New Agent for drosveuordaIe Company

John f. Reardon of Millville, n. j.,
has assumed his duties as agent of the
Grosvenordale Company at North
Grosyenordale.
MIR. Reardon has been agent for the
Millville Manufacturing Company, a
concern doing a prosperous business.
The rise of Mr.. Reardoniis an example
of what may be accomplished by per-
sonal effort and energy. He was born
in Manchester, n. H., in 1857, and
while a mere boy began to work as a
mill hand for the Amoskeag Manufac-
turing Company, one of the largest
textile concerns in the world.
In short time, by reason of faithful
and efficient service, he was advanced
to be second hand of the carding de-
partment of the concern, and later,
Feb. 9, 1903, he went to Millville as
overseer of the carding department. In
September, 1896, he was promoted TO
be superintendent of the MILL In
1889 he left Millville to become super
intendent of the Falls Company's mill
in Norwich, succeeding Marcellus
Gould. He remained there for three
years.
Jan. l, 1908, Mr.. Reardon returned
to Millville and assumed the superin-
tendency of the cotton department OF
the Millville Manufacturing Company
In 1904 he was elected member of the
city council of Millville from the
Third ward and served for six years,
making one of the best councilmen
that the city had ever had.
At the Millville mills Mr.. Reardon
had about $50 employees under his di-
rection, but in the Grosvenordales he
will be at the head of concern that
has l, 800 employees.
His departure from Millville brought
forth expressions of regret from public
and press, as his value as an energetic,
public spirited citizen had long been
recognized and appreciated there.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reardon and children
are now located in the nearby town.
They have four children, John, Jr.,
Richard, Margaret and Francis. Mr..
and Mrs. Reardon were married at
Manchester, N. H., In 1895.

A Real Live Missionary

Mrs. w. l.. Beard Of Foo Chow,
friends of the Mary Warfield Mission
airy society Yesterday afternoon. She
spoke of China's past history, OF its
own conceit and satisfaction, of its
mineral wealth and of the recent revo-
luton.
She noted the effect which was the
result of this uprising, such as better
government, better schools, more re-
spect for women and desire to be able
to compete with other nations.
Since Mr.. and Mrs. Beard went TO
China, eighteen years ago, they have
seen three of Its worst customs practi-
cally done away, viz: infanticide, foot
binding and the opium habit. This
latter habit the Chinese would give up,
but at present commercial interests in
England are forcing the cigarette upon
them and results are to be feared.
At the close of the address Mrs.
Beard spoke informally and interest
ingly of her personal work in the
school.
Mr.. Beard has recently returned To
China as president OF the American
Boards college in Foo Chow, and Mrs.
Beard remains in this country few
years longer to superintend the educa-
ton of her six children.
While in Franklin she was the guest
of Mrs. &. b. Johnson, a former school
mate, and also visited with her cousin,
Miss Eldora Alderman. Mrs. Beard 8
home at present is in Putnam, Conn.
