Owing to the large amount of road
work to be done this year the Town
ship Committee of Upper Penns Neck
has serious thoughts of purchasing a
tractor to assist in the accomplishing,
and efficiency of the construction.
Such a will assist greatly in
keeping the roads in good condition.
1t takes four horses to draw a craper,
set two inches deep and can make but
four miles per hour, while a tractor
can make at least six miles with the
scraper set four inches deep. Horses
are badly needed on the farms in the
summer and it is thought more work
and better satisfaction can be had all
around.
The Pollyanna's Co. presented the
musicale comedy, "The Isle of Fancy"
at the Riverside Theatre, Penns Grove,
on Monday and Tuesday evenings to

ed. He was supported by a strong
cast made up of such notable charac-
tiers as Mae Grace, Alice and Leon
Seminar, Lydia and J. Arthur John
son, Dot Harris, Laura McGinnis. Ro-
land Fisher, Lillian Misky, Peggy
McHugh, Genevieve Walters, Marion
and Esther Lee, Charles Dennis, How

manner.
Joseph Howell, of Chester, was seen

quaintances.
The new Board of Education will
meet and organize in Lafayette school
house on Tuesday evening. Friends OF
President Edwin Leap expect no OPP
position to his return in that office,
while James Watkins is looked upon
as the new clerk. He should make a
good one, but it may not please Boss
Speakman.
A serious accident occurred on the
Georgetown road about three forty
last Tuesday afternoon, when Dudley
H. Weldon's car collided with one of
Harry S. BARRIERS ice wagons. We'll
don was on his way from Layton's
wells when he met the ice wagon
which was driven by j. Craig and NJ.
Laughlin. The road is very narrow
at that particular place and rounded
up so that a vehicle unless right / the
middle of the road sits at a slight
angle. When near the machine the
horses SHE'D and pulled the wagon in
to the car and upset it. Mr.. Weldon
was not seriously injured but was
bruised considerable, the car top being
demolished. The horses took fright
and ran away, dragging Craig for
some distance, seriously injuring him.
Dudley H. Weldon is the eldest son of
J.. NJ. Weldon, Township Committee
men for U. P. Neck Township, whose
car was being used by his son. The
community regrets to learn of the SER

When Carneys Point appears quiet
and the streets and drug stores ana
post office have lost their former &C
tivity, yet there is n bright spot lett
for sight seers. Number Z Dormatory
is still open and is a home for twenty
six young ladies. These girls are m
ployed in various capacities IN the
Plants and have been culled out from
the thousands who worked here prev
ious to the ending of the war. Ten
more girls were added to the number
working at Plant l this week. Rumor
saws that there will be more in the
near future working at the dye works
on piece work. 1t comes from the best
of authority, that in a very short time
business will be booming again in this
locality.
