The problems of the attendance offi1 eers will be discussed by attendance officers of the county led by Truman Hiclcmsn, of Middle Township, and Mr. Downing, of Wildwood. The County Superintendent will name the numerous county school organizations and describe their work, and their aims. There will be a morning session only, so as to permit the members to I attend the County Athletic Meet in the ' afternoon. Dr. Cornell ia one of the ablest of physicians and it is a great I^Boon to .have him address this meeting. " The medical inspectors of the county should not fail to attend and member of the boards of education and officers of all kinds, and the public at large ! will find it well worth while to make I f Ul* of this opportunity to hear so ■ eminent a speaker.

THE OLD-TIME TAVERNS STORIES OF OLD TIMES AND OLD CUSTOMS IN ,CAPE MAY COUNTY WITH ALLUSIONS TO ANTI-SA- ^ LOON SENTIMENT. By Joseph R. Wilson. ,p (Written for the Star and Wave)

r. ' The old taverns were for the accommo- , <lation of the traveling public. A laW ie was passed regulating them. They were 1- required to have so many rooms and ir beds; and a certain number of stalls for ' n ( beasts. Twelve reputable freeholders o were required to testify on the applicaic tion, that the one seeking license was a ,e man of good repute for honesty and soit briety. If thesd requirements were sat- -• isfving to the Court license was given y to keep the house and to dispense alco- "» holic drink by the glass to all persons ■s who applied, except minors. This law is e still on the statute books. c | About seventy-five years ago or less, 0 there were about 40 of these places in ' Cape May County that have passed away. Some df the houses are now ' even obliterated. ' I The oldest one I have knowledge of e was tile old Lawrence Tavern, located 1 about five miles above Dennisville, on '' the' old Stage Road to Port Elizabeth. " That was the the main stage road n though now scarcely traveled. This f house was kept by Mr. Lawrence, a large and extensive land ownerjind- he had , I quite a number of children. A French- ] man by the name of Benezet called at | f ' this tavern, and was smitten with the ' j good looks and the smiles of Mary, one ! ^ of the daughters, and eventually mar- J ried her. Mr. Lawrence gave them a I ^ farm at the East Creek mill pond, and ' a large tract of woodland and built them j ^ j house which is still in existence. It e was on this farm Anthony. James, John and other Benezet children first e I saw the light of day. The land they n | owned and still is called the Lawrence r and Benezet tracts. The late John WilI son bought all of Beneoet's interest, and e considerable from Mr. Lawrence, and j 1 some is still held by some of the Wilson e I The writer, when about sixteen years c of age, was put in the cedar swamps, „ 1 on the Benezet tract to get rails. It was I j a scorching day in June. When he' j reached home his father said, "Jdto, how , j1 would you like to learn a trade." My 1 j reply was, "yes." John^Benezet was en4 gaged in the carriage business at- Mul- I ' 1 lica Hill. I was bound to him until I j » j attained the age of 21 years, then ' worked journeyman work 'for Anthony] Benezet until I engaged in business for 1 myself. Returning now to the old, taverns that | have passed away. The silent forces of I j time and fire have destroyed every por- | tion of tbe house where hospitality, revelry and mirth held their sway, is now j J the abode of the owl, the raven qnd t amid the branches of the trees growing 1 near the site of the house, the bat -and j | squirrel make their home. I At North Dennisville was a tavern 1 kept by Ingate Stanford. I thing he ! had married one of Mr. Law-rence's girls, j | He kept the house a long time, and it 1 t pas Bed into the possession of Jacob Wells ■ This was a popular resort. The old line ; f of stages running from Cape May to ' ^ Philadelphia would round up there and 1 , change. The neighbors, many of them | I not drinking men, would congregate and talk over the events of the day most all 1 of the county taverns employed a fid- 1 ; j dler to entertain and make fun and frolic j for the patrons. I In those days deer were plentiful. J One night a man Whose given name was i"J "Bill! came in with a package of jeer ' I meat which he had for his portion from • the day's hunt. Placing his package on a table, he called the boys to take a ' drink. There was a young man by the | name of •'Leam," full of fun and tricks. ' As Bill was somewhat befuddled when he was ready to go home, Leam went . I to the cow yard and from the material r found unperreived. made up a package , ! similar to Bill's and substituted for the ! ] I I deer meat package. Bill left forphome I late that c^gjpg and hf picked 'up the ] bundle. Being a stutterer, he' said, "I j ( j am g-going t-to h-have Han-Han 1 ^ ' er-ett to-to c-cook this for my-my j . ■ dinner." His wife was surprised in the j j morning when she opened the package to ' | find corn sta|ks and fertilizer instead of | 1 deer meat. Bill was not long in getting I ' back to Well's tavern and he found his 1 package of venison where he had left ' it on the table in the bar room. It was ] fortunate for Leam that he was not , there. Bill was a fighter and he was full ^ of fight that .morning. At the close of the Civil War an im- ' migrant ship was wrecked at Town send 1 The passengers were safely lamped ' and brought over to South Seaville to t take the train for Philadelphia. He people from the surrounding country came to at* them. He writer, among others arrived too late, the train having jnst left." Bat am ing hone, as wu drew I Mar DeaaisriTU, we met Learning Mae 1

