v PHYSICK FARM I jJS SOLD FORD AUTO COMPANY WIS II - — Truster ef Title Cnqfeted Wed- , icsdiy aid Sreat laynTed aeets ia Prasject s A four hundred acre farm adjoining _ this city and bordering upon tbe new - harbor, has been purchased by Henry Ford, of the Ford. Automobile Company ef Detroit, and it is reported by | those through whom the sale waa eonpany will erect a manufacturing plant _7 upon It, together with several hundred houses for the accommodation of employes. It ia said also that a track s for tbe trial of tbe cars will be constructed around the tract. Autos and j launches are to be manufactured. The , sale was made by Charles T. CampbelL The farin waa purchased of Dr. a Emlen Physick of this city. This . property has been purchased because of . its proximity to tbe .harbor and tbe convenient transportation by water which wilkj>e afforded when the.harbor , ia completed and steamer lines are established. . \ PEARLS POUND IN CLAMS John Foster, of 1115 Lafayette street, while opening dams on Saturday had bis attention attracted to a - peculiarly formed shell. It bulged near * tbe mouth on each side He opened it and found standing on its edge a large pearl, pure white, without a flaw. It measured three-quarters of an inch in diameter and one quarter > thick, perfectly round, smooth and - hard as flint He has so far found no one who is L an authority on this kind of pearl, bat . persons who have found them before claim that unless found in fresh water they are not hard enough to be of any | value. ( Comrade S. C. Barton is sporting a big pearl which he found in a clam recently. He had Jeweler Hand set it in a pin and it is quite ornamental. NEW BANK OFFICERS Harry E. Eldredge has been appointed cashier and Everett J. Jerrell, : assistant cashier of the Merchants' National Bank, which will .probably , open about December first. STACK BLOWN DOWN During the wind storm which preI vailed here last week, a portion of one of the high iron stacks on the Oape May Light and Power Company's plant | blew over and descended through the roof. Electrical Engineer W. B. Roland had just moved to another spot as it crashed through. If he had stayed a moment longer he would undoubtedly have been crushed. Men are at work this week repairing the I damage done. ; j IMPORTANT ROAD BUILDING • • j The contract for the new county road from Schellenger's Landing to

Cold Spring was awarded to a Philadelphia firm last week. It will be commenced about December first, aud when finished we will have a double entrance to Cape May that can not be beaten. Autoists and farmers will find it very convenient, and it will also be of great benefit to the future of that portion of Cape May. The city has also advertised for bids for an eight inch water main to be laid from Schellenger stieet to Schellenger's Lauding, which will also be a great feature to residents on Lafayette street.
