Random Notes.

Under law passed by the last legis-
lature, all dogs in the state must here
after be registered and wear collar and
tag, which will fix their identity and
ownership. This law applies to rural
districts as well as cities and towns. 1t
provides that any person may lawfully
kill any unregistered dog that is per-
mitted to run at large off its owners
premises. The registration fee is 81 and
this money is to be used to create fund
for the remuneration of persons whose
farm stock or poultry may be killed or
injured by dogs.
The return to the per diem basis of
paying members of the Board of Chosen
Freeholders has been hailed with delight
by some of those who thought their SER
vices were possibly worth more than the
$500 per year provided for in the law fix
ing yearly salary. Others who did not
get quite 800 per year under the old
system cannot see much good in the
change. In looking over the report of
the Auditor, recently printed, we find
that one member Of the Board drew 1912
for his personal services. In this was
probably his expenses in attending
meetings, which were not necessarily
large, SO that the member must have
put In great many days. Allowing
81 Sundays to be deducted, there were
BIB working days in 1915, and according
to the bill as reported by the Auditor,
the member referred to seems to have
got all but 81 of those days in. No
wonder some OF the Freeholders object
to having their paw fixed at $500.

PineWorth.

The Sunday school at Pineworth was
privileged to have Rev. Mr.. Woodmansie,
pastor of Chatsworth M. E. church, with
them Sunday afternoon. He gave an
able address, and we hope to have
another service conducted by him in the
near future.
A donation Of fifty library books was
made to the Sunday school last week
from the Presbyterian Sunday school of
Tuckerton, and the Baptist Sunday
school of West Creek. This gift came
through the efforts of John C. Price, of
Tuckerton. Only short time ago the
school received fifty singing books from
DR.. J. A. Stuart, president OF the Bur-
lington County Sunday school Associa-
ton. The Sunday school here wishes to
thank all.the kind friends who are help
ing on the good work.

band of gypsies came to town last

The authorities are going after dogs
and have published a notice requiring
that all dogs be registered. 1t is in
tended to have this ordinance strictly
enforced.