,f — d and Watson Edwards. Hey had supn plied themselves from Well's bar, a *• quantity of "Oh, be joyful," to give to the unfortunates at Seaville station. We had been disappointed, and misery * I likes company, so we let them go on the journey. As they had. made much preparation to meet, and greet these immi- : grants it was a great disappointment . e | Those who knew of their journey took e | interest in jollying them. "Did you see " | the immigrants!" would be the salutaa 1 tion for quite a time. They censured me ® I for not telling them that the immgrants a had left on the train. A few weeks after this event large no- '' tices were posted around Dennisville and vicinity that Governor Parker would be F at the Methodist Church at 7.30 p. m., e also would be at Tuckahoe in the after- ^ noon, at 2.30 to speak on the issues of the day. Leam Rice and Watson Edwards took much interest in gixing it publication and in making arragements to receive the Governor. Hey 8 secured Jesse Diverty to welcome the '' Governor at the Church, and came to me 8 . and said we ought to meet the Governor 8 j at Tuckahoe and escort him to Dennisj ville. For this purpose there was se- ' | lected Jos. Allen, Jos. R. Wilson, Captain William Tyler and himself. We ar- ' j rived at Tuckahoe about 2 p. m. We j found, at the Tuckahoe hotel Doctor Ed- " I mund Wales who had been to Dennisville ' j and had seen one of the posters. Send- ' I ing word to Judge Heziakiah Godfrey he j came in to wait the arrival of the Gov- ^ j ernor. He time passed, but no Gdvernor came. Learning Rice seemed much disappointed before we left for home. " I told Docctor Wales I believed it was J I one of Leam Rice's jokes. He doctor and Judge Godfrey were quite angry and ^ two madder man never left Tuckahoe than Joseph Allen and Captain Bill Tyj ler. He told Rice he was going to write to the Governor. At times Allen would - laugh and then he would get mad. He ^ i-joke was so good I would laugh all the time. Learning Rice rode over with j 1 , Captain Bill. He was not doing any s i laughing. We decided that as we had I been fooled we would let the Dennisville ^ number of carriages snd many people j awaiting the arrival of the Governor, I crowd. Hey came, old Democrats, I people get a portion, if we did not. We I | would be targets for everybody. As we . " | passed Jacob Wells tavern there were a | to take supper with him. Mr. Allen put his horse at full speed, as he passed. | They wanted to hail us. Allen was too ^ mad to stop. Reaching home he being sexton of the church, opened it up. I , lighted all the lamps and waited for the ^ 1 young Democrats, old Republicans and ' j young Republicans. The house- was' ' , filled down stairs and the galleries were! crowded. Jesse Diverty was there with | speech at tongue's end. Seven thirty I came. No Governor. Eight p. m. passed I I and soon after a man came to the church i door and shouted in a loud voice, "Did | you see the Governor!" Watson Ed- 1 . ; wards disappeared in the darkness of j the night. Revenge was sweet. Hey reteliated on their visit t o see the i I A few years after this a wave of tem- , pe ranee passed over Dennisville.. When j Jacob Wells presented his application I for renewal of license a remonstrance was also presented <0 the judge and hiB was refused, which was the salvation of Mr. Wells. He was converted and joined the Baptist Church, and opened up his home where sin onoe reigned, for prayer meetings and grace did much abound. Jacob Wells ever .aflived, and died in the faith.
