AND BEAUTIFUL DE-
VOTION, AND HE is
NEVER TOO BUSY TO
SERVE THEM.
Herbert Clay was born
and reared in Old CO b b
County, and has spent his
life there. He was elected
Mayor of Marietta, and four
years a G he carried h i S
home county by nineteen
hundred and ninety-Six ma
jority. OF course it is i'm
possible to predict what his
majority there this time will
be, but it will certainly be
very large He has hun
dreds of friends scattered
all over Cobb County who
are working for him day
and night and will not cease
their efforts until the last
ballot is cast on the 18th day
of September.
Friendship is a way S
stronger than money. 1t
appeals to the better and
nobler side OF human ma
ture. THE T r u +
FRIENDS w 10 HAVE
LEARNED TO LOVE
HERBERT CLAY, AND
WHO ARE LOVED B Y
HIM, ARE MAKING THIS
RACE A GREAT VIC
TORY FOR HIM. They
believe he has a great poll
tical future, and they desire
tOmake his victory so deCid-
ed that it will have theeffeCt
of sending him higher later
on.
In a word, a careful a.
nalySiS of the situation
over the entire Circuit indi-
Gates a tremendous majority
for HERBERT CLAY. 1t is
not at all a matter OF cleo
ton, but simply a question
of how much CLAWS MA
JORlTY will be.
There in not the slightest
doubt that his friends will
take good care of that part
OF the programme.

had been petition to raised the fee from
500 to $500 and he asked Mr.. Acton if
he had any objection to offer why such
action should not be taken. Mr.. Acton

A Small Vote Cast

The primary election held last Tues
day to elect delegates to the National
Conventions to choose candidates for
president and vice-president attracted lit
tie attention in his region. In fact, not
as many voted as used to come together
to elect delegates to a state convention.
In the north precinct, Penns Grove,
only three Democrats and two Republi-
cans voted. No choice was voted for
president.
In the south precinct three Republ-
cans and five Democrats voted. No
choice was made by the Republicans for
president. -Four Democrats voted for
Woodrow Wilson and one for William ].
Bryan.
In Upper Penns Neck Township three
Republicans and five Democrats voted.
In Oldmans Township FIVE Democrats
and four Republicans voted. -Four
Democrats voted for Wilson, one Repub-
lican for Hughes and three for Roose-
welt.
The Penn's Grove record., 1916-04-28

the remonstrance against James ].
Barrett states that he is not a resident
of Upper Penns Neck. 1t is in the midst
of a farming community, sparsely set
tied with absolutely no police protection.
If the license is granted it would be I'M
safe to travel the roads in that neigh
borhood, because it would draw vicious
men to that place.
The same arguments are put against
Morris case.
Fifty-four, mostly farmers in the sur
rounding neighborhood, signed the re
monstrance against granting Barrett a
license and thirty-four signed against
Morris.
The roof of the new proposed hotel
was finished this week. The windows
on the north side were put in on Thurs
day. A rug, bureau and a double bed
and bedding put in q corner room in the
afternoon, but there is no door to enclose
the room. Two cots were, put in after
six o'clock. A Waterman guarded the
building all night, but on inquiry there
was no accommodations for lodging nor
food for man nor animal. The building
is not now in condition to meet the re-
quirements of the Inn and Tavern law
of New Jersey.
Licenses for Penns Grove are granted
by judge of the County Court to Inn and
Tayerns public. There is no law to
license drinking saloons in Penns Grove.

ROAD CONTRACTS ASKED
Mayor and Council Pushing Civic
improvements

The fortnightly meeting of the Mayor
and Council was held Tuesday. Coun-
cilmen Lummis, Dalbow, Blohm and Ho-
man were present. Mayor Cunningham
presided.
Bedford G.. Wood was appointed to be
a member of the Board of Health to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Harry L. Blohm. The nomination
was confirmed.
The ordinance to require all property
owners to lay concrete curbs and side
walks, where not laid. was finally pass
ed. If not laid by the property owners
the Mayor and Council will have it lone
and charged to the property owner.
A motion was passed TO advertise for
bids to have an amiesite road built on
Broad street and Maple avenue. The
macadam bed is to be laid in 1916 and
the top put on in 1917.
Councilman Dalbow reported that the
$4,000 of State money granted last year
for a gravel road is available this year
and State Road Commissioner Stevens
will grant the balance for next year af-
ter November i. The street improve
ment comprises 15,4S4 square yards.
A resolution adopted by the Board of
Health last Tuesday night was read and
laid over until the mex meeting for ac-
ton. The resolution recommended that
a trunk be laid from the sluice below
French's about fifty feet so that the
storm sewer water from Pitman, Frank
lin and Main streets will flow freely;
that pipes be laid in the ditch from Main
street to the railroad land. between Jus,
tice and johnson properties; also in the
ditch from Pitman street to Franklin
street.
The resolution also included laying a
pipe between the properties fronting on
Pitman and Griffith street and that'it be
charged to the property owners.
Last fall it was threshed out that the
Mayor and Council should take over the
main line sewer bitches and drains to the
head where streets are drained and that
property owners should take care of
tributary drains. The bitches nave been
cleaned out, but the immense amount of
rubbish and slovenliness of residents
soon fill them up. Some of these line
bitches have been piped and filled up by
property owners. The issue is whether
the Borough should pay for piping the
bitches or the property owners. Some
do not need the bitches while the Bor-
ough does to drain water from the
streets.
d. G. Bowen. state health inspector,
was present and wants the Borough to
hire an inspector. Some thought enough
might be collected in fines to pay one,
$500.

SIN SCORNED HARD
EVANGELIST STEPHENS EASTER SER
MON WAS FORCIBLE

Notwithstanding last Sunday morning
was stormy a large congregation heard
II. L. Stephens preach on the crucifixioD
of Jesus. The agonies Of Jesus and the
resentful spirit OF the hooting mob were
thrilling described.
He severely scored the manner many
treat Easter as a Pagan holiday to display
fashions iolijes on the boardwalk at At
lantic City, also the sins OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
adultery, drunkenness aud murder. He
plead for the Holy Spirit to help us have
a little bit of heaven in Penns Grove, to
sustain US in the fight against sin as Jesus
was sustained on the cross. He made a
strong plea for the fighting spirit for
righteousness to keep saloons out OF
PeDns Grove. There is worse hell than
mosquitoes. That is whiskey.
AS Christ, the spirit of God in Jesus
rose VIGOROUSLY, so we may triumph
over the lust of the eye, the flesh and
the devil and become victorious like
Jesus Christ.
A very large audience was present Sun
day evening TO bear his sermon OH cable

OF fremont temple, Boston, gave q stir

On Thursday night of last week there
was a big stir over reading the list of
license signers aud the signing of the
remoustrauces 1t was said that two of
the license signers were Church mem
beTs. The evangelist attracted their ac-
ton and caused much applause by his
utterances. Where are all you profess-
ing Christians2 lie said. Now is the
chance Of your life to practice what on
preach aud when these petitions come
your way, give the license one good
Black eye and then put your signature
down in boldness on Gods side"
