The "gasless Sunday" ban was ofic-

field this week, after seven weeks of
motorless Sabbaths.
Grand Juror Alexander w. Dick, who
failed to respond when his name was
called at the opening of Court, was
found to be ill in bed.
The deer hunting season opened on
Wednesday and several Pleasantvill-
ians were in the woods. None of their
efforts, however, SO far as we are in
formed, were crowned with success.
Mr.. VIM. Champion delighted the
heart of one of his old Pleasantville
friends, who lives in B~elcoville, with
a surprise bunch of sweet potatoes,
eight of which filled a cement sack.
Atlantic County beats on these
sweets.
Because of the influenza epidemic,
the meeting of the Synod of New Jer-
sey and the Presbytery of West Jer-
sey, which had been scheduled to take
place in the First Presbyterian Church,
Atlantic City, next Monday, has been
indefinitely postponed.
The hands of the clocks will be
pushed back one hour on Sunday NOR
ming, October 9th. Thus the hour we
lost in the springtime when the clocks
were pushed forward, will be returned
to us. The daylight saving was a fine
thing and will no doubt be repeated
again neXt Summer.

WARNINGS: DESTRUCTIVE
POTATO DISEASE.

The Office of Farm Demonstration
wishes to warn all farmers of Atlantic
County who buy or grow potatoes to
be on the watch for a very destructive
disease of potatoes.
The European potato wart, the most
destructive of all potato diseases, has
been found in a restricted locality at
Freeland, Luzerne County, (near Ha-
zleton), Pennsylvania. The locality
has been ~quarantined and both the
state and the federal officials are work
ing on the case. The disease is not in
a potato producing section and is con-
fined to small paintings. There is
very little danger of it's spreading, but
our growers are cautioned to be care
full as to the source of their seed. The
u. S. Government has a quarantine
against potatoes from infested dis
tricts in Europe.

Ruth had been here a month visiting

Saturday to take his wife and baby
daughter home. They left here last
Sunday night for their home and Mrs.
Kendall accompanied them expecting
to have an enjoyable visit of indefin-
lite length with them.
Mrs. Kendall and daughter arrived
home on the II o'clock train last
Thursday and brought the body with
them.
Mr.. Shaw was working in a net
work series of a dozen railroad tracks
at Pitcairn, a short distance from his
home town at IL o'clock Tuesday
morning when he was run down by a
locomotive which cut his body in two
in the middle. AS the engine ap-
preached he undertook to step out of
the way, but his foot slipped back
ward off the rail and instead of clear
ing the track he fell right in the path
of the locomotive which crushed him
to 5cath instantly. A fellow employee
who e~ndeavored in vain to move him
from his plightful position was injur-
ed in the back and legs.
MI. OndW, WHO was 90 years OF age,
