News of the serious illness of DIR. Wal
lace McGeorge, at his home in Camden
was received by friends here on Tuesday
He contracted cold on the 28th, but kept
up with his professional duties until the
3lst of last month, when he took to his
bed, and his physician now fears typhoid
pneumonia.
The annual report which Grand Keeper

the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, will
make to the Grand Lodge meeting on Feb

Is, l80-an increase of about 275 during the
year. This is showing of which the order
may well be proud.
The Constitution is supposed to be ar
authority on what is to be done in this
county by Gov. Griggs, hence we quote
what it says on the subject of Law Judge
In due time Gov. Griggs may be expected
to nominate John S. Jessup. Esq for Law
Judge of this county to succeed Judge
Clymer whose term will soon expire. There
will be no opposition to his appointment"
In walking from his home to the post
Office last Monday morning, John 1. Estell,
one of our old citizens fell just after cross
| ing the bridge, and an examination by his
physician DR.. H. C Clark, revealed that
small bone of the hip was broken. The
fracture is of such nature that it cannot
be set, and improvement must be slow.
The names OF Dr.Geo. E. Reading, Geo,
w. Cattell, Theo. F. Burrows. E. c. Leeds
and Geo. w. Curtis are mentioned in con-
nection with the City Treasury nomination.
Over in the First Ward. the names of Geo.
K. Carroll, E L. Cloud. and Harry Glading
are being used as candidates for Council,
and in the Second, Samuel H. Laid will
probably be named for Council. In the
Third Ward the terms of Jacob Fl. Bibo
and J. M. Henderson expire, and we are
not able to state, with any degree of accur-
acy, as to the inclination of either as to re-
election.
In the days when the Democrats were
charged with county affairs, and when in
one year they built two bridges abandoned
by turnpikes, at cost of $4,000 on a tax
levy of $50, 900 for the entire county leaving
debt of 81 900, it was case of terrible
Encouragement. Now, that the Boards
from which both our brethren of the press
here draw salaries, make annual demands
for $4,000, and expend it before the year
is over, it is a matter not worthy of mention.
or official report. Brother Barber, dom /
let that $3.50 salary keep you from telling
what you think. We would like to COM
pany your mind, burdened with salary,
with your mind of four years ago, burdened
only with Democratic Board Of Free
holders, that was doing its duty to the
people.
As DIR. Fl. A. Wilson stopped his horse
next the curb in front of the post Office
Wednesday afternoon the animal lost his
footing and fell. At first it was supposed
she had slipped on the ice next the curb,
but the doctor says she came direct from
the shop, sharp shod; further, that had she
slipped, she would have fallen from the
gutter whereas she fell toward it. 1t was
found that the iron trolley pole there was
heavily charged with electricity, and the
water in the gutter was in the same con-
dition, and the horse went down through
contact with 500 volts. Councilman Laid
sent word to the Company of the condition
of the pole.and men came directly down and
repaired the insulation. 1t is safe now, but
number of horsemen recollect that their
horses acted strange when stopped at that
point during the day.
