Grit, GumptiOn and Grace

Rev. John Handley, DID, pastor of
st. Luke's NJ. E. Church, Long Branch,
and one of the most famous orators in
New Jersey, gave the sixth and last
lecture in the course in Emmanuel
Church last Tuesday evening On Grit,
Gumption and Grace. The goodly
number present were delighted, be-
cause he not only has a valuable fund
of useful information, but a vein of
humor which never fails to please.
The hard grit made in the glacial
period of the world will now wear
away and split rocks. 1t is the hard
grit of intellectual, moral character
with perseverance and endurance that
moves the human race forward. The
life of the old quarry horse lives in
building and monuments. The lives of
love and sacrifice of good women live
in future generations. Do not wait
to be moved by circumstances, but
rise with an indwelling power of life
as in the blade of grass and the forest
oak which defies the power of gravita-
ton.
Have gumption, shrewdness, COM
mon sense cleverness, to do something
worth while. We should develop the
talent power in us to help fulfill Gods
prophecy every day, with grace, love
and sacrifice with Jesus Christ as u
example and guide.
A musical entertainment of home
talent preceded the lecture.
For some years Penns Grove had
Chautauqua lectures and entertain
ers who crowded all into three or four
days and took away all the money the
committee could get by selling tickets,
5000 and more. Nothing was left, as
they took all. Only a few had leisure
to attend all in so short a time so they
were discontinued.
During the past three years a
course of six musical entertainments
and lectures, one a month for six
months, has been given in Emmanuel
Church with great success, on the
standard of high-class intellectual en-
tertainment with profit to the Church
Committee. They have been so sue
cessful that a course has partly been
arranged for next fall and winter.

Muskrats Higher

A few weeks ago the Penns Grove
Record made a plea for a higher tariff
on muskrat hides which become Hud-
son sables after the furriers make
them into coats for milady. Since
then the price Of hides have gone up
from 30 cents to $1.10.
Persons who own meadows and have
to care for the banks which keep out
the tide consider muskrats a nuisance
because they make holes in the banks
which are soon washed into breaches
if not dug out and filled in. Such are
glad to have gunners and trappers kill
all muskrats possible.
But in Maryland there is a law for
bidding shooting muskrats. Two men
near Salisbury shot eight muskrats
last month and were fined $105.5O in
GLIDING cost. So you see the humble
marsh hare is being protected so II
can become Hudson sables.

COUNTY COURT

On Friday last in the Salem County
Court, before Judge Washington, At
torney Henry B. Ware applied for a
writ to show cause why the judgment
should not be opened in the case OF
Jediah G. Dunn VS.. Mary {. and MAJ
than Mattson, of Upper Penns Neck.
His Honor declined to sign the order
until he has an opportunity to look
up the law. 1t vas stated that last
summer Mr.. Mattson's personal prop
erty was to be sold at chattel mort
gage sale by Mr.. Dunn but that the
wife came forward in order to retain
the property and signed a note with
her husband. In January judgment
by default was entered against the
Mattsons. Mr.. Ware held that Mrs.
Mattson "did not benefit to her own
estate" by signing the note and was
entitled to present a defense. He
cited several cases to sustain his
argument. E,
Judge Washington said he wanted
time to look into the law and reserved
his decision. The property is being
advertised by Sheriff Brandritf to be
sold on Monday, 2Sth inst.
Omar Thomas, colored, who PLEADED
guilty to carrying a concealed deadly
Weapon, was sentenced to three
months in Jail and to pay a fine OF
500 and costs. Owing to previous
good character the Jail sentence was
suspended. Judge Washington in
commenting upon the cast said the
carrying of weapons was becoming, a
menace and it is necessary to take
measures to break up the practice

Editor Penns Grove Record;
In your valuable paper of February
18th. | note what a correspondent of
the Elmer Times has to say concern
ing st. Petersburg, Fla. Since we
consider it now our home town, may
l ask your kindness to publish the fol-
lowing:
In our crop of 1919, we sold the
oranges from Jul groves for So a box
on the trees. This present crop of
1920, the grapefruit was sold for $3.50
a box. We have refused $500 a box
for our oranges and are holding them
for a higher price. The 1920 crop was
sold in these so-called hard times.
These prices were all on the tree.
The buyer pays all charges, including
picking, hauling, packing and freight,
leaving the above amounts net to the
grower.
Of course the informers of the
Elmer Times correspondent may have
shipped thru INSCRIPTIONS commission
men or a poor quality fruit.
Pinellas County has experienced no
difficulty in selling its groves or fruit
profitably, as Just a few weeks ago a
fifteen year old grove which joins our
groves on the north consisting of
twenty acres in grove and ten just
planted, was sold for $4,000. Oul
main trouble lies with men and
women mostly tourists mot children
climbing our. fences to steal our fruit
In fact it was done in such numbers
that st. Petersburg officials had tC
send policemen for the groves in town
Thanking you, | am

Links Irish Fight
ToU.S. Struggle
Speaker Says Sim Fein Will
Win If Aided Finan-
cially.

Parallels between the American
struggle for independence and the
struggle carried on by the Sim
Fein party in Ireland were empha-
sized last night by Walter Edger-
ton Holloway in an address at Con
zaga Hall before the Padraic H.
Pearse Council Of the American
Association for the Recognition of
the Irish Republic.
Both nations sent emissaries
abroad to secure aid, he said. be-
cause the task in each instance
was too big physically for the
leaders in the struggle for indie
pendence" Both during 1.-The rev.
oIution and during the present
struggle between England and Ire
land, Holloway pointed out, offers
were made by England TO give her
opponent a dominion form of gov
eminent. De Valera's refusal to
accept this compromise, he likened
to a similar reply made by Ben
jamin Franklin when a like pro-
posal was made by Lord Carlisle
during the revolution.
The Irish Republic can win to-
day," he said. IF like the Ameri-
can republic in its hour of trial. it
receives financial assistance from
abroad"

archy both the lowest liquor seller
and the man in a high and mighty
place who makes light of the Eigh-
tcenth amendment
should Enforce Lawt
TT is not enoGgh to obey the
law" the commissioner declared, "tt
is the duty of every Intelligent citi-
zen to see that the liquor law are
enforced. The good citizen il the
natural guardian of the law. Is he
going to stand-like spineless
man-and listen to the chant of
anarchy from the soapbox orator
without making an effort to prevent
the circulation and utterance of re-
marks tending to throw discredit
upon organized governdent and So
ciety?
The real trouble today with the
enforcement of the liquor laws,
Mr.. Haynes stated, lis the lack of
respect. not only for those laws
but for others. Our greatest peril
is the loss of the sanctity and
majesty of the law.
Rarely an American
The bootlegger is not originally
an American. He is for the most
part recruited from the ranks of

probably will not become American
lied and learn TO respect our laws

I declared.
Another 'humbug' is the theory
that crime is due to prohibition
he asserted. The crime wave Is
worldwide 1t is but the backwasn
from the military wave. Drunken
ness and attending crimes abroad
have increased about 65 per cen,
and these countries still manufac-
| ture and sell liquor In America,
where the law has ordered a stop

enness has decreased to the same
4 percentage.
