We looked through the columns Of the
GLOUCESTER COUNTY DEMOCRAT last week
i with some interest to learn what the
bridge expert might report concerning
Mantua creek bridge. Doubtless other Of
your readers await" this report and were
disappointed in not finding it. 1t is most
unexpected to your humble servant to be
the medium through which this report is to
be given, but we recently learned, on good
authority, that the first bridge expert I'VE
ga I. recognizing the possibility shat
second may be deemed necessary could not
report favorably for the company, other
wise the report could have been given with
report of committee Of the turnpike stock
holders, as observations were made at the
sans time. We commend the Turnkike Co.
on the selection Of bridge expert proren
TO be careful in judgement and honest in
statement.
The last meeting Of the Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union was of especial i'm
portanoe and interest. An extract from an
address by Alice B. Tits, Of Pratt Institute
Brooklyn, was read, in which she stated
that children should be taught the meaning
Of obedience before they arrived at their
twelfth year The President Of the Union
supplemented the statement by saying they
should be taught it by the time they were
one year old. Mrs. Annie M. Dale read
fine article on Civic Righteousness from the
Christian Standard. The outlook presented
was most hopeful, never were SO many
governors and mayors enforcing State and
municiple reform laws; st. Louis. Kansas
City, and Minneapolis are all dry on Sun
day; SO say the big dailies which had al
ways prophesed it as impossible. Mrs.
Mosely read an interesting leaflet on Hand /
Picking by Miss Christine Timing. Of
London, Eng. It was bright and original |
as was this charming young speaker when
she addressed her Clarksboro audience.
Meeting closed with singing Some Glad
Day A number Of the members had not
been in the Sunday school room Of the
church since it was renovated and were
much pleased with the new paper and
general appearance Of the room.
The last meeting Of the Grange was de-
voted to literary exercises which were en-
loyed BY a large audience; three scenes from
David Copperfield and Pick Up Lunch |
constituted the dramatic portion Of the pro-
gram, which was supplemented by music
and Rotations.
The public school will give an entertain
ment in the Hall Saturday evening, the
twenty third, for the benefit OF their Ii
brary fund; exercises viii commence at
eight o'clock, admission ten cents. The
children did finely last year in the school
house but were at serious disadvantage
for lack Of room. This difficulty will be
obviated by holding the entertainment in
the hail.
John and Hannah A. Heritage attended
the funeral of Amos Peterson al Woods |
town on Second day, the eighteenth. The
deceased was As years Of age, il the midst
of the activities Of life, and his sudden
death was a shock to many relatives and
friends.
