WE SHALL MEET AND REST.

Where the faded flower shall freshen,
Freshen never more to fade;
Where the shaded sky shall brighten,
Brighten never more to shade;
Where the morn shall wake in gladness
And the noon the Joy prolong:
Where the daylight dies in fragrance.
Mid the burst Of holy song:-
Where the love that here we lavish.
On the whitening leaves Of time.
Shall have fadeless flowers to fix on.
In an ever spring bright cline:
Where we find the JOY Of loving.
AS we never loved before
Loving on unchilled. unhindered,
Loving once and evermore.
Where no shadow shall bewilder,
Where life's vain parade Is DER:
Where the sleep Of sin is broken,
And the dreamer dreams no more;
Where the child has found the mother.
Where the mother finds tie child:
Where the loved ones all are gathered,
That were scattered on the wild.

Arm and Leg BROKEN.

man whose identity has not been es.
tsblished is in West Jersey Homeopathic
Hospital, Camden, from shocking injuries
as the result of being kicked by horse at
Riverton early Friday morning.
The victim of the vicious animals IRON
shod hoofs, 1t Is said, wandered into the
stables of Collins & Son, opposite the
Pennsylvania Railroad station at River
ton, some time early Friday morning, un-
der the influence of liquor, evidently to
sleep off his carouse. 1t was his mis-
fortune to fall down In a stall which
quartered an ugly tempered horse, which,
so suddenly and abruptly disturbed, began
kicking at the intruder with its hind hoofs
with furious fusilads, battering him
frightfully from head to feet, leaving him
lying In the straw bloody and mangled
heap.
The fearful plight of the unfortunate
man was not discovered until the stable
was opened about $50 o'clock and after
being treated by Riverton physician he
was sent into Homeopathic Hospital on
the first train, the police auto meeting him
at the P. r. r. Terminal.
He was totally unconscious when carried
into Homeopathic Hospital and was at
once placed on the operating table. as 1t
was at once seen that immediate trephin-
Ing of the skull was imperative If his life
was to be saved at all which " az rerarded
as doubtful.
In addition to fractured skull the man
was found to have broken left arm and
leg. The fracture of the skull is CHASTITY
one, the top and back of his head being
crushed In.

Improve Washinpton street.


A petition will be presented to the town.
ship committee asking for improvements
to Washington street, west of King street.
1t Is requested that the narrow section Of
highway on the township line be widened
by filling both sides, SO as to afford proper
width for street and sidewalks. Another
request is that both sides of the street be
curbed with stone to the township line,
and that pavement of concrete or brick,
not less than five feet wide, be laid on
both sidewalks to the township line or at
least as far out on each sidewalk as houses
are built.
There is much reason in the request of
the citizens who seek the improvement of
that part of the town mentioned. The
section designated as "the pond" Is so mar
row that pedestrians are In danger when
going along that point. When trolleys,
automobiles or carriages meet there as is
frequently the case. 1t is dangerous to try
to walk along that part of the street,
there being no definite line of sidewalk.
The part of the town mentioned is ex-
tensively used. Beyond "the pond" are
two cemeteries and a church, which are
visited by many people who prefer to walk
the short distance rather than use the
trolley cars. For their protection some
thing ought te' be done at the hollow.
The improvements requested are not
only for the good of the property owners
along the line but will be benefit to the
town. The trolley line enters Mount
Holly through Washington street, and the
impression gained of the town If measured
by the sidewalks and the curbing cannot
be good. A glance at the old wooden
curbs, some places without curbs of any
description, dirt, mot grayeD sidewalks,
10 not calculated to inspire an extra opin-
Ion Of the town. The residences along the
liue are kept In good condition. and the
owners are perfectly willing to do all in
their power to build up the sidewalks, but
they want all to act together, not let one
do the work and the others go along in the
old style, nor do they want the township
to neglect its duty In aiding to improve.
Let something be done In this matter at
once. Let the township fill up at the
township line and lay out sidewalk there.
Then give the residents paving line and
see that attention Ia paid to such ordin-
ances as NAV be adopted

