PITMAN GROVE.

The mildest and brightest weather for
Thanksgiving day for years-quite con-
trast to that of 1898. Our people passed
the day pleasantly mostly at home. Both
of the churches held Thanksgiving ser
vices in the morning.
Too late for last week g issue we were
appraised of the entry into our town, during
the night of the 9th, of two strangers
who came via. the rainbow route" The
stork alighted during the wee small +"
hours of the morning, at the residence of
our genial neighbor. Mr.. Edwin Waters
with the result that Eddie and Ella are to
be congratulated as the happy father and
mother of as fine, bouncing twin boys as
can be found in all New Jersey. To say
that Eddie is jubilant but mildly expresses
the true state of his mind, and well may
he be proud of two such sons as are these
twin boys. Two more Democrats for
Mantua township.
The Electric Laundry, located on the
property of the Gloucester County Elec-
trio Light Co., at Reeves pond, added more
new and improved machinery last week to
their plant, the increase of business making
this addition necessity. Mr.. Chas. H.
Ferris, the manager, is working hard to
secure the patronage of the people through
this section of the County and judging
fcom the addition to the facilities of the
plant he is meeting with deserved success.
From experience we can recommend his
work as first-class and very satisfactory.
There is no accounting for the likes and
dislikes, as the old lady remarked when
she kissed the COW. This old saying will
come to the minds of many who observe
the color of the paint on the roof of Mr..
William Owners new house and barn. II
he was after the ridiculous, he could not
have made more certain of a centre hit. If
his object was to make his property con
spicuous, and mar the harmony of artistic
effect, and produce effects very displeasiDg
TO the eye, and demonstrating lamentable
lack of good taste, he certainly has
achieved signal success. Any color SO
it's red.p
Our esteemed townsman. DE- s. N
Slaughter, was relieved of $500 in his in
side pocket at the National Export Ex-
position by very slick thief, the doctor
not being aware of his loss for quite
time.
Miss Edie Lynch filed the position OF
assistant in the post Office on Thanksgiving
day in relief of Miss Gertie Conover who
spent the day away from home.
Dr. H. H. Carr has purchased the two
most desirable building lots of the new
plot along the pike, being at tine corner of
the avenue, extending at right angles with
