Rev. DIR. Nichols Robbed.

Securing entrance to the home of Rev.
S. M. Nichols, Camden District Superin-
tendent of the New Jersey Methodist
Conference, 351 Haddon avenue, Cam
den, on Sunday night by means of a
SHELTON key, a thief ransacked the house
from top to bottom, and made off with
jewelry valued at over $3.50. The family
was at church, and on their return were
startled to find the house in a disordered
condition. Exchange
We doubt the correctness of the above
amount. Either the reporter or printer
has made a mistake. 1t surely must be
g. 5 because a District Superintendent is
so well versed in the Methodist discipline
about putting on jewelry and costly ap-
parel, there could not possibly have
been $3.50 worth of iewelry in his house.
Such baubles of vanity are foreign to
District Superintendent and all other
true Methodists.

Home Folks In Florida

We started from home December 18th,
Camden and next morning took the
steamer Quintico of the Merchants and
Miners line for Jacksonville. She is a
fine steamer, all finished in birds eye
maple and a darker wood. We arrived
at Savannah Sunday morning. l vent
with some acquaintance to a Baptist
Church. Next we took a trolley ride
around the city. 1t is an old dilapidat-
ed dirty city. We took an automobile
ride into the suburbs and there we saw
some handsome homes built by Northern
capital since the civil war.
We also took in an old plantation. 1t
had 300 acres in it. As far as the eye
could see raj the &C tton stocks where
they had raised cotton, and the little
cabins where the slaves lived were all
there and the slave holders house. But
the Southern mansions we read so much
about are no more than our common old
brick houses we see while riding through
the country.
We started for Crescent City, but when
we arrived in Jacksonville Mr.. Pedrick
met a gentleman that insisted on our
coming to Eustis. He said Crescent CITY
was full of malaria. We stayed in Jack
s%onville all day; took dinner with your
genial townsman w. A. Sack. He has
nice quarters fixed up for housekeeping;
keeps a chef and lives right at home.
In the afternoon at $50 we took the
steamer City of Jacksonville for Sanford,
l25 miles up the st. John river. The
steamer was fine and the scenery up the
st. Johns was beautiful, especially the
sunset and the old southern moss ~clinging
to the trees. Where We started the river
was quite wide, but a gentleman told us
there was one place so narrow the steam
er could hardly get thru. We passed it
in the night and it made such a crash it
woke us. A big limb fell Oh deck after
being broken.
We arrived in Sanford next day at 10
O'Clock. Sanford is a city OF 5000 inhab-
itants and is the home OF the Celey, but
has very bad water with much sulphur in
it. We had to wait until six O'Clock to
take the train for Eustis. 1t is So miles
from Sanford to Eustis. 1 will describe
Eustis in my next. Mrs. G. R. PEDRIcK

A petition was received from the citi-
zens of Upper P~ittsgrove, asking for the
building Of a half mile of road from Shir-
ley to connect with the Deerfield State
road. The township committee consent
to pay 800 toward the cost of the i'm
provement.
A resolution was passed taking over
the road, and improving it as desired.
The State will no doubt make an appro-
priation toward the cost of the road, as
Commissioner Stevens is anxious to have
the road built, to complete the chain of
roads to Bridgeton.
1t was ordered that the county state
ment be printed in all the papers OF the
county as usual, and the pamphlet print
ed by the Monitor Register.
Solicitor Keasbey reported that the
Charles Warner Dredging Company had
offered to pay one-nalf of the bill of
damages against them for one of their
boats running into the Penn's Neck
bridge last year and damaging it. The
bill was $348. SO. The Board determined
not to accept their proposal, and instruct
ed Solicitor Keasbey to demand $500 or
full payment of all the damages.
Mr.. Hart reported that the U. S. En-
gineer's Office at Wilmington had made
an unfavorable report on Strengthening
the Salem River, which the Salem Bust
ness Mems Association is now advocating.
A resolution was passed endorsing the
project, which the clerk was instructed
to forward to the War Department.

