MANY ENJOY HARVEST HOME ▲usual SUPPER of old brick church well attended— dihher BRINGS MANY old friends of the CHURCH BACK to cape MAY ON VISITS. . The annual Harvest Home of the Cold K Spring Presbyterian Church took place R on Thursday evening in El dredge'* E' Grove, Cold Spring, with over two hundred people present. The supper was served in its usual fine style by the culinary experts of the> country. The novel method of lighting f the grove that has always been so popular presented its usual ^eautiful appearance thru the trees, casting peculiar shadows everywhere frdtt the elevated wood fires. The supper that was originated a good many years ago has become more popu- ' lar every year, the attendance this year being greater than ever before. The money. derived from the supper is placed in the oburch treasury for current expenses, the amount taken in every year • greatly helping the old church. - The fitting' time for such an affair has always made U popular as the county people that are metpbers of the church have finished a great part of '' their harvesting work before the dinner takes place and'it Is therefore made a harvest feast such as was the original intention of Thanksgiving Day. OCEAN CITY BRIDGE A recent dispatch from Ocean City to the Philadelphia papers says: Three members o& the committee appointed by the ij^jfslature last? jwinter to look into the advisability, of Ah e State taking over toll bridges and toll roads in .New Jersey met here today to hear witnesses for and against making free the automobile bridge between this city and Somen. Point. A number of residents and propertjupvners were beard, and, with the exception of one, Freeholder Saul, of Wildwood, all were Unanimous in declaring that the bridge should be taken over by the State. Freeholder Saul said he thought the people of Wild- J i wood would prefer a free bridge from 8omers Point to Beeslev]s Point." V Freeholder Saul expressed the views of j the whole county excepting Ocean City i [ ; and if the maneuver to sell the present bridge to the county succeeds fair play -demands that the bridge from Somers " Point to Beesley's Point be -bail t just the same, which would place every resort in the county upon, the same level. The residents ana property owners of other sections of the county should .be heard on this proposition. MISS HILLMAN RETURNS— WITH NEW FASHIONS .."Friends and patron* of Miss L. R.
