We are glad to he able to report
that Benjamin Heritage's condition is
somewhat improved. Since his re-,
turn from the hospital he has been
attended by a trained nurse, who will
probably leave this week
Our community was shocked on
Saturday evening and Sunday morn
ing to learn that Miss Annie Lippin-
lcott, principal of our higher grade
school, had suddenly passed away
The previous Saturday she fell over
the back Of chair at her boarding
house, Mr. Burleigh Packers; the
following week she called a physician
but continued with her regular duties
and took first and second degree with
/ a new class at the Grange on Thurs
day evening. Friday afternoon she
left our village on the 35 train for
Collingswood, where she made her
home with her brother, Mr. George
Lippincott. She passed by her home
and went first to the home of a near
by friend who was i'll. Here ply
sician was called and here she passed
away the following afternoon. The
funeral services were held at the
home of her brother in Collingswood
on Wednesday; interment in Harleigh
Cemetery. BY order of the Board of
Education schools here were closed on
Wednesday. Miss Nellie John, prin-
cipal of our primary department, the
older pupils of the school, and a part
of the Board of Education attended
the funeral; both the. school and the
Grange sent floral offerings. Miss
Lippincott was quiet and retiring in
her temperament but during her short
residence in the community won the
esteem of those with whom she was
associated.
The Board of Education were fav-
ored in being able to secure the SER
vices of Miss Alice G. Brown as in
structor here on Monday and Tues
day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Haines have
been entertaining Mrs. Haines' cou-
sin, Miss Clara Draper, of Moorestown.
Mr.. Dilks, a blacksmith, recently
employed by Mr.. Eichler removed his
family on Saturday from Theodore
Browns house to Mt. Royal. We
hope Mr.. Browns property in the
heart of our village will soon be oc-
cupied
Several from here attended the
meeting under the auspices of the
Woman's Christian Temperance I'm
ion in the German Evangelical church
on Tuesday evening. Our people
contributed much to the musical part
of the program Mr.. and Mrs.
Eichler gave with expression, Take
your brother by the hand" and Mrs.
Eichler also gave solo, 9On Calvary
Misses Lizzie Doerrmann and Jennie
Herder gave two duets Touch not
the cup, and The cost of the saloon
Miss Doerrmann also recited Judge
Morse's Reason The State Presi-
dents address was a foreefuI presen-
tation of the attitude of the LIQUOR
power and the need of combined eff
fort to combat it. Miss Elfrth's per-
sonality is winning, her arguments
convincing; no one should miss an
opportunity of meeting and hearing
the new State President of the w. C.
7 U who brings to the work rare
Intellectual and spiritual qualifica-
TONS
Mr. Charles Wolferth, medical stu
dent at Penna. University, left Phila.
on Wednesday of last week for Ann
Arbor, Michigan. Mr.. Wolferth is
a member of the foot ball team of his
University and made the trip to Ann
Arbor in the interest of athletics. He
reached home Tuesday evening. Mr..
Wolferth excells in athletics but is
none the less thorough and conscien-
tious in his work as a medical stud
ent We predict for him useful car
eer believing he will prove one of
the honor men of the community
The older people of this community
Will greatly miss the strong person
allty of Thomas R. Adams whose
earthly career closed on Wednesday
morning. Had Mr.. Adams lived until
the 29th of this month he would have
completed his Lightweight year. Al
strong man physically and intellect
ually with deep religious convictions
he impressed his personality upon all
with whom he came in contact.
Mrs. Joseph T.. Carter, who has
been quite sick the past week, is not
improving as rapidly as her friends
would wish.

phia, is spending few day with Mrs.
Annie Cooper and Mrs. Mary Ellen