A reward Of 800 has been offered for
the recovery Of the body of Miss NJ. G.
Sutterly. a teacher at st. Mary's Hall,
who mysteriously disappeared from Bur-
lington on March I'd.
Fair weather was enjoyed ON Easter
but the day was too blustery for comfort
In this vicinity. Hundreds of pots filed
with beautiful flowers were blown over
by the high wind in the several cemete-
ries. Extra music was rendered In con-
nection with the various church services,
and In each case the floral displays were
attractive. Special Easter services of an
interesting character were held by the N.
e. Sunday school In the morning, and the
same conditions prevailed in the evening
at the Presbyterian church. A large au
dience at the Baptist Church gave special
attention to the cantata, From Death to
Life" as rendered by the choir, which
was augmented by local talent. and as
sisted by the following soloists: Miss Ray
Murtha, soprano; Miss Blanche Hughes,
and choir leader; Mr.. Leopold,
tenor; Mr.. Page, bass Miss Bessie An.
derson presided at the organ.

Retreat.

30 far there has been only one forest
fire in our township this year.
Miss Stella Wells enjoyed a visit to
friends at Mount Holly, on Friday.
There is rumor that telephone line il
to pass through Retreat. and that connec.
tions will be made with the Vincentown
and Tabernacle Telephone Company.
1t is seid that Game Warden Charles G.
Morton, of Mount Holly, will 5000 liberate
some pheasants and quail In this locality.
Such move on the part of the warden
will be appreciated by the Retreat sports
men, who feel somewhat sighted in this
respect, because of the fact that since the
creation of the Fish and Game Commits
sion, no birds haYe been liberated here.

Hearing on Tax Matters.

To-day there will be a hearing before
the State Board of Taxation at Trenton to
ascertain what method can be adopted to
require the authorities of Bass River
township to render tax bills to persons
who own lands In that township. There
has been considerable complaint on this
score lately and the County Board of
Taxation is appealed to almost daily for
Information respecting lands which the
person appealing claims to own but for
which he says he ia not able to get a tax
bill.
A sample of these letters Is here given:
Board OF Assessors, Mount Holly. N. J.
dentlemen:-Will you kindly advise
me what Is the amount of taxes In arrears
ON five lots, Nos. 20 to 80, inclusive. said
lots being known and designated in map

formerly belonging to the Grant CITY
Realty Company, Of New York city. I
would thank you to look up this matter
Tor me, and let me have your response at
your earliest convenience. inasmuch as
this is certain matter of some Importance
to my client"
This letter was signed by New York
lawyer, and is only one of the many that
are constantly received. Similar letters
are sent to the collector of Bass River
township, and as the writer very frequent
ly neglects to enclose stamp for a reply
1t would take the salary of the collector
for long time. to pay the postage on
replies.
The real estate inquired after is
generally what was known as "The Ap-
plebY Estate" but 1t has been sold and
resold and transferred SO many times 1t is
hard work to get any sort of an intelligent
idea Of where or what 1t is. The tract
was laid out very beautifully on paper,
but when you want to locate any partic-
ulsr plot 1t Is impossible to do so. Assess.
ment is made on the entire tract as acreage
and the plot has been sold once or twice
for taxes
Owing to the manner In which the titles
to this plot of land are vested the author
tiles of Bass River appear to be powerless
to get any definite information on the
subject and the hearing to-day will prob
ably devise some plan whereby the matter
may be righted.

Took H,a Own Life

Joseph r. Atkinson, mason, In his
AID year, committed suicide on Saturday
by swallowing 3 quantity of laudanum.
but where he obtained the deadly drug
has not been learned.
He had been Lying with Edward Justin,
but was forced to leave there over two
week ago, and since that time his home
was wherever he could hang up his hat.
Justin had public sale of his effects on
Saturday, and 1t Is said that Atkinson was
the cause Of his home being broken up.
For some time past Atkinson had been
drinking quite heavily, and when chided
by policeman for starting In on an early
Easter spree. said he was getting matters
In shape for Sunday, as If to indicate that
was the time he had fixed to take his life.
While In the cigar store of Bert Wells,
on Thursday night, Atkinson plainly
showed that he was laboring under
melancholy condition, and by his talk
made 1t apparent that something unusual
was going to happen. He said he had no
~SA~-Sb " 40 NoSOASe0 Wy ALACuub ouu was
tired OF living such life.
1t seems that since he was turned away
from the Justin home, Atkinson had been
spending some of his nights In the tool
house of his cousin, Stacy Atkinson, of
Water street. and 1t was on Saturday
morning about seven o'clock that Joseph
Witcraft and other neighbors heard groans
coming from that direction. On arriving
at the building they found the young man
unconscious, but the belief that his life
could be saved was not realized and death |
relieved the sufferer half hour later.
Deceased leaves wife, from whom he
has been separated for many years, and |
TWO sons. Arthur, aged II years, and |
Harry, who is 10.
Joseph r. Atkinson served In the United |
States army for three years, and during
hat time saw service in the Spanish
American war. He was also a member of |
Company e, Third Regiment, National
Guard, of Mount Holly.
The remains will be inferred this after
loon In the Brotherhood cemetery.

