West Bergen.
The Ladies' Home and Missionary So
cietv of the West Side NJ. Z church is
d eveloping into a fine organization and
is doing good work. The Haven Home
in Savannah, Ga, receives two or three
barrels of clothing every year and one
young girl is being educated by the soci-
ETY.. Literature covering the work in
foreign lands is distributed every month
and the system of mite-boX collection is
employed with good success. The society
meets the first Wednesday of each month
at the church.
The Christmas service at the M. E..
Church this evening promises to be as in
teresting as heretofore. The service will
be varied this yea by an entrance fee of
gifts of all kinds for needy Inmates of in
situations of charity aud other outside
cases that may need attention. The
choir, under the direction of Mr.. Everett,
will render some excellent music.
Work on the new church ediice of the
South Bergen Reformed Church Will be-
gin some time in February. The struc-
ture will cost $4,000.
Messrs. James and William Beatty. of
Bergen avenue, have left for Ainityville,
L. l., to spend a week. They will while
away the hours duck hunting.
Ege avenue Is in q frightful condition.
The recent heavy rains have formed ruts
and holes the entire length OF the street,
making it in some places almost impass-
able. The sooner this, the principal
street leading to West Bergen, is paved,
the better it will be for the best interests
of this section. 1t needs attention at
once.
The question is asked many times as to
when the new hall will be built. AS vet.
this is Il conundrum, no one having
taken the matter in hand. aud the chances
are That none will be built this season.
This will, no doubt, be a crusher TO those
who thought that some capitalist would
invest some of mis- cash in a public halt.
and that West Bergen society would
soon lave a chance to exhibit themselves
in a hall of their own.
