Flag Salute and Song by School PETER H. SWALLOW DEAD Peter II. Swallow, who was perhaps* the most widely known of this city's older residents, died at 7 o’clock Mon day evening, at the home of John C. Holcombe. Mr. Swallow had been in poor health for several weeks, but his condition was not considered serious until Monday morning, when he grew worse and was unconscious several hours prior to his death. Horn in East Amwell Township, in 1838, lie spent his early life on a farm . lu 1887, he went t«* Cordova, 111., wheio he farmed successfully and also couducted the car pc1 liter business. He returned to the East in 1884 and settled in Lambertville again. For most of the years since that time ho and Ills brother Anderson dwallow, were contractors and builders. Although a popular man with all, Mr. Swallow never accepted a public ollice. For many years he wns a mem ber of the Methodist Church and soon after coming to Lambertville was made a trustee in the Centenary M. E. Church, which position he filled up to this time, as well as takiug an ac* five interest in all branches of the church. His wife, Electa L. died four years ago He is survived by one •laughter, Mrs George Scarborough, of Pennington, and by two sisters and one brother. The funeral sei vices will beheld at the home of his brother, 185 N. Union street, Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, conducted by the Rev. T. S. Rrock, of the Methodist Church, as sisted by the Rev. H. A. MacKubbin, of the Presbyterian Church. Inter ment at Riverview Cemetery. While Common Council is straining every point, so it is said, to cut down city expenses, they have evidently overlooker! the useless expense of hav ing a city reporter. In the time of the late B. H. Joiner and J. J. Cruise the report of Council proceedings reached this ofiiec by seven o’clock Tuesday morning, neatly written and all hand j ed in at the same time. Now although we have explained time and again that I we must have same by Tuesday morn j ing, it never reaches this olllce until late Tuesday and usually the most of it comes in page at a time until Wed ! nesday noon. The reason we are told ' is, that they can’t do it lieforc and can | not find anyone to bring it to the office before. J. J. Cruise, who we regret 1 was forced to resign the office, was em ployed all day, but the report was here 9ften Irefore seven o’clock Tuesday ! morning. We are not treated fairly in jthis matter und ask that Council eith er see that satisfactory service is given, : or abolish the office which under the present system is of value to only one ! paper ITEMS OF PERSONAL INTEREST.
