So far as we can learn Mr.. Edward |
Lester who resides on the Geoage F.
Brady farm just north Of town, las re-
ceived the largest yield of wheat in this
section. Mr.. Testers average vas "a
bushels, while others had less than 10
bushels. Mr.. James Padley, residing OH
the NJ N. Willis farm, threshed out II
bushels, which is also very good for this
year.
The new engine for the Odessa and
Middletown trolley road is expected TO
arrive in few days, when it will be
hastily placed on the foundation which
is now completed. Many rumors are
heard on the street that the first car
will pass over the new road next week,
but we hardly think it possible to get the
road in opperation so soon, as there is
lots Of work to be done yet, but we expect
to see them running during the coming
month.
The annual picnic of Bethesda NJ. f.
Sunday School was held on Thursday
in "Lorewood Grove" This beautiful
grove is situated on the Delaware and
Chesapeake Canal, near Summit Bridge,
and is fast growing in favor as an ideal
picnic ground. The teachers and scholars
assembled at the church at seven o'clock
Thursday morning, and in a short time
the vehicles which were to convey them
to the grove arrived, and for more than
an hour those having the affair in hand
were kept busy getting the little folks
started on their days outing. The day
was an ideal one for picnic, and the !
teachers, scholars and their friends who |
helped to swell the crowd spent de-
iightful day. Many who could not leave
so early in the day, left town in the
afternoon, and spent the remainder of
the day, and all have nothing but words
of praise for "Lorewood.
