cunts of the 1918 Tax Duplicates, as
presented TO him by the assessors,
were as follows; First Ward, $40,976-

The Solicitor stated that he had ap-
peared before the Public Utility Com
mission in Trenton to protest against
the raise in rates of the Atlantic Coun-
ty Water Company. The hearing was
not completed, and therefore the Solic-
itor could give but an incomplete re-
port.

Chambers two days a week. The re-
quest was granted, subject to condi-
tons agreed upon between the City
Clerk and the Inspector.

fly delinquent merchants that they
must secure their mercantile licenses
or they will be proceeded against.

FALSE PEACE REPORT CAUSE
OF HUGE PUBLIC CELEBRATION
All Pleasantville Turned Out In JubiIa-
ton Over Premature Victory.

Accepting on its face value, in com
mon with the rest of the country, the
false report received in P~leasantville
about 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon
that Germany had signed an armistice
and that the world war was ended,
this city had a peace celebration such
as has never before been experienced
here. The fire bell was rung, whistles
blew, flags were flung to the breeze
everywhere, and everybody was happy
and joined in the rejoicing. The bands
Id several dozen autoists, members
of the Independent Italian Club, head
ed by Peter Cerruti and Dominic Cal
lacco, carrying the flags of America
and Italy, and hundreds of residents,
followed Mayor Crawford and Fire
President Lutz in a parade through
Personalities streets.
All afternoon and night Pleasant
vile was the scene of widest enthus-
iasm. R%evolvers, whistles, fire crack
ers and other available noises combin-
ed to give a war-front appearance to
the usual quietude of our city. Sky
rockets and red lights blazed lights
along the line of the parade and mer-
chants throughout the town closed up
at 7 o'clock in the evening, making it
. comrlete holiday. Community sing
ing, including the singing several
times of the DoXology, dancing at the
frn house and other events concluded
the nights celebration.
The Pleasantville Press regrets that
the celebration was a little premature,
and that the German government has
not yet surrendered.

REV. S. r. STRATTON
RESIGNS BAPTIST PASTORATE

Rev. S. R. Stratton astonished his
congregation by handing in his resig-
nation, to take effect Immediately. He
has been pastor of the First Baptist
Church for the past sixteen years, dur
ing which time the church has been
in a most fourishing condition, with
pastor and people closely united and
working tremendously together. Mr..
Stratton has accepted the superinten-
dency of the Baptist Orphanage at

very much enlarged field of work.
Both he and Mrs. Stratton have been
closely identified with the general in
terests of Pleasantville, in addition
to their church work, and their aD-
sence will be severely felt by the
whole community.

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEAL

Get a small package OF Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
II is the most effective way to break
a cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking
up cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
