The Summer Meeting and Field
Day of the New Jersey State Board
of Agriculture,s of the Oranges and

held for four years with success at

All farmers and their friends

OBITUARY.
DANIEL L. PINE.


One Of the oldest residents of Glou-
cester county passed away when
Daniel L. Pine died on Tuesday morn
ing, of this week after an illness of
more than year, and one of the best
read men in the county; sterling
upright man and good citizen pass
ed to his reward. He was born on
the Eagle Point Farm, at Red Bank,
September Z. 1927, and celebrated the
S4th anniversary of his birth on last
Thursday. His mother died two
weeks after he was born and he was
taken to the home of his grand-par-
ents, near Clarksboro, where he grew
up, and as a boy attended the famous
Friends School at Mickleton, which
in those days was a great institution
and was famous for thorough instruc-
tion in fundamental principles The
building is still standing, and used for
school purposes. Later, he went to
school in Philadelphia, taking up
mathematics as special work, but
in this he soon outstripped the teach
er and gave up that part of his stud
les.
He next taught school for a time
at Medford, N. j., where he married
one of his pupils. The young couple
moved to Camden in 1851, and he
learned the trade of brick-laying, fol-
lowed it for few years. Later,
when the cement business began to
develop, he engaged in it and one of
the first jobs on whichehe was engaged
was that at the Court House here. He
engaged in the business for himself
and was actively employed at it un-
til illness last summer compelled him
to hand it over to his SON Mr.. Pine
had been a resident of Woodbury.
since 1885.
Few who came in contact with him
knew what was going on in the re-
cesses of his mind He, had been a
great reader from boyhood and in his
young days such famous authors as
Addison, Steele, Johnson, Goldsmith
and others of their periods were his
favorites. These he read and knew;
he could quote long passages and was
master of what he said; he spoke a
good English, gained from wide read
ing, and the various papers which he
wrote for historical societies, etc.,
were always we'll done. He knew
very we'll the history of Gloucester
county, and remembered things which
most men forgot. He attended the
Friends Meeting, although not a
member; he lived an upright life; he
did what he could and has now gone
to his reward.
He is survived by three children
VIM. B.. HI. H.. and Miss Edith.

Memorial to Former Gloucester Co.
ROy.

'.The good, as we'll as the evil, that
men do lives after them" The mem
ory of Courtney Bransford Taggart,
youngest son of William S. and Sarah
NJ. Taggart, of Washington, D. c.,
and formerly of Clarksboro and Wood
bury, was fittingly honored the other
day in Washington on the anniversary
of Courtney's death.
1t will be remembered that he saved
two girls from drowning in the Po-
tomac river below Washington, but
paid for their lives with his own.
There was printed, on August %,
1911, in the Washington Star to
which paper Courtney was a regular
contributor of notes on athletics, the
following anniversary notice. of his
death:
Mr.. Reside, of the American Sc
curity and Trust Company, is plan
ming meeting of the base ball team
in memoriam of Courtney Taggart,
who met a tragic death one year ago
last Thursday. 1t is not often that
/ a ball player is held in such esteem
by the other members of his team
that a year after his death they meet
to commemorate his ability as an ex-
ponent of the sport he loved, and to
show the esteem and high regard in
which he was held by those whom he
was so closely associated.
Taggart was a graduate of Central
High School, and while there was rat
ed as one of the best scholastic pitch
ers in the city. His work in the box
attracted great deal of attention,
and when he left school and began
work with the American Security and
Trust Company he was looked upon
as one of the best pitchers in the Dis
trict. His work was a distinct fea-
ture of the games played in the Bank
ers' League. Taggart while at the
high school was one of the most pop-
ular and well liked fellows in that
institution, and while with the Amer
tican Security and Trust Company he
maintained the same high opinion of
I himself in the minds of others.
1t is doubtful if there was ever a
man more liked by his comrades, and
more esteemed by all who knew him
than was Courtney Taggart, and while
his death was tragic, it was one which
only real man could have had. AS
long as those who knew him live the
memory OF Courtney Bransford Tag
gart will be honored, respected and
loved
The slnemorial meeting referred to
was held, and these resolutions were
adopted
Washington, d. c., Aug. 20, 1911
WHEREAS, Our friend and co-em-
ployee, Courtney b. Taggart, in
Gods great wisdom, was removed
from us August "a, 1910, in an act
of great heroism in saving two lives
from drowning, and
WHEREAS, His association with us
and the manner of his death have
left with us great admiration for
his character, therefore be it
RESOLVED. By his friends and CO.

Resolution of Protest.

Board of Education, Woodbury., New


Jersey, DR.. T. e. Parker, Sec'y.
Dear. Sir: At the sixteenth annual
meeting of the class of '95 Woodbury.
public school, held on Saturday even
ing, Sept. 9th, 1911, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted
and copy of same ordered presented
to your honorable board.
WHEREAS, We understand that the
rebuilt High School building is to
be renamed 'The Woodbury. High
School, instead of the William Mil
ligan School" to whose memory it
was originally dedicated, and
WHEREAS, We feel that this action is
being taken without due regard
given to the wishes or feeling of the
multitude of former pupils and
friends of William Milligan; and
WHEREAS, We feel that not only
would the change in name be a dis
courtesy to his memory, the building
having been originally dedicated to
him, but it would also in a sense
detract from the prestige of the
school, giving it an abstract instead
of concrete individuality, without
any benefit accruing therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That we, as a class,
believing that we represent the senti-
ment of hundreds of others, do hereby
protest against changing the name
the rebuilt high school to "The Wood
bury High School," and hereby petit
ton your honorable board to recon
slider this question if it has already
been decided, and if not to permit the
school to remain known as THE Will
lam Milligan School" thereby perpet-'
uating the memory of man whose
personality endeared him to all with
whom he came into contact; whose in
fiuence for good among rising genera
ations was far reaching and whose lab
ors as an educator made him a prom
lnent figure for years in this city and
county. The honor once conferred
upon his memory by the citizens Of
Woodbury. was intended to endure.
WHY WITHDRAW IT NOW?
Surely this is but a slight recon-
pense We ask for the memory of this
prince among men, and we believe the
continuance of his honored name in
connection with the institution in
which his life work was spent and
which means so much to the city, as
its high school, will furnish lasting
lesson in moral integrity, faithful SER:
vice and good citizenship to our chill
dren's children.

Big Corn Crop

Farmers are discovering that the
corn crop, now being cut up, is the
biggest ever. Not because the ears
are larger, but because so many
stalks yield two perfect ears. This
is very unusual, indeed SO rare is a
stalk with two perfect ears, that a
man yesterday said he had never
been able to find one. This morn
ing Thomas G.. Dilkes, of the County
Tax Board, brought UP two stalks
each bearing two perfect ears, and
says they are numerous in his field.

Neat Tramps

l thought, perhaps, it would inter-
est your readers to know that while
Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Harker, of neas
Almonesson, were away, on Monday
last, what is supposed to have been
tramps, entered the house, cooked
their supper, cleaned everything MP
and put things in order before they
departed. What is most surprising
is the fact that they had free use of
the silyerware, but did not carry
any away, Oblige,
