The Cove Store Closed.
Some Business and Family History
Recalled.


Recalled.
Sum merill's store at South PENIS
Grove, which has been conducted for six
and a half years by S. R. Leap and Son
was closed last Saturday with no pros
poets at present ef~it being re-opened.
William Steward, who has been in charge
there for four and a half years, took
charge of James Sweeten, Jr's store at
Union Corner ON Wednesday, succeeding
William Becker. George w. Davis man
aged it one year and Jere Long another
year for Leap & Son who began business
there in August, 1904.
George W. Davis bought the business
OF John Summerill & Bro. and managed
it for himself about two years.
This is the oldest business stand in
Penn's Grove, a store having been kept
there for over 10 years. The shallow
cove at the side OF the river with a pretty
sandy shore made a most favorable har-
Dor for sailing craft, to load and unload
wood, grain and farm produce before any
wharf was built.
The Oldest record of deeds in the
county shows that JOHN Mounsen owned
a strip Of land fronting on the river from
Divers point to the creek below and ex-
tending back to the first cross road near
ly a mile. On his death in 1858 the pro-
perty went by will to his grand daughter,
Catharine Helms. Until the Borough
was incorporated in 1894, the settlement
was commonly called Helms Cove, for
Catharine Helms who willed the prop
erty unsold to her grand daughter Cath
arine Hoover who married Michael Walk
er. Thence it descended to Robert and
Francis Walker.
Michael and Catharine Walker, who
undoubtedly started a store there before
1900, decided 1.85 acres OF land on which
the store stands to Adam Harbeson,
father of our aged citizen, Elijah Harbe-
son. In 1905 Mr.. Harbeson sold it to
Samuel Burden, who conducted the store
until his death. In 1919 Michael Walker,
administrator of Samuel Burden, sold the
store to James Sherron.
Samuel Burden was the grand father of
John L. Burden and Anna, wife of
Charles Leap who died a few weeks ago.
Samuel Burdens daughter Mary married
Thomas Flanagan and became the mother
OF twelve boys and three girls. Those
who survive are Thomas j. Charles and
Joseph G. Flanagan. Elijah Harbeson's
mother was Margaret Burden, a half Sis
ter to Mrs. Flanagan.
James Sherron conducted the store at
the Cove until 1929, when John Sum-
merrill 2ad bought the store and his son
John SuImmerilI 3rd conducted business
there until his death in 1865. Then his
sons John Summerill 4th and Joseph e.
Summeriil kept the grocery and dry
goods store until 1902, when George W.
Davis took charge. John Summerill
died March 5, 1907, and Joseph G. Sum
merrill October s., 1909. Mrs. Sarah
Kaighn Summerill, widow OF Joseph G..
SummerilI, owns the property which was
the leading business part OF Penn's Grove
for fifty years and where it has ceased
after being started over ITO years ago.
1t is one of the most pleasant locations
along the Delaware river.

The attendance in the first primary
was unusually small last Monday because
of the snow. 1t is usually from 4S to 80
daily. While some started in January.
Others who came in the fall have not
been present since Christmas.
The parents should feel deeply con-
cerned about their children's advance
ment, and in order for their advancement
a regular attendance is needed. Besides
they should keep i'll mind that the Bor-
ough gets pay from the state money for
every day a pupil is present and looses
every day the child is absent.
At least one hours undisturbed study
outside the school session is necessary
daily for the average pupil in grades 5 to
s to make good progress. Pupils in the
high school should give two hours to un-
disturbed study outside of the school
session to make good progress.
Some may think it would be economy
to dispense with the high school and
send the pupils to Woodbury.. The ac-
count would be as follows.

1t will be seen that the school money
which the state apportions and the re-
ceipts OF the high school pupils from Old
mans and Upper Penns Neck townships
about meet the expenses OF maintaining a
high school, excepting the cost of erect
ing and maintaining a building.
The expense Of sending 40 high school
pupils to Woodbury. would be about as
follows. Woodbury. would charge $40
for each pupil. The state provides $25

The three high school teachers spend
at least $456 for board besides other
money, on which the house keepers and
merchants receive a profit. That would
be lost as well as the $3.50 which would
have to be paid for tuition and railroad
fares.
The state apportions 5000 for a super
visor and only $500 for a teacher below
the high school. A grammar school
principal would be required for at least
$500 a year. As the state grants only
5000, the remaining $500 would have to
be raised by Borough taxation. The
state apportions 5000 for a supervisor. AT
$1,000 salary the Borough has to provide
5000. At present the supervisor spends
one day a week in the township which
will pay one-ffth, $l20.

SAVED LIVES OF
l47,OOO PEOPLE
TODAY is FoRTlETH ANNlVER-
SARY OF ESTABLISHMENT OF
THE LIFE SAVING
SERVICE.

Washington. ID. c., April 20.-Today
marked the fortieth anniversary of the
establishment Of the United States
life-saving stations ON the coasts of
Long Island and New Jersey, and TO
employ crews Of trained surfmen at
"a compensation not TO exceed $40 a
month.
Subsequent legislation has extended
the service of all the ocean and lake
coasts Of the country. At the close
OF the last fiscal year the life saving
establishment embraced PSI stations
POI being on the Atlantic coast. 60 on
the lakes, 19 on the Pacific coast, and
ono at the falls of the Ohio, Louisville.
Since 1871 the life savers have given
aid in nearly 22,OOO ship disasters in
which $4,000 persons were involved
and property valued at $E35, ,O0O. 900
saved. The cost of the maintenance OF
the service is about S2,250,OOO a year.
The general superintendent OF the
service is Sumner l. Kimban, who has
held this position ever since il was
created forty years ago, and in his
annual reports there has appeared
more unintentional romance than in
any other documents that come from
the government printing office.

KAzoo ASYLUM REPORT.
Patients Well Treated, But Business
Methods are Faulty.

Lansing, Mich, April 20.-'rhe COM
mittee that investigated the Kalama-
zoo asylum states in its report that
in the provisions purchased for the
institution and the dietary nothing
wrong was found, the patients being
well fed and well taken care of. Con-
tinuing, the committee states:
"The evidence clearly discloses there
exists no line of demarlSation between
the funds as they are used i'm the in
stiution. There is unanimity of opin-
ion among the witnesses who testified
on this subject that current expense
is used for special appropriation. The
evidence does not disclose that during
all the years through which the tes
timony carried the committee, that
either a building or a single improve
ment was completed within the ami
cunt originally or subsequently pro-
vided by special appropriation of the
Legislature. Several appropriations
are mentioned which, 1t is charged,
were used for purposes different from
what the amounts were appropriated
for The committee states that coal
IS purchased for the institution at APP
proximately the price that IL could be
purchased from loce dealers. II is
added that $4,000 worth is used each
year and the committee says:
mo bids are obtained for furnish
ing coal and the method of purchas-
ing the same would seem to be any
thing but business-like.'
Steward Hoffman testified that every
act on his part was under the author
ity of the board of trustees, and every
thing he did was approved by the
board The committee says this was
admitted by members of the board
sworn. except that Member Bell<nap
"did not wish to be understood as au-
thorizing acts which were unlawful"
"The testimony clearly discloses
that the accounts have not been kept
in accordance with the letter of the
law. The system Is not necessarily at
fault but the method of juggling funds
would render any system Of account
| ing inadequate il present conditions
are permitted to continue"
| To this the committee comments
that the present system of bookkeep-
| ing does not disclose to the state nor
the people the proper knowledge of
the accounts of the institution. II is
charged that the farm, garden and
stock fund is never reported to the
auditor general nor considered a part
of the current expense fund.
