Pemberton.

Improvement is reported in the con-
dition of Miss Eva DeCou, who has been
i'll with typhoid fever for several weeks.
The engagement of Miss Elizabeth
Nippins and Ernest r. Snyder, of Smith
vile, is announced. The marriage will
take place in the fall.
Pemberton had set out to have good
time on Thursday, when a firemen's
parade was to take place. Everything
had been arranged for big day. Invi-
tations had been sent out to neighboring
towns, and several companies had an
nounced their intention of being on
hand and help the jollification along.
But when the day arrived and the
hour for the parade to start was up not a
single company from out of the town
was present. To say that the Pemberton
people were disappointed is to put il
mildly 1t will not even be the correct
thing to simply say they were indignant
They were mad, and mad all the way
through, as they had right to be.
But they did not hang back on theil
part of the program. The PembertOn
firemen, with their apparatus, went over
the route and were roundly applauded
for their pluck. There was to have beer
good time in the evening. An orch
estra had been engaged, hall had beer
hired and there was to be free dance fo
the visiting firemen and their friends
| AS it turned out the ball was opened t.
the public in general.
The Pemberton people had a right t.
feel badly over the way things turned
out, especially in the face of the fac
that some of the companies Invited haC
sent word they would be on hand, on
company telephoning the previous even
ling their intention of keeping the prom
Use made some time before. 1t is quit
likely the carnival at New Egypt vii
not have as many visitors from PembeI
ton as on former occasions, owing to tn
events of Thursday.

The Old system Preferred.

| The election on Tuesday resulted in
the decision that the large Board of Free
holders was to be continued in office and
that the new system that has been tried
with such satisfaction in other counties,
but which has been knocked and cuffed
in this county by those with individual
axes TO grind, who have been pulling at
the public purse with great success, who
have been shown up in an unenviable
light, the system which has not been
given a fair chance to show what it
could do, has been relegated to the rear;
doing business, with taxation with
representation, with all sorts of chances
to get money illegally, or, to put it
mildly to make mistakes" that, some
how, were never for the benefit of the
county.
The vote in the county was quite light
The members of the old Board and their
friends were very active in getting votes
for the return of the old crowd, and the
statement that some of them were ''out
of politics" was clearly shown to the
contrary. The majority was so slight
that if little more activity had been
displayed in localities where there was
much talk the result might have been
different. But the majority. slight as it
was, shows that those who took the
trouble to go to the polls were in favor of
doing away with what was hoped would
be for the good of the county. 1t now
remains to be seen what kind of men
will be put in to give the much-talked-of
representation.
The vote in the county was as follows.
