BsEco BOY SHOT.

On Saturday afternoon, while Jacob
Reed and his friend, Durham Boice,
were playing in the back yard, Jacob
received a bullet wound in the leg.
DR.. Allen was Immediately summoned,
and upon examination found that the
bullet had entered his right leg just
below the hip, and had penetrated so
far that an operation would be neces-
sary. :.
Accompanied by his aunt, Miss Car
RE C.. Reed, and his mother, who is a
hospital nurse, Mrs. Ira Giberson hur-
ried them to the Atlantic City Hos
pital. An X-ray was taken, which
showed that the bullet had penetrated
the bone. He was operated upon
Tuesday morning, but the bullet was
not removed. The surgeons agreed
that as the bullet was so deeply i'm
bedded in the bone, it would be dan
gerous to remove it. The boy is doing
as well as could be expected, but is
not yet out of danger and must re-
main in the hospital for some time.
The people of the town r very
much aroused by this careless acct
dent, and are making careful investi-
CATION. They have no doubt but that
they will find the guilty party. They
feel that something should be done to
prevent gunners' reckless use of other
peoples property in and around built
I'D sections.

HAMMONTON TEAM WAS
TOO MUCH FOR P. H. S.
Visitors Scored Two ~Touchdowns In
Latter Part Of Game for 9TH
Victory This Season.

Pleasantville High School football
eleven went down to defeat on last
Saturday afternoon when Hammonton
High, with its superior weight and
flushed with six previous victories,
plowed through the local lines for two
touchdowns, making the score 12-0.
In the first two periods of play Pleas
antville had been able to hold the
Hammonton warriors scoreless, but in
the last two periods they were power
less to prevent scores being made.
1t was the sensational line plunging
of Captain Harry Jacobs and Tony
Cappuccio, the pair of two hundred
pound halfbacks that brought Ham
monitor a victory.
Brute strength played an important
role in Harmonious sensational win.
The Maroon and White of Pleasant
a man than their opponents, made a
great effort to check the onslaught of
the invaders.
Time and again Hammonton High
had the oval within a scoring distance
Of the Pleasantville High Schools goal
line, but the great resistance of the
Maroon and White during the first
half, held Hammonton off,
A brilliant aerial attack in the initial
half gave Pleasantville High School
many large gains in the early part Of
the game. Hammonton High soon
fathomed these plays and the Maroon
and White resorted to straight football
afterwards.

WHITMAN AGAIN A DIRECTOR
OF WoRKINGMEN'S 3. & L. ASSN.

At the meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Workingmen's b. & L..
Association last Monday evening, Ber-
tram q. Whitman was elected a direc-
tor to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of James l.. Risley. Mr.. Whit
mar was n of the organizers of the
Association and its first President, re-
signing because other duties made it
impossible for him to give to the As
ISOLATION the time and attention he
deemed necessary. The Association,
however, would not let him go alto
gether as a member of their official
family, so he was elected and served
as an Auditor for two years. This
position, too, he felt it necessary to
relinquish. Mr.. Whitman is an Audi
tor of the Security B. & l.. Associa-
ton of Atlantic City, one of the larg-
est there, and has held official posi-
lions in several other Associations
with which he is associated. His re-
turn to the directorate of the Work
ingmen's is highly gratifying to the
Board and to the stockholders.

FELLOWSHIP SUPPER
ARRANGEMENTS PROGRESSING

Committees are busily engaged in
making arrangements for the Fellow
ship Supper to be held at Wesley
Church on the evening of Tuesday,
Nov. 20.
A chef specially proficient in the
art of serving oysters has been secur-
ed and the filings have all been plan
ned to make a repast most appetizing.
And it is to be absolutely free. There
will be no begging OF collections TAX
en-. The extent of the improvements
nearing completion will be outlined
and it is hoped to get a concerted in
terest in the church that will stimu-
late all organizations to go forward
in the Masters work. Following the
supper, a special program has been
prepared, which will include an adj
dress by some noted speaker, to be
announced later. The supper and en-
tertainment will be held in the re-
Gently completed basement of the
church, and with the idea of prevent
ing crowding the committee in charge
has thought it best to exclude all
children under twelve years who are
not accompanied by parents.
The affair is to be a true fellowship
gathering. Many new families have
moved to u community and in this
manner they may become acquainted
with the membership of the church
and made to feel perfectly at home.
The reception committee will see that
no n need feel that he is not prop
erly taken care of. A glad hand
awaits all who attend.

HOUSE NUMBERING is
AN IMPORTANT MATTER
Letter Carriers Find Several Houses
In Same Blocks With DupIicte
Numbers.

Now that the regular City delivery
of mail is an ~actuality, it behooves
all good citizens to conform strictly
to the regulations of the Post Office
department. There are two matters
of paramount Importance in the prop
er dispatching of the mails. One is
the correct numbering of the houses
and the other the providing of suita-
BILE r%eceptacles for the mail.
Postmaster Adams and his assist
ants are just as anxious to give the
citizens the best service the depart
ment provides as you are DESTROYS
that they should. In order to do this,
however, they must have the cooper
alton of the public generally.
Just prior to the establishment of
this service, the City authorities, in
conjunction with the local Chamber of
Commerce, went to considerable eX-
pense and trouble in providing a uni
form house numbering system for the
city. If this system is followed, there
could be no confusion, as every house
and every vacant lot has been provid-
ed with numbers. The correct num-
bers for your property were mailed
you by the City Clerk, and you should
see to it at once that your property
is provided with these numbers. Ii,
by any chance, you were overlooked
or the notification did not reach you,
your correct number will be supplied
by the City Clerk, upon notification to
that effect. This is one of the most
important features of the City deliy-
cry of mail.
The carriers have been experience
ing considerable difficulty along this
line. In Some instances they find two
properties bearing the same number
and located within the same block.
This necessitates extra work for the
carrier, as he has to make inquiry as
to which is the proper place to deliv-
er the mail, in the event that he does
not personally know. AS the routes
covered by the carriers are very long,
covering several miles, it can be read
lily seen that he has no time to waste.
The local authorities are very anxious
to bring this branch of the service
up to a high standard of excellence,
but it can only be done by your CO.
operation. Surely the local people
have sufficient civic pride to see that
the request of the postal authorities
is promptly carried out. Make it a
point to see that your property is cor
rectly numbered at once, and you will
not only be helping yourself, but your
neighbors as well.
