NEW JERSEY COURIER 3 Jan 1919
H. Jacobson of Philadelphia was here last Thursday. He brought a friend with him, who was looking to around to buy a property here.
Mrs. Ed Hill and daughter Violet have gone to the city over New Years.
The Evening Bulletin last week gave an account of Martin Chadwick, a summer resident here, being burned while playing Santa Claus in a school entertainment. It seems that another boy who was to play the part of a colored boy had lit a match to burn some cork to blacken his face, when Martin came too close to the match and his whiskers caught on fire, burning his face and hands. The doctor was called, but said he was not burnt very bad.
Gee, but this is getting to be some lonely berg after dark. All you can hear is the dogs a barking. Reminds one of being away out on the prairies in the wild west.

Well, back to the old winter schedule again same as last. No stores open in town at all. W.F. Page closed his store Saturday for the winter, and the family have gone to Camden for the winter. When we want anything now it is a case of going to Toms River. But we did it all last winter so think we can do the same thing this winter again.
