IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF
MARSHALL A. NUNNERY,

We your committee beg to submit the
following:
The brother whose name appears was
true member of the E. and G. U. of A.
Local No. I'll and was true to the prin-
ciples of the order. The fraternity will
greatly miss his presence at the lodge
and not only there but by his associates
and parents; he was kind to all with
whom he came in contact.
BrotherNunnery came to his untimely
death by the hands of unfriendly assas-
sins his bark had just been launched on
life's unknown sea, when it was dashed
upon the unknown rock and the dearly
beloved brother passed on to the great
unknown world, but we believe that the
dear brother has safely landed on the
golden shore, and we advise every rela-
tive to prepare to meet their God before
death shall claim them.
Respectfully submitted.
]. III. NUNNERY.

THE MASS MEETING.

A call has been issued by Mayor
s. l.. Peeler for mass meeting at
the court house tonight to name a
ticket for Board of Mayor and
Aldermen of Camden.
Since the call was issued we find
that the members of the old board,
with probably two exceptions, will
not stand for reelection.
This is a good opportunity for
our citizens to lay aside fractional
feeling and come together in a
spirit of harmony. AS we stated
last week, Camden has suffered in
the past by permitting personal
prejudice and petty politics to get
in the way Of progress.
Harmony should be the watch
word of the mass meeting tonight.
Let fairness prevail. Select six
good, broad minded citizens for a
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen,
and then let's unanimously elect
the ticket. In this way we can all
unite and pull together for the
upbuilding of our town and school

BREARLY CHAPTER
ELECTS OFFICERS.

At the meeting of Brearly Chapter
No. 6, Royal Arch Masons, this week,
the annual election of officers was held.
J, Ellsworth Long was elected High
Priest of the Chapter and Henry F.
Barth was elected secretary to succeed
Joseph s. Miner. Mr.. Miner served
Brearley Chapter as secretary for forty
seven years in succession, and estab-
lished record for the longest term of
service as secretary of any Masonic
fraternity in the United States, so far
as they have been able to learn. For
the past few years it has only been at
the earnest. solicitation of the Chapter
that he would consent to act as secre-
tary, This year Mr.. Miner declined
the Office absolutely. end it was with
regret that his reasons were accepted.
The Office of secretary calls him out
evenings when the chapter meets, and
on account Of his years the strain was
too great.
Daniel Bacon was again elected treas
urer, an Office which he has held for
several years. Mr.. Bacon is now the
Oldest officer of Brearley Lodge.

CITY PASTORS
have MEETING.

The Bridgeton Ministerial Associa-
tion held its annual meeting yesterday
afternoon after the Pastors Mission
Study Glass, in the First Baptist church.
Thirteen of the seventeen pastors in
Bridgeton were present. The Rev.
Dewitt Cobb, of Trinity M. E church,
was elected president as successor to
the Rev. Allyn, and Rev. Emil W.
Weber was reelected treasurer and
secretary
1t was decided that instead of holding
union meetings during the week Of
Prayer" as has been the custom here
tofore, union meeting for prayer con-
tinuing one week, will be arranged
with meetings in the evening, instead
of the afternoon, during the month of
February. During the Week Of Fay
er" the first week in January most of
our local churches have meetings every
evening and it's for that reason that the
pastors saw fit to postpone the union
meetings until the following month
The pastors feel that the Missionary
Campaign held during the beginning
of last month was a success and results
are beginning to be felt. One great
result is the Pastors Mission Study
Glass held every Tuesday afternoon at
1.30 in the First Baptist church. A
second result is the Normal Mission
Study Glass which will be a reality
hortly after the beginning of the New
Year. The purpose-of this class is to
train teachers to lead mission study
classes in the different local churches.
Each pastor will bel asked to seek one
or two who will take this training
course and then return to their own
church to lead class in mission study.

They show now some of the samples

there.
A trade journal, in an article on
the plant a few days ago, stated that
tho plant, on completion of the
bleachery will employ $50 hands, and,
to look over the immense buildings,
this statement does not look like an
exaggeration.
The machinery for the bleachery is
promised to be on the grounds in about
three weeks from this time.
Workmen are putting in the water
mains from East Lake and extending
the pipes throughout the building to
admit water as soon as the machinery
is ready.
