SOLD BY LEADING DRUGGIST3 5fTA BOTTLE Speak ins of State Assessor David Baird, the Commercial Journal of New York City, says: . Firat of all he is a business man, whose progressive action and fair dealing have served ?to build up one of the largest enterprise in the State— the David Baird Lumber Company, Inc., which is known everywhere for the size and importance of its business in lumber, spars, masU, piling, poles of all kinds, etc. Had he done nothing else but build up this vast concern it (would have been enough, but when in addition he is everywhere known as one of the foremost citizens, in financial, philanthropic and political life, his great value to his State can be seen at a glance. All of his ventures.'have been crowned with success, and never has the finger of scandal been pointed at him. For over 80 years director of the hirst National Bank of Camden, he was elected President some four years ago, and at once the institution became more important, and many large Camden firms removed deposits theretofore kept in Philadelphia, and opened accounts with the First National. . As one of the leaders and chief advisors of the Republican party in New Jersey he is alao well known. Of a attiring disposition he has nevertheless befen tforoec" to accept .public office, having been representative of the State in National conventions, a Presidential elector-at-large, land other similar offices of the highest honor. On two occasions Mr. Baird has been urged to become a candidate for the United States Senate, but his loyalty to his friends occupying that position has kept him from the field. Resigning from the Board of State Assessors, to which he was appointed in 1896, he was elected Sheriff of Camden County for the second time, having been previously Elected Sheriff in 1887, and again in 1906. In 1901 he was reappointed to ths Board of Assessors by Governors Voorhees and Stokes in 1 which he has (served faithfully and well. Such id brief is the public career of Mr. Baird. Volumes can be < written concerning his value and use- < fulness to the State of which he is so honorable a citizen, but it is sufficient to say that wherever men congregate with the best interests of New7jersey at heart, here the name of Honj David Baird stands foremost, so that in taking this occasion of placing before its * readers a brief mention of the life of the man whose service to the State' entitles nim to all honor and consideration.

We extend congrat- ' ulations that Cape May's Council was civil enough to permit the Government ' to do it this favor. Here, the Government was snubbed, and told that kiosks were things which the city did not • care to have erected, Jor something to that effect. Cape May has an ornament which will be of ihterest to visitors, and useful to all since it will keep the public informed as to weather ' conditions and also weather data as , it is registered automatically every hour.— Atlantic City Review.

" How much [or little they^do this is in ' evidence by the Jehu style iu which a majority drive fdown Broadway into I 1 Cape May at anywhere from a ten to ^ ' twenty mile pace.

Willis has built a fence on and , around the rear of his lot on Landis , It might not be amist just at this ! juncture, while Cape May City's Board of Trade is more or less active, for us to remember that we also have such a organization which should be taken out of the drawer and aired. Why not? Have we not as fine and attractive in- ; ducementa to offer as any other town, ' either for building residences or establishing industrial enterprises.
