BUSY SESSION OF
COUNTY COURTS.

A busy session of County Courts
opened Monday morning'at ten o clock,
with Judge Trenchard on the bench.
Three cases on the appeal list were
announced ready for trial, beside
there was some pleadings in the
Quarter Sessions, also sentencing of
defendants.
Edward Sayre entered plea of
guilty to abusing livery rig. Judge
Trenchard Immediately disposed of
the matter by suspending sentence and
giving the young man over to the Gus
tody of his father, after imparting
some very good advice to the boy.
At this juncture Court was ad-
journed to the grand jury room, ow-
ing to the cold condition of the main
auditorium.
In the matter of Judgment on in
dictment against William Mick and
Charles Dawson, recently convicted
for illegal sale of liquor to Vineland,
postponement was allowed until the
first Monday in March pending an
application for new trial
The Court then took up the trial of
the case of Susanna Lupton against
the United American Funeral Associa-
tion of the United States. This is an
action to recover $3.50 as funeral
benefit due the appellee, Mrs. Lupton,
her hubsand, the late VIM. ". Lup-
ton, having been member of the or
ganizarion against which suit is
brought, during his lifetime. Mr..
Lupton died December 18th, 1900.
The Association has continued to re-
fuse the payment of the benefit, hence
the suit.
Lawyer Charles Sheppard repre-
sented Mrs. Lupton, and Samuel Ire
dell appeared for the Association.
The contention of the Association is
that Mr.. Lupton was beyond the age
limit when he joined the institution
and hence not entitled to recover.

present to testify.

STORMY DAYS
FOR ANNIVERSARY,


Baptist Church at Roadstown granted
to thirty eight members letters of
dismission and these with Rev. Geo.
M. Spratt, D. D., were publicly con-
stituted separate church JAN 81,
1928. This was the inception of the
First Baptist Church, which Sun
day celebrated it's seventy fifth ami
versary. The growth of the church
was substantial and permanent and
this little number grew to the present
organization which controls the mag
nificent church property on East Com
merce street.
When the organization was effected
it took the name of "The Second Co.
hansey Baptist Church at Bridgeton, :"
and was incorporated Sept. 30, 1929,
the first trustees being Smith Bowen,
Daniel Pierson and Garrison Maull.
The original name was continued
Feb. IS, 1864, when by an act of the
Legislature, the name was changed to
'The First Baptist Church at Bridge
ton,'' and so remains.
The present property was acquired
Oct. 3, 1858, and plans adopted for a
church building. The corner stone of
the church was laid July 4th, 1854,
and the church was dedicated Sept
23, 1857.
In the summer of 1868 the spire to
the church was erected and the bell,
weighing 2100 pounds, was placed in
the belfry.
Since then the church has acquired
more property and made greater i'm
provements, some of it being quite
recently. and the entire structure pre-
sents a handsome and modern appear
ance.
Out from the First Baptist Church
has gone the Cedarville Baptist
Church, the Pearl Street Baptist
Church and the Berean Baptist
Church.
A more successful church, reli-
gious organization that has accom-
plished more in this community is not
here, and every effort was made to
have the seventy fifth anniversary
properly celebrated and elaborate
preparations were made for the SER
vices Sunday.
There was much interest in the roll
call and social hour Friday night, and
but for the storm Sunday the con-
gregations would have been excep.
tionally large. The down pour of
rain yesterday morning had the effect
of very greatly interfering with the
attendance, and made the day a
heavy, gloomy one, entirely out of
keeping with the festal celebration
program.
The interior of the church, always
pleasing, pretty and inviting, was
more so Sunday morning by. reason
of profusion of palms and ferns,
although there. had been no attempt
at elaborate display.
On either side of the pulpit desk
were large cards upon which were
printed the pastors of the church who
had aided the organization in its re-
markable and successful growth The
cards were as follows:

three were in the pulpit Sunday,

phia, the veteran in point of service

worth. and the present pastor, Rev.
CLARK T. Brownell.
One of the features of the service
yesterday morning was the unwilling
and presentation of the memorial
tablet in honor of the late H. j. Null
ford. During the service the tablet.
which was on the east side Of the
church, was concealed with white
silk curtains suspended from a wire

revealed to the congregation large,

soribed in black letters the following:
