We had prepared an account Of
the party given by Mesdames Handy, |
Leavitt and Medium last Monday
evening, but after it was written an
other account was handed in which
was SO much better than ours, and
being written by a lady who knows
how such things should be described,
that we set our notice aside and sub
stituted hers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Bell of Mar
vim, have rented the Blssell Hotel of
this city, and will take charge of it
January 8. The HERALD has learned
from travelling men and others that
Mr.. and Mrs. Bell are popular hotel
people. We welcome the family to
Phillipsburg, and hope that the bus
mess venture will prove to be a good
one for them.
