Cape May County Freeholders. At the meeting of the old Board on Wednesday last the Holly Beach Journal was authorized to print the Collector's statement. Another effort was made to add the Ocean City News to the list, but the motion was lost by a vote of 9 to 6.

It was ascertained that back taxes were due the County as follows: Cape May Point, for 1892 $897.69 " " " " 1893 769.99 Holly Beach 274.92 Ocean City 300.00 Sea Isle City 1316.81

Total $3,558.41 The standing resolution providing for the meeting of the Bill Committee one day prior to the meeting of Board was rescinded.

Mr. Devitt was authorized to sell the county wharves at Dennis Creek Landing, and Alex. Corson was appointed to oversee the repairing of bridge over Cedar Swamp Creek. Adjourned to meet at the almshouse on June 14th, at 10 o'clock a. m. The W. C. T. U. Convention. The twelfth Semi-annual Convention of the Women's Christian Temperance Union of Cape May county was held in the M. E. Church at Tuckahoe on the

4th inst.

The county president, Mrs. Ludlam Hand, presided and called the convention to order. Opening prayer, roll call of officers and superintendents, reading of minutes and appointing of committees on credentials, resolutions and courtesy was followed by a cordial address of welcome by Mrs. Lillie Camp, of the Presbyterian Church of Tuckahoe, which was responded to by Miss Fannie Holmes, of Dennisville. A helpful Bible reading on "Sabbath Observance" was ably conducted by Mrs. Hattie Carroll, of Dennisville. The morning session closed with the "Noontide prayer." At 1 o'clock the executive meeting was held, Mrs. Emma Bourne, State president, in the chair. On motion it was decided to hold "a school of methods" on the 14th of July in the Auditorium at Ocean City, and we learned that Mrs. Emma Bourne and Mrs. Boole will lecture at the same place on July 15th, that being W. C. T. U. Day. At 2 o'clock the devotional exercises were conducted by Miss Emma Corson and Miss Mary Lake, of this city. The address by the State President which followed was full of earnest thought and encouragement. Special mention was made of the passage of the Scientific Temperance Instruction bill, which has been so long worked for in this State. Mrs. Edgar Smith, of Seaville, gave an excellent talk on temperance work among young people. The Rev. Mr. Frayme, of the Baptist Church, was introduced and spoke a few minutes very earnestly indorsing the work of the W. C. T. U. Rev. D. I. Camp, of the Presbyterian Church, spoke of the good they were doing as a Christian organization and of the practical help of the Christian Endeavor societies along the line of temperance. Mr. Hann, of the M. E. Church, spoke briefly and to the point. Miss Clara Parrish, of Paris, Illinois, then came in and addressed the children who had assembled to sing for the

convention. She talked to them as only one who loves little children and would teach them truths never to be forgotten. She also addressed the young ladies, and laid the foundation for organizing a "Young Women's Branch" of the W. C. T. U. in Tuckahoe. The evening devotions were lead by Rev. Mr. Camp and Rev. Mr. Hann. The lecturer for the evening was Miss Parrish, of Illinois, who spoke to a full house. It was one of the grandest lectures it has ever been our privilege to listen to from the lips of a young woman to young woman. The Resolution Committee reported and the resolutions presented were adopted as a whole. The Credential Committee reported thirty-eight delegates--three from Cape May City, seven from Dennisville,

seventeen from Tuckahoe and eleven from Ocean City. Many visitors were also present.

The ladies of Tuckahoe served an abundant dinner and supper in the W. C. T. U. room to all delegates and visitors. The floral decorations in the church were particularly appropriate and beautiful.

The visit to Tuckahoe will long live in the memories of the twelve who went from our city. The annual convention of the county will be held in Ocean City in September next.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, May 14, 1894.

KING COTTON

There's a clicking of looms on the third floor. It locates one of the most interesting industrial exhibits ever made in this store. COTTON is the central thought--from the seed to the finished goods. There's a cotton gin at work and looms turning out Japonette and Swivel Silk Gingham and tableaux representing

Cotton Picking The Wadding Family King Cotton's Court

Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin.

The figures in these tableaux are all worked from raw cotton. The features are surprisingly like-like, yet neither framework nor "form" of any

kind was used in fashioning them.

DRESS GOODS The first of May marked a downward movement in our prices the like of which had not been seen in the past. The amended prices touched more and better Dress Goods than were held in our could be shown by any other stock in this country. Concentrated public attention is forcing off the goods and rightly. But the revolving trade wheels are still evolving newness and brightness and marvelous cheapness. Would you know? Read

WOODLAND CEMETERY. A Great Want Supplied.

A charter has been recently obtained and a Tract of Land containing thirty acres situate on the south side of the railroad, north of Ocean View station, secured, and has been surveyed and laid out with convenient and tastefully arranged drives, and plotted in lots, a plan of which can be seen at the office of Jos. I. Scull, Secretary, Sea Isle City, or Robt. Fisher, Ocean City. All lots are larger than customary size.

The West Jersey Railroad Company has built a large platform, and made Woodland Cemetery a regular stop for all local trains, thus afford-

ing a great convenience for funerals to come on the train, either from Ocean City, Sea Isle City or Avalon. The prices of Burial Lots in the Woodland Cemetery are cheaper than in any other first-class cemetery in the county. The Company invite special attention to the numerous advan-

tages offered to purchasers in their grounds. Come in and view them. nature and art invite inspection and admiration. Now is the time to secure a place of interment in the very best cemetery in South Jersey. We say the VERY BEST. It is so on account of its improvements. The cemetery is highly respectable in character and class of interments in its grounds; many advantages and inducements concentrate here to attract the living, and on account of elevation it is eminently the best. Besides, it is not embarrassed with debt. It is not exceeded anywhere as a beautiful and final resting place. For further information apply to JOS. I. SCULL, Secretary, Sea Isle City, N. J.
