cured from Judge Alfred Elmer Mills
an order permitting him to file with

certificate showing his expenses at

might be elected.
The county judge is given the
power to grant to candidates permis-
sion to file such statements after
the time limit has expired if satisfied
of the illness or absence of the candi-
date or the illness, absence or death

NEW YEARS GLAD WELCOME
Bells, Whistles and Guns Wecome the
Birth of 1912.


Morristown's welcome to 1912 was
not vociferous. After the town clock
had struct the hour of midnight the
Methodist church bell rang out with
peal after peal, many citizens in vari-
Gus parts of the town discharged fire
arms, the whistles of the midnight
trolley car were footed joyfully and
groups of young men about the park
gave vent to their feelings with
shouts and hurrahs.
The last day of the old year was
far from pleasant. The snow of
Saturday night had turned into rain
and sleet and there was a mist over
everything most unpleasant. But at
midnight on Sunday the weather
cleared up and the new year was
ushered in by smiling moon
The ice and snow of Sunday made
hare going for the trolley cars. SUI
perintendent Ross had his men out
early clearing the tracks and car
No. 23, fitted up as a snow plow, be-
lied its number so far as the OBJ
structing of the tracks Was concerned
MaiE line cars were turned back at
Sussex avenue during the morning
hours, the short line care making
connections with them.
Street Commissioner Bowler finish
ed up his last day in office by hard
work. He was early on hand and
routed out "a force of men to clear
the park walks. the crossings and the
cutters.

BAPTIsTS GET $3.50, 900.
End Short Campaign to Raise Fund
for AGED Ministers.

Baptists got $3.50 900 Tuesday, hav-
ing completed a campaign of six
weeks successfully, and at their head
quarters, in Madison Square. it was
said Tuesday night that not only was
the sum in hand, but it was some
what oversubscribed. The finishing
touch was a telegram from Pennsyl-
vania which said $4,000 was in a
bank there, ready to be drawn upon.
The campaign was started by the
offer of $4,000 on condition that
others give $500. 900 by Christmas day.
The maker of the offer said he would
not extend the time The purpose
of the campaign was to help aged
ministers. There have long been
state agencies, but this was the first
of the Northern Baptist convention, a
body representing many states. IL
the list of beneficiaries missionaries
are included as we1 as ministekY.
The $250,000 is the beginning of a
luiu VI Pl,Uoo,VVV WHICH IL 10 hopCu
obtain within few years for this
purpose.
While most of the money was Sc
cured in the East, the West did mob
ly. The Baptists, as a whole, gave
this 100000 There were no large
gifts. Many persons had part in it..
Great credit is due the Rev. DR..
Henry L. Morehouse for his part in
it.
The part of DR.. Morehouse was a
gift of $4,000, if needed to meet the
conditions. The giver is one of the
best known home mission secretaries
in America, and the gift represents
the savings of "a lifetime.

day, one cent stamps being in the
lead, over $4,000 being sold OF this
denomination alone on one day.

WHO CAN ANSWER.
Query Regarding Removal of an Old
time Building.

Where was the building that stood
upon the site of the Methodist Epis-
copal church removed to? This query
is troubling several of our citizens
interested in oldtime buildings and
their history and opinions differ.
1t is asserted by some that the
building at No 5S Spring street, now
owned by Thomas H. Meskill is the
building that was removed from the
church site but others claim that this
building was moved from what is now
the new post office property. Who
knows?
