Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1901-04-18
WILLIAMSBURG.


VIM. Hartje, well known citizen of this
place, died on the 18th inst, Of pneumonia
and was buried on the 10Th in the M. E..
cemetery. The deceased leaves large
family of small children. The wife became
a mother only few days prior to the
fathers death.
Mrs. Lewis Babcock, who was formerly
Miss Wills, Of this place, became mother
last week. The only strange part about it
is the child was born with tooth.
Mr.. Geo. w. Marsh has his new house
under way. We understand it is to be a
credit to the town. 1t is on Washington
avenue, near the palatial. residence of Post
Master Marsh. George is straightforward
man, therefore we welcome him back home.
Mr.. Albert Eldridge has the contract, but
it is understood that r. G. Chew will fur
nish the lumber Mr. Chew is a member
of the school board
Mr.. Edward Evans is not only one of our
leading farmers but is making quite stir
in the lumber world, as his new saw mill
is now in full blast. Figuratively speak
ing, he is fairly eating the timber around
this vicinity. His competitors in the lower
end of the township will have to chew
pretty fast to keep apace with him.
Mr.. Avis, whose candidacy for the Assem-
bly, nomination is announced, was in town
one day last week. All, Mr.. Avis! you ap-
pear to be pretty good fellow, but look
out! Don't place too much confidence in
this direction. Take my advice as a Re-
publican, remember how W. K Robson
was turned down at the last minute Keep
your eyes open.
Why should mt the four or five lines that
were in the Glassboro Enterprise last week
concerning Napoleon be ranked with the
classics! Surely they were conceived by q
fertile brain and written by master hand
Such is genius. What fools these mortals
be. Shakespease.
The Williamstown correspondent of the
Enterprise said in last weeks issue that
| Napoleon Waterloo Bonapart had his
usual effusion last week in the official organ
of the last hope" We presume he has
reference to the GLOUCESTER COUNTY
DEMOCRAT and that the person referred tt
is the swindled ex-clerk of the school board
As some people will have it that he is the
the correspondent for this paper, but how
some people can be mistaken, as the writer
of the article has never been member o
the school board. By the way, how funny
the writer Of the above lines is. He pro
badly not aware of the fact that he is /;
humorist, nevertheless he is. He will M
doubt take the place of Mark Twain. Nov
let us see: we think after all he spoke tn
truth, because there is parallel between
the one slurred and Bonapart, because Ma
poleon was only defeated once, and tina
was by treachery. He thought he wa
fighting an open enemy in the person 0
Wellington, was then betrayed or fooled b.
Butcher flying his, Napoleon's, colors. 81
it is in this case, the person referred to il
the Enterprise supposed he was fighting
enemies only, and was stabbed in the bacl
by pretended friend. Julius Caesa
once said he Flowed treason, but despiset
the traitor" So it is in this case, the con
spriators, after making peace with thei
most formidable foe, in order to accomplish
their cowardly purposes, are laughing u
their sleeves at how they duped the ma
they were after-the man without fol
lowing at the present time, the once grea
leader of the independent Republicans o
Monroe township.
William Goodwin, aged 81 years. work
man in the Bodine Glass Works at Williams
town, was seized with a hemorrhage abou
IL O'Clock on Tuesday night, and die
before a physician could be summoned. III
had never had physician in his life.
