The parsonage of the Sandy Ridge
Baptist Church has been repaired and put
in good condition, which has been long
needed. A new roof, wood work inside
and paint in general, have added much to
the appearance and convenience OF the
property. Some needed repairs will also
be given to the church editice, which is
almost new, and with slight exceptions is
in good condition.
"A new county bridge is being built in
Stockton, over the creek that recently
overlooked and flooded that place so bad
ly. The old structure, an arch bridge,
was entirely too small for big rain and
more especially the rains of 1889, that
will long be remembered. The old bridge
was not in good condition, yet it stood SO
firm as to catch tho drifting material of
the frcshets and turn the channel in an
other direction.
"A correspondent of the Trenton True
american, in giving report of the Dem
ocratic County Convention of Hunterdon,
held on Monday, says that the nominee
for Surrogate :" was a Democrat when 1t
was dangerous to be Democrat" and
that he was arrested by "Fatty" Dean be-
cause he was Democrat. What spite
has the True american and its cores
pondent against the Democratic candidate
that such stuff is written and published
