Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1903-10-15
sWEDESBORO.

We were a little surprised on last Thurs
day at net receiving the DEMOCRAT in our
evening mall and still more surprised
when we did not receive it on Friday 1t
came to hand on Saturday evening, and
even then as we sat down to peruse it we
thought there was some mistake The
paper did not look natural We opened
our eyes wide, re-adjusted our glasses, and
looked again, when, 10, the mystery of the
delay was solved. The paper had been
made over, changed, reconstructed; thus
adding greatly to its value and the conven-
fence of its readers. We remember the
DEMOCRAT in the old days when We re-
ceived it as welcome exchange, in our
own printing Office and during the long
years since that time, as we have been
sending our weekly contributions, wise or
otherwise to its columns we have learned
to regard it as a personal friend. We take
off our hat bonnet) to the DEMOCRAT and
wish it continued success and the full
measure of prosperity it deserves, and Won
der within Ourself if this is one Of the fore
runners of the greater Woodbury., that is to
be.
