Busy Baptist Sunday

Last Sunday, January 30th, was a
big day In the First Baptist Church,
P~edricktown. 1t was the 30th ami
versary of Mr.. Frank ]. Gaventa, as
Clerk of the Official Board and the
25th anniversary of his being Super
intendent of the Sabbath School.
There were large attendances at
the Sunday School in the afternoon
and evening service. Their old Pas
tor, Judge ]. Warren Davis, of Law
renceville, was present and spoke. He
spoke at the dedication of the new
Baptist Chapel in Woodstown in the
morning and spent the remainder of
the day among his old p-arishioners.
He is now not only dispensing moral
law but civil law to the delelicts in
the United States Court at Trenton.
Judge Davis gave a high tribute to
the sterling qualities of Mr.. Gaventa
for his long and faithful service and
wise counsel. He presented him on
behalf of the Church and Sunday
School an engraved testimonial. Little
Miss Maryada Holton presented him
on behalf of the children a large
basket of carnations and lilies of the
valley.
Mr.. Gaventa happily responded to
the fine and timely words of the
Judge by taking the audience over the
route he had travelled.
He said: Il received my education
in old Bushwack school house in six
teen months and in Hamilton Ped
rick's garage. When / grew old
enough, l and my brother George
worked on the farm and in winter
when others got three months school
ing, went to the woods to cut wood
and grub up the stumps so crops could
grow. 1 went to Sunday School in the
homespun, clean on Sunday, and
worked in it during the week while
the other was in the wash 1t was
in those surroundings that | learned
to know God and serve him these
years. Being human, | made many
mistakes, but God blessed my work
and / am still in the harness."
Judge Davis preached in the even
ing from Genesis 1:27: $50 God
made man in His own image, in the
image of God created him; male and
female created He them" A large
congregation heard him.

Is Winter Over?

After the snow and rain on Monday,
a northwest wind caused the tempera-
ture to fall to 20 on Tuesday morning,
February 1, and did not get above 80,
More snow fell on the freezing tenn
perature and made a downy blanket
for old mother earth, which remained
until Thursday.
Wednesday morning, Ground Hog
Day, clouds covered the sky. AS the
little imaginary superstitious animal
could not see his shadow, some may
think winter is over. Others believe
we have not had winter yet. There
has been a little winter weather.
Wednesdays temperature was 80 to
SO. Thursday, 80 to 40. This Friday
morning it was 80. The sunshine re-
turned at 10 o'clock after two hazy
days.

Historic Corrections

Frank H. Stewart, at Woodbury., N.
j., a historian of best authority, hav-
ing read our sketch of early Set
tiers" in last weeks issue of the
Penns Grove Record, sends us some
corrections. He states that Rancocas
Creek which branches from the Della
ware River at Delanco and runs past
Mt. Holly was confused with Raccoon
Creek which flows by Bridgeport and
S~wedesboro. He further says:
"The first settlement was not made
at Wilmington 1888. The one at Fort
Nassau, 1923, was the first and was
the first white settlement. Fenwick
did not embark September 8, 1874, on
the Griffith. He embarked 1875 on
the Griffin"

CAUSE DAMAGE

E. G.. Reece Suffers Loss
From Saturday
Night Blaze

The barn belonging to Charles
HAYES OIL Central ST., was des-
troyed by fire Saturday night.
/. was leased to E. c. Reeee,
who runs a job and delivery bus
mess and who lost Two valuable
work horses, all the harnesses,
blankets and various supplies be-
sides several tons of hay. The loss
il estimated at the very lowest as
fifteen hundred dollars; tnt
amount of insurance being less
than half. The loss on the barn rs
not yet been determined.
The fire broke out between H.
80 and 1890 O'Clock and was first
seen by Rudolph Bigelow and
John Beebe, who at once gave the
alarm corner of Main and Cen
trail SITS. Box "a and failed to work
and the alarm was rung in from
box rs, corner Of main and sec
ond SITS.
The fire company responded
with wonderful promptness, and
worked heroically to save the
building. The Upper part being
fun of hay, it was all ablaze at
once and it was impossible to save
anything.
Part OF. the frame work is still
standing.
The two horses, Harry and
Trixie were great favorites Of Mr..
Reece, Harry especially being a
family pet, which hr has had for
nine years.
The wagons and sleds were in
the Fairbrother store house and
so fortunately were not burned.
Mr.. Reece was alss fortunate in
that the other two work horses
were still out to pasture and his
valuable race horse is in Wood
stock.
A second alarm was rung in
about four O'Clock Sunday morn
ing as the still smouldering en-
beers had set fire to the Failbroth-
er store house. This proved to be
alo stubborn blaze but was soon
eXtinguished. Several panes of
glass in the rear of Charles Hayes
house were broken from the ex-
IRENE heat and the water.
The origin of the fire has not
yet been determined, but it is
though to have been caused by
crossed electric wires.
The fire Threatened dire dis

Of course you have heard
the story about the two fellows
who formed a partnership, one
Of them agreeing to furnish
the experience, while the other
was to furnish the capital?
Wei as time passed by, the
FELLOW who furnished the CAPT
tai was getting a whole lot Of
experience. while the other
fellow was in some way get
ting q firm hold on the capt
tai, so when two years had
passed by, things had been
switched around and the fell
low who had the experience to
start with, had the capital now
and the ether man had the ex-
Derience.

have had a lot Of experience;
YOU have capital-and all we
want to do is to trade 4 whole
lot OF our experience lof Just q
small amount of your capital
We don't even want your capi-
tai. We Just want small per
cent of your profits, which will
make more profits for you, so
eventually, you viii not only
have more capital, but we will
also have more capital, and
