Holding.

The scourge of typhoid fever that has
become epidemic at Roebling is a serious
affair. The State Board of Health is
making a minute examination into the
cause but as yet has determined nothing
satisfactory.
Mrs. Charles Krader entertained as her
guests over Sunday, her brother L. NJ.
Holt and cousin Charles Forcey, both
students at Jefferson College.
Autumnal day was observed in the M.
E. church Sunday morning. The pulpit
of the church was decorated with flowers,
fruit, foliage and vegetables, which the
speaker, Rev. Peter Carly, took as the
basis of his remarks and from which he
gave an interesting and practical talk.
Mrs. Carmen and her scholars gave {
Halloween social in the school house, fol-
the benefit of the school, which nettet
them 1918. An admission of five cent
was charged which entitled the visitors tt
cake and lemonade at the close of the en-
tertainment, which consisted of an apple
bobbing contest, fortune telling, sppl
catching, and pfnning a hat on the pictur
of mans head, for which feat priz
was given the successful aspirant. Eacl
contestant was charged penny at which
ever game he tried his hand.
Burlington was the scene of great activ
| ity on the occasion of Halloween celebra
ton when Hedding was proportionally rep
resented en- masse and otherwise. Tn
dark family, consisting of father, mother
topsy and Thomas Jefferson, was an &C
QUESTION to the merry mummers while tn
ubiquitous clowns created mirth for tn
spectators. Topsy became exceedingly os
culatory on the homeward trip, .embraC
ing bachelors and committing the IN
pardonable act of kissing her husband i
public. The renowned "Amy" was
production from our town, too. His Out
landish attire, hilarious capers and a
occasional display of his wife's garment
attracted attention, afforded amusemen
and easily placed him on the list for a
aultra ridiculous prize.

slowly. and the Company has troubles of
its own in many ways. There has been

but circumstances seem to point to the
probability that he does not intend to re-

Company looks at 1t, and another super
intendent has been engaged.
There are two dams to be built. The
one on which work is now being done is a
few yards north of the old dam that
washed out. When this is finished there
will still be another to build-the long OIL

The young element had good time pa
rading around Mount Holly on Halloween
night, but the usual demonstration here
was curtailed by the events which took
place at Burlington. which was witnessed
by nearly one thousand people from this
town and surrounding territory. Paraders
who remained at home had clear field
to themselves, and from them the police
secured quite a collection of canes, which
they confscated as being unnecessary
auxiliaries to the occasion. The trolley
service to Burlington proved adequate
until the 7.20 trip with trailer, when too
many people wanted to get out Of town
at the same time. In order to get a foot
hold on the cars people began to board
them at Bidwel's pond, giving each car 9
standing load by the time Madison avenue
was reached. While the earlier cars from
Burlington were packed, there was no oc
casion for any one getting left, as the las
car leaving that city carried only abou
forty-six passengers. While about two
hundred people from Mount Holly wen
over on the steam cars, Superintendent
