CEDAR CREEK.

The local store at Cedar Creek is the
hub which all the local interests of the
place revolve, and the discussions and
stunts pulled off there, would be inter
esting even in a large city daily, were
they reported by a versatile writer, and
word pictures made of the scenes. All
kinds of questions are settled there,
from the great war in Europe to the
neighborhOOd gossip. Even excellent
boxing bouts are INDUCED in. and the
games Of quoits and shooting matches
have interesting audiences. Make no
mistake, Cedar Greek is a real factor in
the rural affairs of Sussex County, as
well as has been" for time was
when all the people of Milford came to
Cedar Creek to vote at all elections held
in what is now the First Representative
District. The local store is the gather
ing point for all the young folks here
and for distance around, and many of
the older folks mingle with the inter
ested thrOng. just here is a splendid
centre for one to start something in
civic, or moral way, which will be up-
lifting. and direct the thought of these
people into a channel which will be help
tul to the community, and benefit them
selves. The Cedar Greek Sunday School
is the result of an effort towards this,
and there is an opening for branch of
the grange, or some debating society,
or something to direct the thought into
useful channels.
The Sunday School at Cedar Creek |
meets at 230 p. m. and the attendance
is good. Preaching will be held at the |

The warm weather of the past few

comes a suggestion that we must not be

the way already, and therefore there is
no effort necessary on their part. They
say they feel all right and so must be all
