PHILADELPHIA. 



Clarence U. Liggitt, who has been 

 on the sick list since May 20th, was 

 reported better on June 1st and has 

 gone to Atlantic City for recuperation. 



Feels like summer. Water lilies 

 from the Jersey ponds have made 

 their appearance in the local flower 

 markets. Also it Is 92 in the shade 

 and mighty sticky. 



John G. Esler, of Saddle River, N. 

 J., was a visitor this week, his special 

 business being to look over the hail 

 damage to the Battles greenhouses at 

 Newtown Square on the 27th of May. 



Among the judges who officiated at 

 the great flower show in Lansdowne 

 on the 5th inst. were Mrs. Drew Bear, 

 Fred J. Michell, J. Otto Thilow and 

 Samuel S. Pennock. Roses were the 

 big feature. 



George Anderson, of 52nd and 

 Woodland avenue, who has been an 

 invalid for the past two years, is re- 

 ported about as usual and resting 

 easy. John Burton and Dennis Con- 

 nor, two of those who have paid a 

 visit in the past week, say that he is 

 cheerful and can walk a little farther. 

 His place is for sale, as he does not 

 intend to operate the plant further. 



We hear that the Commodore will 

 give his old cronies a dinner at his 

 bungalow at Waretown on the 21st 

 inst. The occasion is his regular an- 

 nual anniversary — the third Friday of 

 June — which has become now a his- 

 torical event — this being the seven- 

 teenth year since he opened the bun- 

 galow on his six hundred acre farm 

 on the west shore of Barnegat Bay. 

 The writer is using his best guile 

 just now when he meets the old gen- 

 tleman. We hope to get an invitation, 

 and you have got to be in big with the 

 old salt if you are one of the favored 

 few. 



This is a sample of the word we get 

 from the boys, all of whom we are 

 proud of and admire their spirit: 



"If I hadn't been here these past nine 

 months (Anniston, Ala.), of my own 

 free will, I'd have felt there was no 

 true Scottish blood in me, and I'd 

 have been ashamed to call myself a 

 son of Jamse M. Thoirs. No doubt 

 by the time you receive this we will 

 have left for overseas. It has been 

 a wonderful experience and I have 

 made many true friends." 



That is one of the compensations 

 of this world cataclysm. It gives the 

 hoys a great chance to develop. Hope 

 they all get back safe. 



Wm. Duckham, of the Duckham- 

 Pierson Co., Madison, N. J., passed 

 through our midst May 31 on his way
