r. r. has been considerably affected
by the snow Yesterday (Tuesday)
two morning down trains and one up,
got through but the train leaving New
Hope at 1881 A. NJ, had not got
through late last evening, owing to
the drifts near Hatboro. A freight
train was fast in drift and the snow
pillow could not get in its work. Con-
sequently the snow had to be shoveled
out by hand.
"A correspondent of the Hatboro
Journal says: ~. W. Holcomb,
proprietor of the New Hope roller
mills has just completed his second
year at that point. He and General
Prosperity" are on very good terms
and Mr.. Holcomb says New Hope is
the best town on earth. As evidence
of his faith he is spending money for
improvements right along. The i'm
provement most in evidence is his
new store house, which gives evidence
that there is something doing in New
Hope"
