SIuwo OF THE TIMES AND THEIR INTERPRETATION An effort is being made to have a roller skating carnival on Washington Street, which wii! probably occur on Thanksgiving Day or evening. The mardi gras on Monday evening wsa a great success. Perhaps nothing ever undertaken in this city was carried out bo completely and so satisfactorily. A gratifying thing in connection with it was that West Cape May, Lower Township and Cape May Point, were largely represented and supplied a most interesting part af the display. This whole section of country should be united in all things as they were in this for the interests of all are identical and the boundary lines to municipalities should have no influence in separating the people. We accept this very successful event as an omen of good fortune and believe that it' marks the beginning of a new era in which we hope big developments may occur. A called meeting for organization of the shareholders of the Building Association of the First Baptist Church ffill be held at the church on Monday. November 8, at 7.45- p. m.