Summer Time In Dixie Now

Being in the South l will endeavor to
tell my friends in Penns Grove about our
trip. William Gibbs, Joseph H. Dolbow,
Charles Belknap and myself left Philadel-
phia December 29th on the steamship
Dorchester for Jacksonville. The ocean
was beautiful and our trip was pleasant.
While the boat laid at Jacksonville four
hours we explored the city and found it
a beautiful city. We stayed a day in
Savannah before going to Darien. We
were met at Darien by Clarence Dolpow
and Everett Sparks, who took us to Capt.
G. A. Dolbow's hotel where we stayed.
The little town has greatly changed since
we left it last March.
The weather is very warm here. 1t
seems like the autumn in the north. We
are enjoying fresh lettuce, radishes, cab
bage and all kinds Of green truck.
We are getting ONE very fine oysters.
Capt. Dolbow handles them every day.
He has oyster beds of his own. They
seem to nave a better flavor than our
Maurice River Coves.
Our friend Mr.. Sparks. after being sick
all the fall while in the north says he is
improving rapidly and feels better than
he has for years. Mr.. Sparks and Clar-
ence Dolbow have been cunning a great
deal. Mr.. Sparks biggest days cunning
Nas last Thursday. He killed thirty-one
pair of wild ducks and one goose. Since
they were here they have shot a number
of gray enipe, quail and turtle doves.
Last Saturday, Jan. 18th, sixty-one
shad were shipped to Philadelphia. 1t
was the first shipment from Darien this
year. This was many more than that
shipped last year at this date.
In closing l wish all a prosperous year
during 1913. Yours truly,
ALBERT Fl. JAMESON.

the Legislature convened in the State
House, in Trenton on Tuesday at
The Senate organized by electing james
Fielder, of Hudson county President,
and William l. Dill, of Passaic, Sec
rotary.
Senator Davis, of Salem county, the
Democratic leader, started the law
making mill by introducing the first
bill providing for all officers of the Sen
ate and Assembly and fixing their sal
aries. He also introduced the Cd bill
which extended the powers of the util.
tiles act of 1911 and gave the commits
sioners power to eliminate grade Gloss
ings at the expense of the railroad COM
panies.
Senator Davis is chairman Of CON-
mittees on Game and Fisheries, Judici-
ary, Riparian Rights, New Jersey Re
formatory, School for Deaf Mutes, and
is Oh that of Clergy, Railroads and
Canals, and Soldiers Home.
Heretofore the chairman Of commit
tees have reported bills OF not as he de-
sired and almost ignored other men,
bers. On motion of leader Davis a
rule was adopted under which seven
members on petition Cal force Il report
upon any bill which has bean referred.

On the motion of Leader Egan, a
rule was adopted 10y which any three
members of a committe may report a
bill, instead Of waiting for The action
of all five members. 1lIe Republicans,
under the lead of MI. Richards, oppos-
ed this rule also. 1t will deprive a
committee chairman of the power, so
long exercised, of s~trangling measures
by refusing to report them. Thus there
was presented Oh the first day of the
session the refreshing spectacle of the
''open door" for legislation and a long
stride ahead fer the people.
A Democratic caucus was held.
Edward E. Grosscup received AZ
votes for State Treasurer to 5 for Ed
ward l. Edwards. The Essex assembly
man bolted the ucu Grosscup was

Committees Appointed. Financial
Reports Made.

The January meeting of the County
Board of Freeholders was held in the

members were present. Director Gray
presided.
Solicitor Keasbey reported that he had
settled the claim againt the Atlantic Re-
filming Company for 5000, for damage done
to the Penn's Neck bridge by one of their
boats last year.

Beaver Creek bridge, in Oldsmans town
ship, was authorized to advertise for bids

preparatory to making repairs to the
bridge at that place, and that the report
would be submitted to the War Depart
ment next week.
State Road Commissioner Stevens re-
ported to Director Gray that he had ar
ranged to send $2,61s.5 so to Salem county

vile road.
Councilman D. G.. Humphreys, OF
Woodstown, asked the Board to repair
the Sharptown and Penns Grove road,
from its intersection with the Pllesgrove-
Warrington road through Sharptown to
Penns Grove. He claimed that this was
an important cross-county road, and a
popular ~thoroughfare for travel coming
over the river and going to Atlantic City.
Besides, it taps an important and produc-
tive farming section. Director Gray stat
ed that the road would have to take its
regular u r with those already on file.
Mr.. Humphreys said that he did not
want to interfere in the building of any
other road, but he thought the county
should borrow the money, if necessary,
to build this important piece of road.
No definite action was taken in the mat
ter.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an inf1amed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
