A PATRIOTIC RALLY
A Great Demonstration Will Be
Held at Salem Tomorrow

Plans for the great Salem county pat
riotic rally and parade to be held in Sa-
lem tomorrow Saturday have been
practically completed and ali indications
point to its being one of the greatest dem
constructions of the kind ever held in this
section of the State.
Organizations of all kinds, fraternal,
patriotic, beneficial, civic and otherwise
have arranged to join in the parade. At
tention has been called to the affair from
many pulpits as the patriotic duty of ev-
cry good citizen to take part. Mer-
chants, manufacturers officials and men of
affairs in every walk of life in Penns
Grove, Salem and other parts of the
county have had their interest stirred to
the highest point.
This practically unanimous suppo of
the great rally everywhere in the county
is highly gratifying. Woodstown Cham
Der of Commerce has appointed a COM
mittee with Judge Edward c. Wadding-
ton as chairman, to see that that section
is represented by a big delegation. Quin-
ton and Alloway will both be represented
by. big delegations and will lave bands in
the procession. 1t is not the purpose to
make this demonstration a jollifcation or
jubilee, but rather to instil into the minds
of our people true ideals of loyalty and
patriotism.
Governor Edge and his staff will be
present and Governor Edge will make an
address. 1t is also expected that u. s.
Senator John Sharp Williams will be
present and make an address. Others
of prominence in the State and nation
have been invited to take part. 1t is
thought that nothing in the history of
Salem county will approach this impress
sive affair.
PENNS GROVES SHARE.
Let Penns Grove do it's duty. Patrio-
tic citizens of every city and town are
marching TO show that the principles for
which their forefathers fought and died
have not been forgotten. They are march
ing to show that the Stars and Stripes
still typify the noblest and best ideals of
citizenship.
The citizens of Penns Grove and Carn-
ey Point are asked to show their loyalty
TO the c0.orrs by joining in this great
rally and parade. Special trolley cars
will leave from in front of Odd Fellows
hall, Penns Grove, and Walker avenue.
Carney Point at 100 p. M, sharp. The
parade will start promptly at 80.
Each citizen is asked to carry a cane
and flag. The flags will be furnished
by the committee in charge at the place
of assembly.
A preliminary drill was held in Com
munity Hall on Wednesday night and
judging from the attendance and the en-
thusiasm manifested there is little doubt
of this community making a splendid
showing.
A band has been engaged to lead the
Penns Grove division, which has been as
signed a position near the head of the
line.
All who W automobiles are requested
to load up with people for Salem in or
der that those who desire to participate
may have an opportunity to do so, as it
is hardly likely the trolley cars Will be
able to take them all. The delegations
from Penns Grove and Upper Penns Neck
township will form in Salem on Griffith
street, right resting on Market street.
Let our citizens show by their partici-
patton in this splendid demonstration that
patriotism and loyalty in Penns Grove
ranks with any in the land.
