a brief address to the members of
the Horace Greeley Lodge, Knights
of Pythias, in which he said:
''When l joined the Knights
Of Pythias, which was the first frater-
nifty | eve joined, l was conscious Of
violating a kind of implied promise to
my wife. When she was my sweet

didn't belong to any secret societies
and so was not liable to 60 away
from hoae in the evening. I did
not say it very loud and was not con-
scious that she paid any particular at

went home about daylight after join

More "Buzz Wagons

To see the numerous automobiles
whizzing around our streets almost
makes q fellow believe he is out
among Kansas farmers, where such
things are as common as wagons
and buggies. People are learning all
the time, that the automobile is one
of the most useful things they can
have, either in the country or in
town. There has been some pre-
JUDGE, of course, as many horses are
afraid of them. However, they will
soon get used to them, in fact parties
who run machines tell us that it is
surprising how rapidly horses are get
ting used to them. Proper care, used
by all, will soon bring every thing
about all right. It's probably better
to have our own people, who are
neighbors and friends, work the prob
lem out than to work it out with stran-
gers, for the country is going to fill
up with these Oilers" and a person
is liable to meet them anywhere and
at any time. 1t is said that in Kan
sas, Nebraska, Iowa and other parts
of the country, where machines are
common, that horses pay very little
attention to them. Quite "a number
OF new automobiles are going to be
bought in different parts Of the coun-
ty. We are anxious to see our farm
ers, who are abundantly able, take
hold of them. No one can get more
benefit out of them in. tho way of
pleasure and business than the farm
er. They save his horses, enable him
to do his marketing quickly, or go
long distances to see his friends in
the time that usually he would spend
to the depot. It's certainly a
recreation that give the people who
work hard, a much longer lease on
as well as a much better time
while they do live. Everybody
knows how our own people here. in
town enjoy them. We only wish we
mad the .'scads" ourself. We'd sure
stir up the dust while the gasoline
held out. The Improvements in
cars have been so many and SO good,
that new cars are giving their owners
very little expense or trouble. One
here has been that a good
many of the cars that our people have
were worn out before they
got here. Then they were the old
patterns and more of an experiment
than anything else. Somebody give
us a ''buzz wagon"

DRUGGIST TO QUIT.
DR.. William c. Fink to Leave Pail
SADIE Because He Could Not
Build Up a Trade.

DR.. William c. Fink, proprietor Of
the Pal1sade Pharmacy at the juno
ton, announces that he will close his
store here and leave to open again at
Edgewater Heights. Dr. Fink gives
as reason for closing that he could
not build up a satisfactory trade be-
cause of conditions at present exist
ing. Many people not approaching
the value and convenience of a drug
store to the community were in the
habit Of buying most of their drug
store demands at the cut rate stores
of New York, so that he was cut out
of large volume of business to which
he would ordinarily be entitled. DR..
Fink came to Palisade with a fine
reputation as druggist, and citizen,
which he has borne out, and has built
UP here among certain families a very
satisfactory trade. But these were in
the minority, and the business was
actually losing money. DR.. Fink's
leaving is almost a public calamity
for many who were dependent upon
him for prescriptions and druggist
sundries, and it will prove a hardship
for them to have to go elsewhere for
their demands. There are other causes
besides those mentioned that forced
DR.. Fink's removal, but which he did
not wish discussed He has ALWAYS
treated everybody with perfect cour-
tesy, and has made many friends here
who wish him all prosperity wherever
he may cast his lot. His store in
Palisade was by far the finest in North
New Jersey. 1t is to be hoped that
some one may start another drug
store soon. DR.. Fink says the extra
five cents or ten cents he was com
PEELED to add to some articles, was
necessary, as it would be impossible
for him to compete with the cheap
prices of department. stores. AS a
matter of pride the people should
give him better support. AS he does
not leave till September, it would be
ample time now to save the store to
the town if everybody would chip in
and buy everything needed from Dr.
Fink. We ought to hold him by all
means
