HIT BY A BOOMERANG
A New Ferry Boat Coming. BuPORtS
DO Not Want Hotel
Now Wants A Tin Horn

Last weeks Salem Standard and Jer-
seyman said:
at is too bad that a certain class of
citizens take a delight in knocking"
everything that has for it the public good.
Penns Grove is moving too fast for this
class and they should step aside and let
the more progressive take a hand in mu
nicipal affairs. Drop your hammers and
get hornsl"
The editor of the Standard and Jersey
mar also holds the high and honorary
position of President of the State Board
of Health He was the first to start the
hammer business in declaring Penns Grove
on the verge an epidemic aud needing the
divine care of the State Board of Health
to keep us out of the doctors hands and
the grave yard.
After searching every crack and corner
for three months the inspectors have fail
ed to find any malignant bacteria and
proceeded to condemn water i'll wells be-
cause a few benevolent bacteria were
found, upon which the inhabitants have
thrived for over 200 years, grown rugged
and lived to good old ages. The oldest
died at SO last April. Another Sc, drink
ing bacteria by the thousand every day.
We regret Brother Chew has been hit
by his own boomerang, and we invite
him to come drink our Wholesome water

Justice Duffy Continues Busy

Last Friday was pay day. While the
week previous was quite dry and orderly
AFTER the hotel bar was closed, yet when
the money was got, the alcoholic craving
was met.
Justice Duffy informs us that during
the week he has had before him twenty
four cases of drunkenness, has found four
speakeasies and captured eighteen quarts
of whiskey.
The excessive use of alcoholic liquors is
made a crime. The question with many
is, Is not the excessive craving a
disease?'
