age works at Elizabethport, shut down
and the 700 employees were informed
that work would be resumed Sept. 1st.
The reason given for the suspension
was that heavy order from the Rus

The Blawenburg correspondent of
the Somerset UniOnist- Gazette thus
speaks of Sylvie Dubois. the aged col
ored woman of Sourland Mountain
"Old Sylvie" and her gay young
daughter, aged seventy-tive, visited
this neighborhood again last week, on
a begging tour. Old Sylvie is one of
the marvels of the age. 1t has been
satisfactorily proven that she is one
hundred and sixteen years old, and
she has very few of the infirmities of
that age; can still enjoy her pipe and
a good hearty meal with zest, and al
though entirely toothless, knows moth
ing of indigestion. She and her
daughter have depended for years
upon public charity for subsistence,
and Sylvie can still walk and carry a
basket of provisions for miles with
ease.
