A traction engine that was being
taken up the Cherry Hill road
Friday by George Underwood got
little too far to the side of the road
two miles north of Elkton and was
thrown over into the ditch, which
is quite deep at that point. Mr..
Singerly happened to pass shortly
after, and directed Mr.. Underwood
to go to the mill at Elkton and have
a force of men sent out to replace it
on the road, free of cost, which was
done. The fiywheel of the engine
was broken by the fall.
Mr.. Singerly's hope of salvation
is in doing good, and it's not bad
| kind of religion.
