FOR HOLD LANG SYNE : TWENTY YEARS AGO : ' O.

Lee, Harry Headley, M Jacob C. Steelman, and William S. '®1 It appears that over the ap- ar pointment of City Solicitor, the i l>e came to a deadlock. Four 10 were submitted, and four UI drawn, but neither receiv- ul' ed sufficient votes to warrant the • — appointment.

The election was therefore deuntil the following Tuesday- , when James M. Hildreth of Cape ft May City was duly named City ■ 1 It appears moreover that the ad- \ ministrative body was, Twenty K Ago, experiencing the same | as at present relative I the collection and disposal of I garbage. Under a motion, the contract be- I the city and Anderson Bur- | geoise was declared annulled, in- | asmuch as the latter had failed to I comply with the terms of his con- | tract.

Dr. T. ('. Hutchinson, T. Lec; . Adams, and P P. Cresswell. Twenty Years Ago, the First! National Bank of Ocean City was a young institution: nevertheless, a dividfnd of six per cent, was m declared, and tho • ' , jiaddSrib the surplus." * The announcement was a clear ilndicatinn of prosperity, and high- , : ly satisfactory. Twenty Years Ago, Washington' Camp No.. 75, P. O. S. of A., held | : its first annual meeting. Thej financial report proved the pros-. r!perity which had attended the J' Camp, during the first year of its; existence, the total assets amount- j' ing to $S02.

'■ Twenty Years Ago the social : event of the week appears to have ■ been the family reunion celebrated ' on New Year's Day. at the home ' of Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Edwards. The dining room must have ap- r pearod very beautiful festooned in i green and white, while the table, t j adorned at one end by a giant f : turkey, and at the other by a shotc, gay with crab apples and j ! ribbons, was calculated to tempt v j the palate of the most pronounced ,| i epicure. s i The company around the ,fes- c jtive board included: Capt. and p Watson El wards of Gloucester; Col. and Mrs. J. Howard IWillets and daughters Miss Carolyn and Miss Helen 6f Port Elizabeth; Miss Hapnah Mitchell and Miss Susan Kerr of Englewood; Chas. Crate, of Camden; and Mr. and' Rueben W.
