Do You Know? ’Pic propose*) .'ounty Hoaf in tlir Ntutli Jcrscv l.\po»iti«in paladr will have vpix'ial hisforiatl significancr to Cape May County 1 . ’Ph- proposed float will consist ot small tree trunks i-itt short, painted black and mounted on cart wheels. They will bear a leseniblancc to the olden caution. It was such an arrangement that prevented several raids on thr hay shore oi Cape May County in thr war ol 1812. It was during this war that a British man-of-war patroled the river. Occasionally a shot was fired to keep the people of the section intimidated. It was Thomas Douglass, of Dias Creek, who conceived the idea of mounting several tree stumps ini cart wheels fashioned in such a manner as to rrsrtnhle a ..union. ’1'hrw were mounted in a conspicuous place. In a short time they were spotted by one of the British ships. Thereafter the ship gave thr section a wide berth and the sect ion did not suffer from any raids. 'Piuma. Douglass is the ancestor ot the great family of Douglass that populate the central section ot the county. He moved to Dias Creek about I Slid! His t ther was a Revolutionary jut riot and it was in his lather’s house at Trenton that < irorgr Washington and several of his generals stayed brfoie the historic Christina* eve raid on the Hessian guard at Trenton.
