WILLIAMSTOWN.

Well the great jubilee is over. great
number Of our people attended last week,
and all seem to be of one opinion, that it
was great success.
Alexander Cassidy, an old resident of
Washington township, was buried here in
the Presbyterian cemetery.
The interior Of the M. E. church is being
re decorated, also new carpet and painting
added all of which is very much needed
Some of our energetic young people held
supper and social in the Town Hall last
Saturday nights and $50 was realized which
will go toward the payment of the expense.
Our teachers will attend the Teachers
Institute this week, thereby closing the
schools for the balance of the week.
Monday night being Halloween, the
boys cut great merry capers, such as I'M
Ringing gates, tearing away steps, etc.
Some of our people were very much
alarmed last Monday by hearing con-
tiDuous blowing of a whistle. which sound
ed in the direction of Glassboro Some
said they thought the factories were Oh
fire. One young man got a telescope and
climbed to the top of one of the high stacks
in the factory yard, and claimed he could
see the blaze But on investigation, it was
found that some youngsters were out for a
good time, as it was the night when the
boys seem to have the old nick in them
had tied the whistle down over at the saw
mill at Downer. II it bad been the first OF
April it would have been great joke, but
it wasn't bad one as it was.
Several new blowers have arrived in
town to go to work in the new tank which
is expected to start this week.
For the first time Williamstown has had
a Gubernatorial candidate in town, that is
a Democratic candidate. Ga last Friday
the 2Sth ult.. Elvin W. Crane, the next
Governor of New Jersey, accompanied by
Samuel Iredell, the Democratic Congress
sional candidate; Capt. StrattoD, candidate
for Assembly; Thos 9 Dilkes, candidate
for Surrogate; DIR. Rogers, candidate for
Coroner; ex Judge Cox, ex-Judge Miller,
Ex-Governor of ARIZONA @. Meyer Zulick,
and others, arrived here on the 10 80 train
from Glassboro, being met at the depot by
the Democratic Township Committee.
were escorted to the Town Hall where
fair sized audience was in waiting, yet the
audience was not one,halt as large as it
would have been, had the meeting been
held in the evening, as a great many of
our people, as have stated before, we're at
the Jubilee, and then it was just at noon
when it was not convenient for a great
many to leave home to come in town. as
the majority of the Democratic voters live
out side the town. Nevertheless the
audience seemed to be very attentive and
paid strict attention to what was said
especially to Mr.. Crane, as he dive t
altogether on State issues, showing the
working people how he had been their
friend while member of the legislature,
by producing evidence to prove what lie
said was bonifed.
The meeting that Crane had made votes
in WILLIAMSBURG. Note the difference dur
ing the present week. Candidate Voor-
bees and the other candidates were here,
but am pretty sure that no such remarks
were made Mr. Voorhees, told The people
how the Democrats had squandered the
money, etc !, hut he did not tell them how
their taxes had been increased year after
year under Republican rule. oh, no that
wouldn't do. Congressional candidate
LoudensIager made few remarks, but il
seemed to be the opinion of great many
of his party, that be had weakened his
cause DR.. Jekel, | mean candida 9
FIR Assembly aud setting Governor
Watkins, made a pleasing address, but
it was remarked by more than one that he
did not refer to Mr.. Loudenslager at all
The tenor of bis remarks seemed to be to
put honest men in Office
On next Saturday evening the Democrats
will hold mass meeting in the Town Hall.
This will be the last rally before the cleo
tionit is thought that this is a step in
the right direction and that it will have a
good effect, as one can hear murmerings on
the street. A great many are mol satisfied
with Voorhees, and Loudenslagers record,
aud they intend to cut them. So it is
believed that if at the present time they
intend to cut the head Of the ticket, why,
by having facts laid before them we can
convince them that it is 10 their interest 10
i vote he tail also.
