mas days, so notable that not even the
memory Of the oldest ~inhabitant runncth
to the contrary, or is able to recall its
equal for bright sunshine and balmy tenn
perature. 1t was practically a tropical win
ter day, and as such was enjoyable indoors
or out.
Woodstown was full of people from all
the surrounding country on Saturday after
noon, and the hitehing posts were all in
use. One OF our friends tells us he stood
on the corner Of Main street and East
avenue in the afternoon and counted from
there eighty.four teams hitched along the
streets.
On the steamer Reybold on Monday
from Penasgrove were shipped IS barrels
OF moss and over 30, 900 yards of greens,
for sale in Philadelphia for Christmas dec
Grafton. The supply of Christmas trees
sent to Philadelphia was said to be in ex-
cess of the demand. and many dealers had
their stock left on hand on Wednesday.
When you wish to discontinue your SUBJ
scription to a newspaper ask the publisher
to send you a statement of your account,
on the receipt of which remit the amount
due and say discontinue my paper from
date" There is a right and wrong way of
doing everything, and the right way to dis
continue a newspaper subscription is as
above stated.
A company of ten persons sat down to a
Christmas dinner in our borough, and not
one OF the number is living a married life.
The party consisted of two widows, one
widower, four old (but not very old
maids. two old bachelors, and one yonng
girl. The ice cream provided for the oc-
casion was furnished by VIM. Clark, and
the reporter is requested by the whole
company to say that it, the cream, was
just splendid.
Alfred Biddle, who at one time honored
Woodstown with his presence, was sentenc-
ed last week in Gloucester County Courts
to three years Imprisonment at Trenton on
a charge of burglary. He was taken to
Trenton by Sheriff Ridgway on Monday,
and the prison officials at once recognized
him as having been there before. He had
served one year, having been sent up from
this county in 1884 for entering the shoe
store of L. S. Davis.
Apropos of the very warm weather we
have been having during the fall and VIM
ter months, we might state that the fall
of 1899 was very similar. George M. Ward
of Salem, who resided with his father, on
the Cooper farm, in Camden at that time,
is authority for the statement that they
turned the COWS out to pasture, and made
grass butter until the first of January, 1880
and the weather was unusually mild, but
winter set in on the 9th of that month,
and a four-foot snow fell, which laid,
with frequent additions, until the follow
ing April; and for -four days there was no
communication between Camden and
Philadelphia.
Keep your eye on the newspapers and
see which of the merchants want your GUS
tom and are sufficiently courteous to invite
you to call. There is a good deal more in
advertising than you may think. 1t is not
only to tell of his goods that a man adver-
tises, but it is to invite the people who
read-the thinking, the intelligent-to pay
him q visit and judge for themselves as to
the quality and price of what he offers for
sale. People read the advertisements.
Don't make any mistake about that. They
are just as much interested in knowing
where to buy to an advantage as the man
who advertises is in selling his goods.
Churcn notes.
The meeting of the Society of Christian
Endeayor in the Baptist Chapel next Tues
day night will be an experience meeting.
Rev. E. NJ. Ogden, of Hammonton, who
filled the pulpit of the Baptist Church
last Sunday, will again occupy it next
| Sunday.
The early Christmas morning prayer
meeting held in the NJ. f. Church was
very well attended and was an occasion of
great interest and much enjoyed by all
present.
An old fashioned watch night service
will be held in the M. E. Church on Tues
day night, commencing at 9.30 and c~ontinu-
ing till the coming in of the new year. An
appropriate ermon will be preached by
the pastor.
Next Sabbath, at the M. f. Church, the
| pastor, Rev. A. II. Eberhardt, will preach
at 10 A. M. a sermon to the aged, ''Three
Score Years and Beyond At Up. NJ. a
'sCandle Sermon, " addressed to all classes,
both old and young.
The Deerfield Presbyterian congrega-
ton propose, it is said, to lay a marble
slab in the church yard, three feet by six,
in memory of the Rev. John Brainerd,
whose remains lie buried under the present
floor of the church. Inscriptions will tell,
from the face of this stone, the story of a
great life, in its self denial and success
among both white and red men. The
StODe COMMUNICATING tuiS ueFottu HIS
| ~sionary will be placed side by side with
that of Rev. Enoeh Green, and will be of
the same size.
Rev. George X. Morris, d. d., a former
pastor of the NJ. i. Church, at this place,
but at present pastor of a Philadelphia NJ.
Il. Church, has received a call to St. Paul's
M. E. Church of Cincinnati, Ohio. The
church which has extended him a unani-
nous call is probably the richest and most
| influential charge OF that denomination in
the West. Bishop Joyce, who was elected
at the last General Conference held in New
| York, was pastor of the Cincinnati church
at the time of his election. DR.. Morris
has not yet decided whether he will accept
or refuse the call.
