LONG LOST LITTLE PINKEY" IS
RETURNED TO LOCAL RAILROAD

Little Pinkey" has returned to
the Lambertville- Remington branch
of the Belvidere Delaware Railroad
after prosaic fortnight spent in
the yards at Trenton getting "dolled-
up" for Christmas and the remain
der of the winter season.
The smoke-belching, black-faced
steam locomotive which has hauled
the passenger train to and from the
Hunterdon County seat ten times
each weekday, is now doing duty
somewhere else, and will continue to
do so, until Little Pinkey" develops
"boils" or "carbu-"r rector trouble,
when the locomotive may return
for period.
Lest their may be some question
as to the identity of Little Pinkey''
"she" is also referred to as "The
Puddle Jumper" and bonneville, f"
but in official life is known as a
gasoline-driven railway coach.
Perhaps Little Pinkey" is no
longer a precise definition of the
"critter," because liberal applica-
ton of varnish at Trenton has re-
vived the original Pennsylvania red.
There was a complaint, short
/. time ago, from Editor Moreau, of
THE Hunterdon Democrat, at Flem-
ington, that the Lehigh Valleys
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1923-12-07

branch BUSTER" a cousin of the
Lambertville car, was a more vivid
shade of red than Little pinkey, but
he will now find that the situation
has been reversed
Little Pinkey" didn't lay off more
than two weeks, though, just to
make her more blushing hue on the
outside, but to tone her up inside
Some of the Lambertville folks
say it's enough to give anything as
ladylike as Little Pinkey" a case
of the nerves to roll in and out of
Pennington ten times every day for
upwards of a year-and then another
clique asks pertinently how visit
to Trenton could possibly improve
the situation.
Most everybody, including some Of
those who ride in the contraption,
are glad to see Little Pinkey' back
again. 1t seemed almost like one of
the family lost, to fail to see this
lively creature, and hear cher" cute
little squeak every time she crossed
a Lambertville street. Most people
only know a locomotive when it is
numbered 4-11-44, %, or 10, or some
thing like that, because so many of
them look so much alike, but all
ages know Little Pinkey."
May she travel up and down the
line another year in bIissful peace.

THE POSTMAN'S STORY

When Christmas had covered the
housetops with snow,
And the bells had retold the sweet
story of old,
The postman was stopped on his
wearisome round
BY dainty wee maiden with ring
let's of gold,
She held to her bosom little white
box
With the strangest directions that
ever he read:
In round, childish characters, blotted
and blurred
ITO Robert o'Malley, in Heaven"
it said
Nov, please, Mr.. Postman, my bro
ther has gone
To the beautiful land of the angels
of light,
And the tree in the parlor was strip
ped of its gifts
But no one remembered poor Bobby
last night,
And so, | have sent him my woolly
white lamb"
She dropped from her lashes the
pearl of a tear
"Or else he will think that his home
in the clouds
Is so far that we all have forgotten
him here"
Oh, simple and wonderful faith of
child,
That knew not the grave with its
darkness and gloom,
But locked to the skies as the coun-
try of God!
Where the birds were in song, and
the flowers were in bloom
It was this that was taught from
the manger of yore
When the Bethlehem baby was born
in the hay,
And the spirit of death at His first
little cry
In the snow and starlight went flee
ing away.
-Endeavor Echo.

ROSEMONT is BECOMING THE
"SPOTLESS" TOWN OF HUNTERDON

Few villages apart from railway
and trolley lines are making the
rapid strides that Rosemont, two
miles north of Stockton, is doing.
With its postoffice raised in few
years from a probable discontinuance
to the presidential class, its streets
stoned and oiled, good sidewalks
built, and practically all it's houses
and buildings newly painted, it hits
new visitors-or old visitors return
ing-hard. None of these improve
ments have been gained through
"aids" of any kind, but by the good
work of its citizens.
Edward Sherwood, the new post
master, who was appointed by the
late President Harding too late to
be confirmed by the United States
Senate, and will now have to be sat
isfied with President Coolidge's sig
nature on his appointment, has
given the postoffice an attention
that was never possible when it was
combined with other duties, as in
the past. When the Rosemont Poul-
try Farms-the industry that has

hold word over a score of states
and Hatchery is in its busy season,
the village postoffiee does more
business than some city offices.
w. H. Carver, native of Buck
ingham, Pa, who recently took over
the mercantile business of Mrs.
Lambert Mathews, has more than
doubled his stock and is drawing
the farm trade for miles around.
He expects to add even more lines,
as he believes the prospects war
rant it.
Many of the dwellings in Rose
mont have been remodeled the past
year, and new ones built. The first
of the now popular bungalows, was
built by George W. Bells, retired
farmer of that vicinity, and is a
most attractive building. More are
to be built another var or so, it is
believed.
And last but not least: the stone
road from Rosemont to Stockton has
been repaired and oiled the past
week or so.

