He told of the important roles assum.

Of his wonderful work for the govern

While not spoken of at this meeting
it may not be out OF place to recall the
fact of an election being held at
the site Of the town hall, now
the fountain, to decide the location Of
the county seat and to authorize the
erection of court house. This event
occurred in 1895, and it will be seen
that Burlington county did not con-
tain as many townships as it now does.
An interesting story in connection
with this election is that the residents
of various townships came to town in
their working clothes. Many Of them
were charcoal burners and they had
dirty faces and hands. After voting,
it is related that they went to the creek
near at hand, washed up, went back
to the polls, and not being recognized.
cast second ballot. The result OF
the election was as follows:

New Tomato Cannery

The st-Indiss Importing Com
pany, a corporation having Offices in
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Buffalo,
has decided to open a tomato cannery
in the former Alcott foundry building,
located near the creek, in the rear OF
the West End hotel. The foundry has
been leased for this purpose.
This announcement was made at a
meeting of tomato growers held at the
court house last night.
The company desires to contract for
from $50 to 800 acres. The price to be
paid is $3.50 per ton. Over half of the
acreage wanted has been contracted for
already, andin a few days it is thought
| the balance will be obtained.
These contracts, in addition to the
very much larger acreage desired by
the Chance factory, will result in q
greatly increased planting of tomatoes
in this vicinity than ever before. The
scarcity and high price OF seed potatoes
also will tend to increase the acreage o.
tomatoes.
The West-Indies Importing Com.
pany heretofore has been engaged in
importing bananas. cocoanuts ane
other tropical fruits. The scarcity O
steamboats, and the damage done t.
fruits by hurricanes in the West Indies
have made that business improbable
SO the concern is seeking other bust
ness.
The tomatoes bought here will b.
| made into paste to be used for maca
roni preparations.
In addition to tomatoes the concerl
| is contracting for peppers at Is cent
per basket. and egg plants at 22i cent
per hamper, at which prices botl
crops are said to be profitable to grow
