Asbury Park, N. 1.-THE Peoples Re
corder, E. NJ. and F. S. Webster own
ers, celebrated its first anniversary on
Friday, July 80. The venture has been
very successful, notwithstanding in the
beginning the owners of the paper had
to employ New York printer to do
the work in New York city each week.
Many other difficulties confronted the
Messrs. Webster. but they exercised
great patience and used good judgment.
In about nine months they had gained
considerable experience and mastered
most of the difficult problems which
confronted them at the beginning.
In relating his early experience with
the paper e. NJ. Webster says:
Seeing the expenses going up and
the profits beginning to dwindfe, type,
press and everything necessary to print
the paper was purchased from New
York printers supply house on the 9th
of October, 1914. This enabled us TO

news, which was another stride for
ward. Since that time the Recorder
has steadily forged ahead, slowly but
surely.
There were times when things look
ed dark and discouragement loomed
high, but we had only to turn to Il
little card which we had tackled upon
h. xx.ht dc T., ~
gained by a single bound, but we build
the ladder by which we rise etc. This
gave us new hope and greater courage.
On this, the Recorders first birthday,
we find in summing up hat we have
made great stride toward the COW
eted goal, and with the same good for
tune that has attended us in the past
we shall ultimately reach the desired
end. We extend today our best wishes
to our readers and supporters, and We
wish them the greatest success.
"The Recorder has passed the in
FAINT stage. From an expensive exper-
iment it has partly reached the happy
realization of our fondest dreams. Our
endeavois have been crowned with n
success that has won the patronage
and esteem of many subscribers and
advertisers In field of NEE than 400
colored publications.
I'VE take this opportunity to thank
our many hundreds of subscribers, ad-
vertisers, voluntary contributors and
well wishers The encouraging letters
received have been many, and they
generally came at time when they
were most welcome. Our appreciation
Is evident by our efforts to please. In
the installation of interesting features
which we are able TO get fren time
to time we hope to cover a widcf field.
I'VE invite suggestions and criticisms
from subscribers and readers. They
are always welcome. The Recorder Is
for the benefit Of our people as race,
and We respectfully invite the public
to make it their home companion"

PULLS OFF DANCE
In Millionaire's Home, and Now He
Has to Pay the Fiddler.

Mr.. Ellis Freeman, who was known
to the public as Good Time" Ellis,
and who was employed as butler in
millionaire's home, pulled off a
stunt that he could not handle. After
inviting several friends and ordering
up everything that looked like wine
and something to eat, he sat down at
the table with them and related the
conversation that led them to believe
that he was the owner Of the place
and not an employee. But to his sor-
row later he was somewhat embar-
rassed by not being able to foot the
bill, and was obliged to suffer. He
now languishes behind the bars OF
our municipal skyscraper, thinking
how easy it is to get in trouble but
how hard ii is to get out
