and recarpeted, and the reopening on

No. 81, Knights of Pythias, will attend
the evening service in a body.
Special music and singing viii be
had. The families from the surround
ing region are especially invited to
attend these services, which will be a
notable event.
The present brick Church edifce
was erected in 1885, at a cost Of
about $4,000.
Sharptown Methodism is a branch
from the old Pilesgrove Church, which
stood two miles from Sharptown, near
the road to Penns Grove, and near the
Upper Penns Neck line.
Tradition say the first Pilesgrove
Church was erected about 1871. The
society was incorporated in 1911, and
meetings continued to be held there
until the 70s. As the center of popu-
lation changed and village grew, this
Church, in the farm district, gradu-
ally died as the old membership pass
ed away.
Meetings were held in the school
house in S~haIptown, as it was too far
for the village folk to go to Piles
grove or Woodstown. In 1893 a for
nal Church organization was effected
by the fundamentally Of Rev. William
Walker, William Morris and others.
For ONE years Sharptown was on
the same preaching charge as Woods
town. As Sharptown grew and the
membership increased it became a
separate charge with a resident jastor
who has also had charge of Haines
Neck NJ. f. Church.

PUEBLO AGAIN
MENACED BY A
WALL OF WATER


Pueblo, Colo, June 5.-Fol-
lowing reports received by the
sheriff's office tonight from
Swallows, Colo, sixteen miles
west of here along the Ar
kansas river, wall Of water
was rushing toward this city.
Pueblo tonight is momentari-
ly expecting another flood
of greater magnitude than
that of last Friday. A rise of
two feet in the Arkansas river
here also was reported to the
sheriff's office.
According to the reports,
the water was four feet high
er at Swallows than 1t was last
Friday, when the first tor
rent swept toward this city.
This report led to the fear
that the maximum depth of
the second inundation here
would reach fourteen feet,
since the previous maximum
depth at the Union station
was ten feet. A steady rain
last night coupled with show
ers this morning and after
noon and a threatening storm
lead military and peace Off
GERS to take a gloomy view of
the situation.