War "reminiscences.

Fifty years ago, on April II, 1861, Fort
Sumpter was fred upon.
Fifty years ago this country was Just
awakening to the shock of the greatest
war that had ever been fought.
In this Semi Centennial Year The In.
Qufrey will print continuous story of the
momentous events of that period which
altered the history of this country if not
of the entire world.
A complete History of the Civil War re-
told in graphic and dramatically interest
ing manner by an expert historian.
The entire narrative of the great con-
fict, as told by war correspondents of The
philadelphia Inquirer in the field from
1861 to 1865, will be told with historical
accuracy in the light of later develope-
ments.
This is not the story of the war reprint
ed day by day and lasting through the
long drawn out period of nearly five years.
From the firing upon Sumpter, in April
81, to Bull Run, in July 81, no critical
tests of the strength of the two great
armies occurred, the period being occu-
pied mostly with recruiting and some few
minor skirnishes and battles.

Farm Bows Challeneed

Jerry Moore, aged is, produced, during
the summer of 1910, 2283 bushels of corn
on one acre on farm located In what Ia
known as the Nations Garden Spot" on
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, near
Winons, Florence county, 8. G.
This establishes new worlds record of
corn produced by boys. What Jerry
Moore has done can be repeated and posi-
bly, excelled, by the boys who are entering
the corn growing contest conducted this
season for all boys from II to IS years of
age, inclusive, In Burlington county and
Plumstead township, Ocean county.
The average yield for corn In New Jer-
sey is thirty-six bushels to the acre accord
ing to the report Of the State Board of
Agriculture. This average yield Ia ex-
tremely low and the County Committee of
the Young Mems Christian Association Of
Burlington county through their Agricul-
tural Committee composed of Henry p
Thorn, of Medford, as chairman, Ezra
Evans, of Medford, Elgsr Buzby, of Ran
cocas, and Walter Kirby, of Columbus,
are cooperating with the boys on the farm
to show them the wonderful possibilities
of the farm life. To-day the boys of the
rural districts must be better farmers than
their fathers as these boys will be the far
mers of tomorrow.
The interest among the boys in the
corn growing contest is increasing
daily. Prizes have been offered ranging
from three to ten dollars for the largest
and most perfect 10 ears, for the largest
yield per acre and for the least cost Of
growing per bushel based upon one-quar-
ter acre under cultivation.
County Secretary Otis B. Read states
that the contest Is still open and 1t is de-
sired that every boy who has not as yet
sent in his application will do so at once.
You boys on the farms of Burlington
county are challenged to beat the record
Jerry Moore. You can do 1t. VIII you ?

Beer Arks" may ply their trade I'M
molested Ia any town in the state hereaf-
ter, If Governor Wilson signs Assembly
bill No. So This bill was defeated once
but Senator Fielder brought 1t up again,
and spoke In It's favor. Senator Gebhardt
made an eloquent speech in opposition to
the bill. He declared 1t would enable the
liquor men to sell their wares In all of the
dry" towns, like Asbury Park, Bridge
ton and Vineland, and 1t would be great
victory for the liquor men. "Any man
who votes for this bill will live to regret

Nichols also opposed the passage of the
bill vigorously as bad measure. The
bill was finally passed by vote of II to 4.
Those who voted against 1t were Gebhardt,
Nichols, Plummer and Lewis.
