Prinsburg, July 5-The annual
Fourth of July Mission picnic is a
thing of the past. Early in the
day a large crowd assembled on the
picnic grounds near the church
(July 81 and one could see by the
smiles of good cheer that they were
out for what really constitutes a
genuine good time. Not merely
by great noise, but by the hearty
expression of appreciation of the
sentiments of the Declaration; not
by the drinking of strong liquors;
and not by taking the name of God
in vain. as we so often hear in the
towns, but by a brotherly interest
in one another's happiness. About
$240 worth of refreshments were
sold and the ladies realized nearly
$50 from the sale of goods auc-
toned off in the afternoon. A
ball game between the Roseland

vor of Prinsburg. Fireworks was
the feature of the evening. Some
people from the Roseland. Bunde
and Emden congregations were
present and the pastors Of the two

speeches during the forenoon.

IS NEW JERSEY FREE srATE2

WASHINGTON. N. J., July 24.-An election is to be held in this town
 Monday and the state of New Jersey threatens dire results if the election does not go as the state desires. The election is to determine whether the town shall spend s60.00o for the con struction of sewage disposal plant or not. The state says that if the town doesn't adopt the proposition it will at once bring suit against the |, town for poliuting the Shabbecong creek. Individuals who are guilty will also be sued according to a let ter recently received by Mayor Smith from the state board
 Why the state should issue a threat in advance of the election is the question that puzzles the towns people. They say that if the state board wants to sue let 1t sue in the event of the improvement being turned down, but it is overstepping all bounds when it tries to influence the vote of the citizens in advance. It is the greatest case of coercion on a large scale. declare the prominent men of the town, that ever was the accompaniment ot an election.
