LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.


DG1fHSAUUs
The grippe is quite prevail
ent in this locality and the sur
rounding neighborhood. Quite
a number are indisposed; among
whom we notice Mr.. Thomas
Pearrell, Harry Knipe and 9TH
ers.
Mr.. John Ropp, near here, has
been seriously i'll for the past
week or more, but at present, is
improved.
Master Howard Nicely has
been suffering with an attack
of diptheria, for a week or more.
We are happy to report his inn
provement. Great fear is felt
that the disease will spread,
and it is to be hoped that it will
be checked before it becomes
serious. Through the efforts of
our efficient physicians, Drs.
Lemaster and Davis, we feel
sure that there will be no dam
ger.
Mrs. Anna Beard made a fly
ing visit to friends near Shop
herdstomn, one day last week.
Mr.. David Anderson has gone
on a few weeks visit to his
family, at Clearspring, Md.
Mrs. John Jack, of Broad
Lane, is visiting her daughter,
in the village, for several days.
Miss Ella Pearrell and sister,
Mrs. 0. G. Miller, near Van
clevesville, were visiting their
grand parents, last week.
The Literary Society was not
as largely attended last Friday
night as formerly; and owing to
the illness of several who had
part in the exercises was not
quite as interesting as usual.
The Society has proven to be
quite an entertaining feature,
and large crowds attend. Those
who take part in the meetings
are to be commended for their
earnest exertions in making it a
success.
Bessie, the interesting little
child, of Mr.. and Mrs. Brent
Miller, near here, died Jan. 16
1897, at her home, after an i'll
ness of a few weeks, aged 6
years. She was a very preco-
cious child, and was the pet of
her happy home. But the va
cant spot she has left can ne'er
be filled, and her happy laugh,
winning smiles, and merry
songs of mirth are all silent for
ever. The bereaved home has
the sympathy of the entire com
munity in this sad hour of sor-
row.
Lovely Bessie, how brief thy stayl
Short and hasty was thy day;
Ending soon thy journey here,
Pain and grief no more to bear.
| Jesus called her. for he loved her,
Better far than we can love,
Took her from earth's bitter sorrow,
And transplanted her above"

The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1897-09-22

There has been considerable said about
the picnic at Pottersville, 10 this county,
few Sundays ago, at which unlimited
quantities Of "beer checks were sold
and exchanged for beer. The Somerset
county officials are to be congratulated on
their action, which saved that county
from the disgrace Of having permitted
such an affair within its limits II Prose
cutor HayhuIst had been at home at that
time, he would undoubtedly have heartily
CO operated in the action taken
1t is well known, however, that the
matter was fully presented to the recent
Grand Jury of our county, but as yet we
have heard Of no indictments. There is
justitlsble suspicion that a certain politi-
cal leader OF the county who was sup
posed to be dead, has not yet let go his
hold. At all events, this gentleman was
prominently identified with the picnic,
and it is quite certain no one is indicted.
As long as the present Grand Jury sys-
TEN is continued, and with the present
system of selecting them, it would seem
to make little difference how able or
psinstaking the court and prosecutor may
be, ii will be practically impossible TO
maintain the respect that is due the law.
