bucking contest, and it was good
one. Mickey Green, of Gilt Edge, was
the first rider TO appear. He had a
genuine outlaw, and the animal bucked
all over the field, but Mickey piloted
him around all right, and finally dis
charged the bride, riding the animal
with a halter.
Rider Dougherty had little chance
to display his skill. His mount was
so wild that it was necessary to throw
and tie the bronc before he could be
saddled, and this experience rather
took the ginger out of the steed.
After a few preliminary twists, the
animal developed case of sulks, and
declined to move. Some time later
Dougherty took off the saddle and
rode the horse bareback.
The final exhibition was given by
Al Morgan, and he had his hands full
for a few minutes. This outlaw in
troduced all the fancy steps known to
his tribe, but Al was always on the
hurricane deck and demonstrated his
complete mastery over the bronc.

THE BOARD WILL HALT
TRUANCY IN NEW WAY

Pleasantville's Board of Education are
determined upon enforcing this States
Compulsory Educational Act. The mem
bers have engaged Mr.. Geo. Snyder, who
has served in several positions where
diplomacy was required. He was select
ed by the Board because Of his ability
to use gray matter when dealing with
parents and guardians Of children who
fail to take necessary interest in the pub
lie schools.
In Riverside, n. j., the Board of Edu-
cation have adopted an effective way of
breaking up truancy. Each month the
names of the truant children and the
names of their parents and guardians
will be advertised in local papers
The local Board have decided to adopt
this same course and The Weekly Press
has been selected as the medium i'll
which to make known names of the tru-
ants and of parents and guardians. 1t is
believed that this method should have
salutatory effect, for it will surely re-
fleet upon the management of the child
ren.
Truant officer Snyder will be author
ized to hand to The Press the necessary
list of names and these will be printed
at stated intervals.

It is estimated by the Water Com

neighborhood Of from $4,000 to 5000.
It will be necessary to secure land lying
in Pleasantville Borough and Egg Harbor
Township. This is said to be owned BY
Eliza Penderghast. the Delaney Company,
James Tilton, and the heirs Of James
Boice, Sarah Boice, Mark Boice, Sadie
