Morris Abraham is locally styled ''tht
Poultry Magician, owing to his phe
nomenal success in raising large broods
though this is his first season. Nothing
succeeds like success is shown in this in
stance by the many old time poultry
keepers who are purchasing some stock
from him. 1t would be all right if they
could buy some of his brains also.
julius Pincus, manager of the Pincus
clothing factory, is now operating the
| factory on full time. He states that he
has orders from the New York office
which will take many weeks to fill. The
retail city trade prefers to purchase cloth

our chief occupation, and living in an
embryo communistic fashion, the land
being open to all, 'Gather we huckleber-
ries as We may" is the townships motto,

respected. When the crop, due to the
age of the bushes, fails, forest fire de-
stroys all old growths, but in the sue

Our local 'cut-ups" are deriving some
amusement discussing the proposed
state road from Pemberton or Browns
Mills to the village. Our township con-
tains just about a dozen horses and some
thing like half a dozen cows, hence our
traffic necessities hardly warrant the
scheduled outlay. The excuse that a
good road is necessary to enable people
to get to the home for feeble-minded
children, in course of erection near here.
is hardly complimentary, as the impli-
cation respecting such bulky pilgrim
age anticipates our actual needs. 1t
would be interesting to learn the real
reason why this road is being pushed at
the present time. The reasons hereto
fore stated are enough to make brass
monkey rear up on his hind legs and
laugh his head off.
Our annual outdoor dance and picnic
was pulled off without any fatalities
being recorded. Several fair visitors from
New York city graced the occasion, and
we had the opportunity of studying the
leading modes in evening costumes, and
the latest movements in the light fam
tastic. Pour lie amour de Michel" NUT

resident of South Park at

poetry of motion from the classic can
can to the modern strange hold. Our
ice cream vendors did a thriving bust
ness, cash in advance and dutch treats
being the lackadaisical outlet. Our
servitor stated he never worked so hard
since the time he served free punch at
church picnic. During the festivities
