Have spent several enjoyable days.
Yesterday l played tennis in the af-
ternoon and in the evening l helped
operate a moving picture place up
here. Today l was fishing. It's the
first time that l was ever brook
fishing, and it's lots OF fun. You wade
right out into the stream and follow it
along. Caught about two dozen trout.
Caught many dozen more but had to
throw them back because they were
small. We followed the stream along
for about five miles and had about a
fifteen mile walk home ahead of us in
a scorching sun along a hot dusty
road, but the angels were with us and
we met a man with an automobile
getting pulled out of a ditch. He took
us into town with him. We also
stopped on the road and had several
glasses of rich, cool buttermilk.

me go. Have promised to write to

The battle of the ballots in the
county contest which occurred last
Tuesday is over and the victors are
two Wildwood men. Hon. w. H.
Bright goes back to the Senate for a
second term of three years, and City
Treasurer Robert ]. Kay, a new man
in county politics, is elected to the
Assembly. Senator Bright had about
600 plurality over Major E. O. Howell,
his Democratic opponent. Mr.. Kay
had 1900 or more over Walter P. Tay-
Tor, the Democratic candidate, who is
a progressive young farmer of Lower
Township. In North Wildwood the
Civic Improvement Association, a new
organization, put up a fight against
James McLinden and lost out. These
candidates were defeated at the pri-
maries and run on stickers Tuesday.
The new councilman-at-large is Her
bert M. Shivers. In the first ward the
new councilman is John A. Carlson,
and in the second, James Penrose was
elected for a full term of three years,
and Albert Cline for the unexpired
term of F. A. Larcombe, resigned. At
the Crest, Glenn I. Folsom won out
for council over Orville T. King by a
close vote. Warren G. Runyon was
elected constable at the Crest. At
West Wildwood Isaac Weaver was re-
elected to council, having only four
votes over Charles Hamilton the next
high man. One of the greatest sur
prises in the election was the defeat of
Freeholders John P. Fox and John r.
Groves at Ocean City. William J..
Chadwick had a plurality of 10 over
Groves in the second ward, and H. B.
Cree won over Fox in the first ward by

1oyable week. Met several girls. Out

far are very hospitable and sociable.

is that 1 may never again see some of
these generous friends whom I have

in my heart to leave them and Eve
see them again. I only hope that God
will send one of them across my path
again, and that 1 may be able to treat
them as we'll as they have treated me.

Back to civilization again. Am stay
ing over night at Spring Hill, the larg-
est town in Cumberland County, N. s.,
but don't be misled, for any small
country village in the States is larger
than it. 1t is a mining town and true
to its name, runs up hill. You never
find a paved street or sidewalk up
here, being at times wooden walks, at
others. and more frequently, mere dirt
paths. Am stopping owe night at a
hotel which has water upstairs, Win
dow sashes and electric lights. All
these are something unusual. Farm
houses have windows, but II you
want your windows open during the
night, you have to prop them open
with a stick, or if you can't fnd a
stick, with a shoe. There are no
weights in the sashes. Had a patn
this evening, the first one IN a week.
What a contrast with my bath or TWO
every day at home. I suppose I'm
not so dirty up here. The clerk at the
hotel offered to take me to the sample
room as soon as I arrived. Inere
seems to be an immense amount OF
LIQUOR drunk up here. Although you
eve come across a saloon bar, ex-
cent in a large city, nearly every little
