We have become convinced that the
demise of one man cannot stop the ma
chinery of the world motion; and while
it may, for a time, disorganize things,
these things will soon regain their equil-
/ ibrium. We had an illustration of this
/ in 1909. when Edward Henry Hartman
/ the great railroad magnate dropped out
and almost created a panic, but the
| threatened crisis was averted by another
taking his place. If John D. Rockefel-
lor was to die to day the business of the
Standard Oil would be conducted as us
ual, and perhaps without an advance in
the price of oil.
If J. Pierpout Morgan were, suddenly,
called to another sphere the financial
condition OF this county might be tenn
poraVily unsettled, but, as great men as
he would be developed, by his demise,
and the finances of the country would
still move on.
In the part, we have had an illustra-
tion in this town, that proved to US that
one man in a community IS not all of
that community. Several years ago
Caleb Morris was one of the leading
lights of the NJ. Z Church; a local
preacher and an exhorter. Mr. Morris
died, and the cry was raised, we don t
know what the church will do now Mr..
Morris is gone '' But, Cod raised up
men to take Mr.. Morris place and the
NJ. f. Church yet lives. Later, William
A. Hazard, of happy memory, one of
the leaders in church finance, and one of
its principal contributors died and church
members were appalled,. How o,
howl" they cried, is the church going
to make out J." And while the church
may have been, at that time, temper
arily embarrassed, to day it survives a |
living witness of the munifcence of its |
congregation. No, one man does not |
make world, nor community no more |
than " One swallow makes a summer"
The mission Of history Is to prove, and, |
has proved, that God sends the right !
man for the right place at the right time. |
Joseph NJ. Carey, of Milton, has been |
appointed Deputy United States Marshall |
for the District of Delaware.
The First Quarterly Conference of this |
Conference year, was held at the NJ. E. |
Church. on Friday evening; but little |
was done, other than routine work. The !
regulation of the ministers salary was
laid over until another meeting.
Sipple & Sons Georgetown team de-
livered some work at the Odd Fellows
Cemetery on Thursday. After starting
from the grave yard the team sprang in
to run, and going down the hill on
North Union street, toward the bridge, |
it was impossible for the drivers to do 1
more than guide the running horses.
The traces came loose, and the whole !
weight of the wagon was carried by the
drivers arms. But he succeeded in
guiding the team over the bridge, and
around on Front street, and successfully
made the turn into Chestnut street,
where the team was stopped and no
damage done.
Steamer Harry Davis, of Milford, de-
