in the 10th year of his age. Mr.. Nolte
came to America from German go
years ago, and hired as farm hand

Mantua Grove. He continued this for
4 years, when Mr.. Tatum proposed
that he do some trucking on his own
account. Later he leased the farm,
and when he wanted to buy place of
his own, Mr.. Tatum said he wanted
him to own that place, and arranged
that he should have first chance of
purchase at his death. Hence he
stayed there, and at Mr.. Tatum's
death purchased the farm. He con-
tinued there until seven years ago,
when he purchased home at Mantua
and his son, John, Jr., succeeded him
on the farm.
Gloucester county had no more up
right citizen than John Nolte; he was
frank, open hearted, generous, a pill
lar of Clarksboro Evangelical Church,
and staunch supporter of all that
was good. He is survived by his sec
ond wife and three children by his
1st wife: John, Jr., Kate,wif of Oliver
Sheets, of Paulsboro, and Jacob near

CITY OF WOODBURY..

The election in Woodbury. afforded
a surprise to good many people.
and a good many are really hurt by
a Democratic majority in City Coun-
Gil. The causes most responsible for
the rebuke to the majority party are
numerous. Fault has been found
with the condition of the fire depart
ment, the criticism being that it had
degenerated into a sale and exchange
stable; the street management is es-
pecially unsatisfactory; the water de-
partment's fast and loose play with
the new main proposition and the evil
dent fear of submitting this scheme to
the people for ultimate approval
Again, the idea was widespread that
the superintendent assumed too much
and lead Council into extravagances
which added little or nothing to the
efficiency of the department.
Messrs. Cunningham, Curry and AL
lister, the defeated Republican NOM
inees, have no cause to consider their
defeat as a personal rebuke, because
they are all men of unimpeacha BILE
character and good business ability,
but the opinion is general that lar
ger percentage of the membership of
Council should be in the city during
the day, where, should occasion arise,
they may be seen, and see
The experiment of government by
the minority party here is on trial,
and as those charged with response
bility are wise. diligent and thought
fuf of Tae public welfare, the expert
ment will be justified.

MICKLETON.

Benjamin Heritage was not able to
return home last week as planned,
much to the disappointment of his
friends here. He is able and glad to
see them at the hospital.
Joseph T. and Emma Carter en-
tertained Elwood and Mary Roberts,
of Norristown, while on their recent
visit to our village.
A class of about nine will be given
first and second degree at the Grange
next week.
We regret that we overlooked men
| tioning last week that on Saturday,
the 28th, Walter and Emily Haines,
formerly of this neighborhood, OBJ
served the tenth anniversary of their
marriage at their home near Van
Bibber, Md. Among those who at
tended were: Rachel NJ. Haines, Beu-
lah Haines, John and Hannah A. Heri-
tage of our village; Isaac and Clara
Haines, of Clarksboro; Chalkley and
Laura Haines, of Woodstown; Mrs.
Thomson Steward, of Mullica Hill,
and Mrs. John Ballenger, of Pitman.
Their mother, Rachel M Haines, re-
mained for visit of some weeks
The Friends Association on the
evening of the fifth was we'll attended.
The meeting was in charge of Cora
and Clarence Heritage. The former
with Isaac and Clara Haines and I'D
win A. and Laura E. Holmes were
appointed delegates to the annual
meeting of the Association to be held
at Att Holly Nov f3th
Laura Wiley read from the Life and
7 at fxf Tn fo
Alice G. Brown read gleanings from
Friends Intelligencer; the address of
the evening, tThe Peculiarities of
Friends and their Effect on the So
ciety," by Elwood Roberts was inter
esting and practical. The speaker
has been a careful student of Friends
writings and history, and believes
that George Fox had no desire to in
stitute a certain form of dress but
only to bear testimony against the
extravaganza in dress and foppery of
his time Other digressions from t
customs of the time were instituted
as testimony against man worship,
etc. At the present time the evils
then prevalent do not obtain but the
principles of the Society of Friends
applied to present day affairs are as
much needed as at any time in past
history. The next meeting of the AS
sociation will be on Seventh day even
ing, December the second. Watson
w. Devices, of Haverford, who has
previously addressed the Association,
will give an illustrated lecture "Up
and Down in England.
Friends here who frequently call on
Thomas r. Adams are glad to know
that he does not suffer and is able to
communicate his desires to his chill
dren and grandchildren who are
faithful in their ministrations.

NJ. Green and wife, and their children

Gloucester County Democrat., 1911-11-09

The second annual surprise party
sprung on the Republican leaders of
Gloucester county occurred Tuesday
evening at midnight, when James Laf-
ferty gained clear field for a seat
in the State Assembly over E. C.
Leeds, and VIM G.. Allen captured
the sheriff's residence in Woodbury.
with 81 ayes to spare. County Chair
man Avis had banked everything on
his two candidates., Leeds and Nc
Gowan. but CLIQUE ter County seems
to relish the new, and spoke strongly.
Last year a similar result was rung
up when Governor Wilson swept the
county, and this year, his follower
and representative of his policies,
James Lafferty, who was said to be
defeated before election day, ran even
better than last year.
Geo. w. F. Gaunt won out in the
fight for Senator, defeating the Dem
ocratic candidate by over four hun
dred majority, about the same when
he defeated JOS. Newton in the last
presidential year. Allen Black is
the winner as Coroner, but no figures
can be given owing to lack of full
returns.
In Woodbury., the biggest surprise
in the county fight was recorded, when
the Democracy landed all three of the
new members of Council, giving the
Democrats control of that body begin
ming January l, 1912, the first time
such an event has occurred within
memory, if ever.
In Clayton, Frank Nichols carried
the Democrats to victory in the May
orally fight, while W. E. Stone won a
like victory for them in Swedesboro
in one of the hottest local fights in
years. Mayor Doolittle was re-elect-
ed in Paulsboro; A. M. Michael, r.,
won out in Pitman by 16 majority.
In Wenonah, the proposition to buy
the water works was ratified by big
majority.
In Woodbury. Thos IN FerreH gain
ed majority of lat, carrying the
county by over 300, but Camden county
overcame this by giving Browning a
big vote, although Nowrey was elected
the Democratic Sheriff by close to
three thousand majority. George
Hurff carried Woodbury. by majority,
while Leeds did the same thing, get
ting plurality of 90.
Lafferty and Hurff and Jos. D. Muir
ray ran high in their home precincts,
while Ferrell carried Glassboro by
1853. VIM. G.. Allen received the tre-
mendous majority in his township of
259.
The election was one of the quieteSt
in years, owing to the stringent pro-
visions of the Corrupt Practices Act.
The new blanket ballot gave universal
approval, and was acknowledged to be
the fairest way yet tried in this State
to express the will of the citizen.
The number of votes cast was about
$500, about 1000 less than the num-
Der registered.
