Last Saturday night on account of
the wet weather, two Swedesboro
men started home in What they
thought their own horse and buggy.
But Paulsboro man knew it was his
team, so halted them on the way up
town and never let go. Their own
team was brought to them, and after
some little difficulty, they understood
they had made a mistake, and started
up the road again. This was all due
to the weather.

such headway that nothing could be

Jr. 1t came as shock to relatives
and friends here, where Amos had
spent his boyhood days, and he has
the heartfelt sympathy of the town

and husband to mourn her loss. The
funeral was from her late home in
Millville, on Tuesday last. The floral
offerings from her young friends and
the different societies in which they
were connected, together with the
railroad company where Amos is em-3
ployed, were indeed beautiful offerings
of sympathy.
