PEANUT HUNT.

Miss Kate Green was hostess at a
peanut hunt last Sunday afternoon
at her home in Eliza street.
The affair took place on the beauti-
full lawn adjoining the Green residence
and to say that the afternoon was an
enjoyable one was putting it mildly.
There was fun galore and the jolly
crowd all joined in proclaiming Miss
Green a most admirable hostess. Pea
nuts were hidden in every nook and
corner of the lawn.
After the hunt was over delicious
refreshments were served.
Those present were Misses Inez and
Irva Daniels, Esther Marxen, Ida
Krogh, Hazel Giepert, Blanche Val,
lette, Martha Hart, Marion Harris,
Kate and Florence Green; Messrs. Ed.
Daniels, Gerald Forstall, Gus Lynck-
er, Chas. Rousselot, Carl Malone,

the mark of his wit and good taste
in staging the performance. OF course
the comedian himself is a good part
of the show, but he is not all of it by
any means and he has surrounded
himself with lot of other good en-
tertainerS both dancers, singers and
comedians. Among these are Eddie
Ross, 'Lasses White, Happy Benway,
Steve Weber, James Barrardi, Leslie
Berry. Earl Holmes, Major Nowak and
Al. Mario
The first part this year has a partic-
ularly pretty setting, a decided novel
~ in minstrel first parts. II is com
posed entirely of a pretty shade of
CretOnne and the scene bears a re-
markable resemblance to an elabOr-
ate bon bon box. After the first part,
the new features are The Jitney Joy
Bus" a screaming one act sketch
written by O'Brien himself in which
he plays the principal part; The
Ebony Yacht Club" a big dancing
number staged by James German and
a one act playlet called The Bold,
Brave, Black and Tans," written by
George NJ. Cohan.
THE Bold, Brave, Black and Tans,
was written by Mr.. Cohan for the ia
nous "Friar's Frolic," and it was
through the courtesy of the Yankee
Doodle comedian that it was secured
for the Minstrels. 1t deals with the
present Mexican f1are-up and is said
to be a most humorous connection.

The H. n. G. c. theater will con-
tinue its high standard program for
tomorrow night and Sunday.
On Friday will be shown Fannie
Ward. the Lasky star in Witchcraft.
This announcement in itself will
gladden. the hearts of our patrons.
She is seldom seen in this town and
in this mysterious photoplay she is
a treat The story is of a HuguenOt
refugee who sacrifices herself by
marrying a decrepit old miser to
save her mother from the stake; is
cleverly interviewer with the girls

ultimately saves her with the Gov
ernor's proclamation abolishing pun
ishment for witchcraft, just as she
is also about to be punished with
this supposed crime.
On Sunday night will be seen
Owen Moore and Marguerite Cour-
tot in THE Kiss" The story goes
thusly: "A young American who has
won many medals for bravery as an
aviator in the French army kisses
girl at a masquerade. She is lost
in the crowd and his efforts to find
her again prove more than amusing.
Finally he finds her. the police in
pursuit. There is a thrilling rescue
in hydro-aeroplane."
The name attracts and holds our
attention, and no wonder why, all
of our patrons-ef both sexes have
surely at one time or other at least,
the very least, have experienced this
Sweetest of the Sweets and who
has not enjoyed it?"
The LASS of the Lumberlands, -
featuring Helen Holmes of railroad
movie series fame, is being shown at
this theater every Tuesday. This
series of the great wild forests is
proving very interesting.

Penns Groves Noted Veteran of 1861-1865

Layman would fill a book, but he is very
reticent about his long service to his
country.
Returning home he married and be-
came a thrifty and successful farmer in
Lower Penns Neck. A few years ago
he quit farming and moved to Penns
Grove. Notwithstanding he is ~ years
of age he has a constitution as tough as
a hickory stump and does more work at
the powder mills than many younger
men.
Mr.. Layman is a staunch Republican
and has taken an active part in politics.
but has never made his p~artisanship per-
sonal enmity, but a matter of principles.
Last November he had the honor of be-
ing elected the first Chosen Freebooter
from Penns Grove, and took his seat to
represent the Borough in the County
Board January LIST.
Fifty years has passed since the close
of the Civil War. A real veteran who
has been in many battles, been wounded
and survived a prison camp is a great
curiosity for this young generation to see.
The hero to be honored on Memorial Day
is e'Uncle" Sam Layman.
Fifty-two years nave passed since the
close of the Civil War. All the spirit of
enmity has passed away There is now
no North nor South. All are united now
in another war.
The Federals and Confederates held a
reunion on the battlefield of Gettysburg in
