LARGE LAUNDRY
WOULD OPEN HERE
Special Meeting Of Borough Council Held
Monday Night-Mr. John Risley, Of
Atlantic City Tells Of His Plans
HE VISITED STATE BOARD OF HEALTH

AT a special meeting of the Borough
Council held last Monday evening at
the council room in Red Mems Hall, Mr..
John Risley, of Atlantic City, whose
purpose it is to operate large laundry
here, employing from one hundred to
two hundred hands, mostly young girls,
gave an interesting talk of his plans
and of his recent visit to the State
Board of Health at Trenton.
The running of laundry of such large
proportions naturally necessitates the
consumption of large amount Of water,
both for washing and other purposes,
and when its usefulness ceases, must bc
disposed Of This has been the only
drawback thus far from the securing OF
the new industry. As Mr.. Risley has
explained, there must be some way to
dispose of this waste water. 1t was
for this purpose that he made the trip
to Trenton to discuss the subject of a
sewage system tor Pleasantville with
the Board of Health. If such system
can be installed here it VIII remove the
only obstacle, and at the same time be
Il great stride forward for Pleasantvile.
Mr. Risley said that he had laid great
stress upon the lengthy limits of the
Borough together with its scattered con-
dition and suggested that the mains be
laid only i'll the more congested sections
for the present, and, as conditions war
ranted it, complete the entire system
by sections, which the Board gave the
impression that it would approve. He
further stated that he had been assured
by them that it would only be mat
ter of few years before the Borough
would have to install a system, anyhow
and that they had remarked that they
had their eyes on Pleasantville.' Mr..
Risley said that he thought that if the
Borough could see its way clear to in
stall it a this time that it could be done
by forming stock company of local
capital, to which several interested spec
tatOrs agreed, and some even offered to
take part OF the stock.
No definite action was taken, but the
Council adjourned for later special
meeting, when Mr. John II. Decker, the
Atlantic City contractor, will be present
and enlighten the Council as to the prob
able cost, and as to what portion of the
Borough is most in need OF the drainage
at present, and he will at the same
time have before the Council his grade
map of Pleasantville, which very minute
~ describes what can and should be
done
1t is probable that some action will
be taken by Council at their next meet
ing.

BOYS DON'T

Don't forget that you are to be men
and husbands.
Don't smoke in the presence of ladies.
1t is never respectful.
Don't measure your respect to il per-
son by the clothes he wears.
Don't try to make your fortune BY
easier means than hard work.
Don't speak carelessly of a lady 5
character 1t is her only anchor.
Don't forget that the best and great
est man that ever walked the earth was
boy.
Don't haunt the lady of your choice
at Il ball, party or picnic. She has Ger
tain civilities to pay elsewhere.
Don't fix your stare i'll the fair ones
who pass along the streets. To stare at
anyone is not manly at all.
Don't neglect your business. Take
pains to do your work well. Good work
men are always in demand.
Don't sneer at the opinions of others.
You may learn wisdom from those fan
less pretentious than yourself.
Don't swear 1t is not necessary and
does no good. 1t is neither wise. manly
nor polite, nor agreeable to others.
Don't grow up to be soured old
bachelor, when there are SO many true
and lovely girls that will make such ex-
cellent wives.
Don't firt with young lady to whom
you are perfect stranger. 1t looks most
ridiculous; and you may get thrashed
for it some day.
Don't unnecessarily make enemies
The good will of dog is better than
his i'll will But don't cripple your in
dependence and your individuality To
please friends.

A GIRL OF THE MOUNTAINS

A Girl OF the Mountains" is some
thing new, something worth seeing. 1t
develops IA strong plot with very dra-
matte situations i'll such delicate and
picturesque style that one must at once
place it far above the ordinary drama.
An especially strong scene, one that will
grip its hearers, is brought about when
Nellie, the mountain girl, discovers that
she has been betrayed by Richard Thurs
ton, wealthy New Yorker. The scene
is most graphic and most telling and
bound to command unfagging attention.
The play is in four acts and comes
highly recommended by the press in the
cities where it has been seen.
The date at Nixon's Apollo is Monday
and Tuesday, Nov % and 20, with mat
inees daily.

Most of us have too much regard Tor
the good opinions we have Of ourselves.
Ii somebody else is the sufferer from
mans mistakes he never thinks them
serious.
Hewho dances must pay the fiddler
and usually about ten times as much as
the dance is worth.
Some people are never satisfied to
put off till tomorrow the things that
don't concern them today.
People are SO cussed they can enjoy
filling their own eyes with dust while
they are doing it to others.
A woman would rather admit she had
false teeth than that her shoes pinched

admit either.

PEOPLE GET THE HABIT

Some merchants think that advertising
space is only valuable when they are
having a special sale, but this is mis-
take. People get the habit Of reading
your ads. from week to week, and they
look for them the first thing when they
get the papers. Advertising of any kind
will not i'll the long run pay the fellow
who does not live up to his statements
and do just as he says he will. He must
have legitimate business and conduct
it upon business principles to make his
advertising pay him. Advertising is the
life of any business when it is done
right.
