The steamer John E. Tygert that
has been lying at the wharf at the
Landing since the first of the year
ventured today on special trip to
Philadelphia. The Tygert is an
iron boat and can afford to venture
in the current of flowing ice in the
Delaware. Trips will be resumed
on schedule time as soon as safe
navigation will admit. An effort
was made on Monday to get out,
but the ice was so thick down the
creek that they did not proceed be
low Shorts Landing.
On Friday evening last, about
thirty of the young people, mem
bers, and friends, of the Friendship
Church, Thoroughfare Neck, sur
prised their organist, Mr.. John A..
Latta, at his home. The evening
was spent in singing accompanied
by the organ, and in socal games.
After refreshments, Mr.. Latta and
wife were presented with a very
comfortable rocking chair for each,
the company leaving about twelve,
expressing themselves as having
had a good time generally.
