ing's entertainment, and at the same
time feel grateful for having contrib
uted to the success of the project.
Such al attraction was found in

big attractions in the metropolis of

of the country has not crystallized.
Whom can you nominate to beat
Wilson," is favorite query of the
Democrats. "The convention will find
the right man." is the usual reply.
Associate Justice Charles E. Hughes
of the United States Supreme Court,
is looked upon by many as the strong
est man the Republicans could nomi-
nate, but Justice Hughes has let it b,
known very plainly that he has no
wish to give up his place upon the
bench in order to lead a presidential
campaign.
There are others, mainly Democrats
who predict that the outcome of the
convention will be the nomination of
Colonel Roosevelt by the Republicans.
This seems very improbable at this
writing, and yet no one who is famil-
lar with the ColonePs record in poll
tics will attempt to make a prediction
where he is concerned. 1t can be said,
however, that the Republican leaders
have as yet shown no disposition to
take the Colonel as the candidate.

SOON REACHED
PUBLIC FAVOR

The success attending the progress
of the Farmers & Merchants National
Bank, the youngest banking institu-
ton in this city, can be said to be
most remarkable.
When this bank was projected, few
years ago, there were many doubling
Thomases about the town, some peo-
pie feeling there was not material
here to support a third national bank.
The result of the venture soon scat
tered all these doubters and resolved
their fears into hearty support and
cooperation.
The capital stock was soon raised
to $150,OOO and the surplus Is now
$50,OO0 making capital and surplus
100000.
The management of the bank mani
tested its capability from the very
first and public favor was evidenced
at once.
1t has shown a constant and healthy
growth and the result has been. that
the deposits, both check and time,
as shown by the last report, aggre-
gated over half million dollars. This
is surely very gratifying progress.

90 Days.
SELLING LIQUOR.
Young Man Several Times All
rested, But Has Always
Escaped.

last night to Bert Mead on the charge
of violation of Ordinance No. ITS, or
the illegal sale of liquor.
He pleaded not guilty. He declared
that every time he was seen with any

people who would declare that he was
selling rum. Evidently he could not
believe he was doing anything of the
kind.
There were but four witnesses ex-
amined, and their evidence was SO
conclusive that it was thought unnec-
essary to call more.
Enos Evan swore that he bought
one quart of liquor from Mead last
Saturday for which he paid Mead one
dollar.
Allie Peterson swore that he was
with Evan at the time of the purchase
saw Evan pay Mead the money and
he helped Evan drink the liquor.
Harvey Allen testified that he had
bought pint of liquor from Mead
ami Paid him 25c for it, and had also
bought liquor from Mead for other
people.
Charles Eldridge testified that he
dii not buy liquor of Mead himself,
but gave money to Allie Peterson to
get liquor from Mead for him, which
he declared was done.
Harvey Allen also further stated
that he had given Allie Peterson mon
ey to get liquor from Mead, and he
got it. W
The Mayor adjudged Mead guilty.
and imposed a fine of $1OO and, in
default Of payment, 80 days in Jail.
Mead not being able to pay, was
committed to JAIL
The Mayor in the case of the man
Mccullough, who created the distur-
hance at the West Jersey Hotel yes.
