Still Fishing For Sturgeon.

Fishermen at Port Penn are still catch
ing sturgeon. They say they have just
as much right to enjoy the benifits of the
Delaware river as do the New jersey fish
ermen. During the past five days Harry
Yearsley caught a fish that Melted him
$125.
Walsh Barnard picked up three that
brought him $130, and two more stur-
geon were caught that psnned out $11O.
Sturgeon fishing this year has been
very profitable and some of the Port
Penn fisherman have fattened their
bank account by working hard. A fish,
erman said Monday: eff you are going to
fish then there is only n way to 80 and
that is all the time. In the summer you
must loose sleep to catch the sturgeon,
but with a snug sum in bank you can let
the elements howl in winter and sit back
and take it easy. Some Port Penn men
cleared over $500 each during the shad
season and a few have made more than
$500 each during the sturgeon season."

centage learned on the common stock

DUPoNTs GoBBLED A RIVAL
The Philadelphia Record says;
Unabashed by the tendency of the
suit to dissolve it as an unlawful com
bination, the Powder Trust has gobbled
up its most important rival. The LAT
iin-Rand Company has just been bought
and absorbed by the E. l. dupont de
Neumors Company at the price of So,
2O0,O00. The most remarkable thing
about the Sherman Antitrust law is
the contempt which the Trust show for
it and for the proceedings instituted

BASE BALL NEWS

PENIS GROVE l8-PEDRIcKTowN 0
The greatest ball game OF the season
was played last Saturday when the Ped
ricktown team came on a friendly visit.
1t was the greatest because Pedricktown
received the greatest defeat in it's history
while the P. A. AS had the easiest
bunch of the season. Pedricktown's star
twirler failed to arrive and it was report
ed he was in the balloon which went
over that afternoon SO the only thing
left for them to do, was to make an
ascension to meet him and this they did
in great, great shape.
While the Pedricktown boys were not
in shape for the locals, Graham put up
a fine game in the box and it was due to
the support given that the game was
such a defeat for u neighbors.
Dutton and Ward changed positions
and George put up a good game on third.
The only feature Of the game was Dut-
toms home run in the sixth.

 The Thanksgiving Table.
 What is more beautiful for the cen- ter of the dinner table on Thanksgfv- day Day. when the family is once more assembled to enjoy the good of the land. than a centerpiece of flowers. There are especially at this season of the year so many different kinds of cut flowers that may DC used and when one really thinks. that for a small expenditure they have some of these most beautiful flowers it seems hardly possible that any table should be- without them The principal flow CT at this time of the year is the chrysanthemum which certainly is a most gorgeous flower. and can be had in most every color. There are also the carnations. roses, paper white norcissus. lily of the valley. stevia, violets. etc. that look most beautiful when arranged on the table. In se- lecting these flowers. one should visit the florist shop If possible John Beck & Son are showing a most beautiful lot of those flowers for Thanksgiving at their store.
