A collision between the red run-about of
Dr. Fl. A. Wilson, of Woodbury., and the
dog of Mr. Rob't E Gibbs, on last Thurs
day in the Main Street OF Thorofare was
the funny incident of rather eventful
week The Doctor was going up the street
at a good rate of speed when the dog,
large Newfoundland, ran suddenly, in front
Of the machine, and so near it that he found
it impossible to avoid the dog, although he
tried to do so. After being struck by the
auto the dog trotted of in the most uncon-

but it took the Doctor bali hour or more
to get the running gears' OF the machine
in condition to continue his journey Moral:
Automobiles beware of Thorofare dogs
Among the usual round of Thorofare fes-
tivities masquerade ball held in the town
ball on last Saturday night was a pleasing
innoYation, and one which it is hoped may
be repeated. The committee, Messrs VIM.
James Carter, Edward E Morris, and
Charles Wagner deserve much praise fer
the successful manner in which the arrangi :
ments were made and carried out, The ball
was prettily decorated, the music was fine,
and the dancers seemed to find the waxed
floor all that was desirable. Invited guests
to the number of one hundred from Phila-
delphia, Woodbury., Paulsboro, and Thoro-
fare in pretty evening costumes and some
masked and in character, made the scene a
brilliant one. The grand march was perfectly
carried out andwas beautiful sight, and
| never saw better dancing any where.
Young people must be amused sometimes,
and thought as / saw the graceful move
ments, and perfect time of the dancers so
entirely in harmony with the music shat
the people who could frown upon this,
and wink at the indecent Yulgarity Of KISS
ing plays should be themselves ostracized
from decent society. The gentleman who pre-
sided at piano gave two fine baritone solos
between dances. and one OF she guests gave
two solos also. The music stopped as quar-
ter 81 twelve, and the lights in the ball-rot m
were turned out few minutes later. Every
one felt that the occasion had been delight