penditures of $l26.16, leaving the
net amount in the receivers hands
of $1,f27.54. Out of this will come
fee of $500 for the counsel for

Iobst himself, and other expenses.
The net remainder will be small.

bury M. f. Church because of a
scandal there, and later his wife
divorced him. He has since married
the young woman who was the al
legged cause Of the trouble.

nent place in it's workings, being an
orator of considerable ability.

CREATE AND
EXTEND PATRIOTISM
Need of National Roads Seen in
New Memorial.

The George Washington Masonic
Memorial, being erected to Washing
ton, the Mason, by the Master Ma
sons of the United States, on Shoot
er's Hill, just outside the city OF
Alexandria, in Virginia, and half
way between the city which bears
the first Presidents name and the
tomb in which his remains lie at
rest, is not upon national road.
The home and tomb of Washing
ington, at Mount Vernon, is not
reached from anywhere by a nation
al road.
There must inevitably come time
when this nation will rise in revolt
against penurious policy which
leaves to patriotic order of de-
voted women the care and preser-
walton of the priceless relics of
Washington, which are in his es-
tate, and make of Mount Vernon
what it ought to be, Government
charge and care. The Masonic fra
ternity has already provided for a
monumental resting place for the
Masonic relies of George Washing
ton. But will we always leave to
Virginia the making, the repairing
and the preservation of the roads
which connect these three--home,
Temple and city?
Virginia has not, so far, been able
to list herself among those states
prominently identified with the good
roads movement, although she has
made vast strides in recent years
The road from Washington to the
Temple, and from Alexandria to

DAIR YWEN'S LEAGUE HELPING

According to the officials of the

garding milk prices is direct re-
suit of the long continued efforts Of
the farmers who sell to non-pool
dealers such MS the Sheffield Farms
Company, to unload their milk in
the fluid market, ut price below
that maintained by the pooling or
ganization. They assert that it is
the result of dumping" and not of
orderly marketing, and that it can
be interpreted rs nothing more or
less than final desperate attempt
to break down the League farmers
organization.
The League now owns one humid

LAMBERTVILLE CITY FATHERS TO
SPEND $l85,OOO ON BUILDING
AufhOriSe Bond Issue TO Concert High School
on the Hill Into Modern Structure To Meet
Educational Needs of the Near Future


The Lambertville City Commits
sioners, at Tuesdays meeting, intro
duced an ordinance appropriating
$1S5,000 for the building of a new
High School on the Washington
Street hill, utilizing part of the
present structure.
AT meeting of the City Commits
sioners and Board of Education, to-
gether with representatives of the
State, held last Friday evening, it
was agreed between them to go
ahead with the plans at once. A
bond issue for the necessary funds
will be authorized after the ordi-
nance is adopted.
A hearing on the ordinance is
advertised for Christmas Day, at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, but it is
not probable that it vii be finally
approved either on that day or the
following Tuesday, both of which
are legal holidays, and might in
validate the bond issue.
The plans have not been made
public, but were entirely acceptable
to the joint boards.
Sometime ago it was announced
that the city could not issue bonds
for the building of new high school
because of the debts it already car
ries for schools, former deficiencies
and street improvements, but this
can probably be overcome by rails
ing the assessed valuation of proper
ties to a point that would cover the
shortage. From $4,000 to $4,000
per year will be needed to pay the
interest and provide for the retire
ment of the bonds.
Investigation by the city fathers
convinced them that no suitable To-

for all the milk adjacent to these

known distributing agencies and it
has shown its ability to guarantee

EXHIBITION OF FINE PICTURES

ence of pictures of the right sort on
the school walls is now generally
recognized as one of the most val
liable means of securing this end.
The funds for purchasing such pic
lures, as well as an opportunity to
make a selection from a very large
number is secured by means of the
exhibition. The larger the attend
ance, the greater the number of pic
lures that can be secured for the
schools.
We hope you will not fail to visit
the exhibition, and believe you will
be fully repaid for the slight trouble
and expense in the pleasure and
profit you will gain for yourself, be-
sides helping on the work.
A program will be rendered each
evening in connection with the ex-
