MILLTOWN BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN

MILLTOWN, Aug. 19—The Milltown bridge is being torn down now. Start was made yesterday. Look out for “an injunction which will act as a stay of proceedings,” when it gets so we will have to jump over from pole to pole, or walk over on the ice. Nearly every large structure has to go through the courts before completion, you know.

The German church picnic was a great success in every way. We are told “Everything was eaten up except some bottles of soda water.”

Rev. W. T. Barny will preach in his German church both morning and evening.

In the Methodist Church, Rev. George S. Sorber, of the Dutch Reformed church at York, Pa., will preach in the morning and the pastor, Rev. J. E. Shaw, will preach in the evening.

Rev. Mr. Shaw attended the opening of the camp meeting services at Ocean Grove, Friday.

Mrs. Jos. A. Headley and her niece, Miss Mabel Hagaman, of Blackwell’s Mills, visited relatives in Elizabeth this week and enjoyed as best they could the long trolley ride in the rain.

The J. A. C. Club of Milltown will hold their first grand picnic in the Milltown grove opposite Parsons Grove, on Saturday, September 2.
