On Friday morning between 9 and 10
O'Clock there was lost on Washington and
Mill streets, between Oak and Cherry
streets, a box containing four new four-in-
hand neckties. There was an envelope
in the box bearing the words "Ellen and
Martha, best wishes" The finder will

Whether it really intends to put in the
day current soon or whether it merely
wants to keep up the idea that some
thing is being done we do not know, but
the Bell Telephone Company is reported
to have put in some sort of motor that
will be operated by the day current.
One of Mount Holly's manufacturers
put in motor on the strength of the
here. Last week his engine broke down
and he sent word to have the current
turned ON or the motor taken out and at
last reports neither had been done.
The first union prayer and praise SER
vice held at the Presbyterian church ON
Wednesday evening last proved to be a
magnificent success in every way. The
was SO large that the chapel
proved to be wholly inadequate to seat
the people hence the meeting had to be
adjourned to the main auditorium of the ,
church which was filled. Rev. Mr.. !
Terry minister of the Baptist church,
delivered telling sermon on "Co-opera-
ton" in Christian work, which proved |
to be great inspiration to all who heard |
him. There was splendid spirit mani
tested and the outlook for bigger and |
better things in the way of united effort |
for righteousness in Mount Holly on the |
churches represented is excellent.
Justice Slack and jury of twelve |
men heard horse case Wednesday, in |
which Frank Let's was the complainant
and Victor Hobdlinger was the de-
PENDANT. In August the defendant hired
q horse from Let's. 1t was hitched to |
buggy and, with young lady, the man
started for drive. Later in the evening
LcttS ItctlVeu WOfu InaL MS morse mad |
run away and smashed the buggy. The |
animal was brought home and was found |
to have been cut in several places and
had splinter in his foot which caused
lameness for long time. The wagon |
was afterwards secured and the de-
PENDANT offered to pay for all damage to
it. A mechanic was sent for and he said |
It would cost 500 to put the wagon in
order. At first Let's said the horse was
not worth as much as before the accident |
but afterwards he said he was as good as
new. The wagon was not fixed up but
was traded in for another. Let's claimed
that the horse was not properly driven
and if he had been the accident would
not have occurred. For the defence it
was shown that the defendant had used
all care in driving the animal. Before
starting out he was told the horse was
gentle, but he found he had to be closely
and when a trolley car was met !
on the Beverly road the horse reared and
upset the carriage, throwing the oc-
cupants out. Witnesses were sworn
TO show that the horse had a habit of |
running away. The jury was out but a
few minutes and did not take but one
ballot which was mo cause OF action"
