Gene Farley is talking of starting
a Sunday schoo' at this place In the
near future, on account of no one
else seeming to take sufficient inter-
est in Sunday school work to make a
SUCCESS Of it. Gene is one of our ex-
emplary young men, having been
converted at Phillipsburg during a
revival meeting about a year ago and
uniting himself with the Baptist
church of that place. Gene of course
is like other mortal beings and has
some shortcomings such as lying and
swearing and a few other inoffensive
habits which hurts no one and affords
a source of amusement for the boys
with whom he associates.
We have before us letter from
q III Rathburn, Superintendent of
of the NJ. P. railroad stating that the
company will put on an agent and
operator at this place as soon as they
can arrange matters, thus making
this telegraph station, as the bust
ness done at this place demands the
services of first class agent. This
means grain and stock dealer for
Speed as We are as we'll supplied with
both stock and gram and would long
ago have had dealer in this line but
for the fact that We had no telegraph
Office and station agent. Now is the
time to locate in that line of trade
which means fortune for the right
man.
We will report several new enter
prises in our next letter and hope to
be more interesting as we are just
getting used to the hot weather which
seems to have tendency to settle on
our thinking apparatus, causing Us to
have something like the blind stag
gers and incapacitating us for clerical
work, but we hope to get used to the
hot weather in a short time and you
may listen for something to drop.
Now don't anyone get scared and go
to prophesying what it will be or we
might fulfill your prophesy for you.
