ington contemplates enforcement
of a regulation said to exist at
other border ports, along both the
Mexican and Canadian boundaries,
which prohibits crossing by trains
except in daylight hours.
