Nathaniel Holmes was the first president, and Richard TMpmpson, secretary, and the following named gentlemen were chosen vice presidents: Jos. Fallsenburg, Joshua Swain, Sr., Thomas H. Hughes, John Williams, Parmcnus Corson, Israel Townsend and Rev. Thomas Robinson. Mr. Jacob Foster was made treasurer and Depository. It seems by the old records that James Hawthorn and Wm. Uervey were the agents at the time of the parent Society and were instrn mental in organizing the Cape May branch. It appears that the Society's records from this meeting are lost tin 1830 when they again arc found and continue to the present time, being yearly atated. Dr. James 8. Kennedy's name la signed to the proceedings of *80 as secretary, the annual meeting being held at the "Ialand." Richard D. Edmunds was for many years sccrrtary of the society, the records of the time showing the organization to be In a flourishing condition. Following him, L. C. Cummlngs signature Is appended to the annual events of the society. Rev. E. F. HhTiiTiTs, Kov. GidoonF. Bishop and Edgar Page Stiles have served the organization faithfully In a clerical capacity, and about all the Hiding men of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches of the county have, at one time or an other, in some capacity, been identified in the work of Bible distribution. The late Dr. Sheldon, of Princeton, is well known to workers of the county of a few years ago. His annual coming was looked for with eagcrness.aod the inoocy then collected about the county was a larger sum than now. There may be many reasons for this, the chief of which seems to bo that the denominations cooperating with the Society have with „

In these days, each Urge publishing tl houses of their own, tropi, or through g which, Bibles are scattered over the u land tending to take the place of the K American Society. ThU may be a rause » for finding the yearly collection drop- „ ping from the handsome sum of about » |200 to quite an Insignificant amount. It 0 of oourae does not show leas Interest In e the general distribution of the Scrip- J, tares, bat that there are more means to h effect that purpose. The old society n ought to be maintained. A small con- ], trlbutioo from each friend of the cause h will do it. Bend in to the next meeting b •Seavllle on Saturday of this week, the „ earnest of friendship to the cause. The c late Charles Hand, of Court House, N. 0 C.

With the co-operation that lias never foiled us for twenty-six years, we're going to do a business that will 1 'beat any of tjjcni. We can't do it without you. We * want you an.l all .your neighbors. 1 he plain way of telling how is to say : We have •better clothing than we ever had— ,\Jen's, Young * Men s, Boys', Children's Better it couldn't be in 1 reliability. Better it is in every other way. - Style is the note of excellence in clothing. It goes only with good quality. You know it isn't worth while to tie good style, or work either, with less. I hat s common sense. livery dollar you spend with us for clothing you'll j spend for reliable goods, and as stylish as you desire. We have made up the fine qualities — from tngland, ire-land, Scotland.' France, Germany, and largest of all. from home-made cloths — as well as the durable ami low-priced. That brings us to "Ironclad." You heard of "Ironclad last winter. Strong, strong, very strong. We have it again. People i who- had it the.i ore after it for another spell | of lard wear. The quality is better: the q CJ price the same. You may think from the 3 C price it's low grade. > It isn't. We refer you o , O to your neighbors who wear it Men's I ^5 Suits, $1 2 oo: Men's Overcoats, gio.oo. You can't break or tear it Send for samples, if you can't come to the city.
