PROGRESSIVE IMMIGRANTS IN
LAWRENCE COUNTY.
Lawrence JourhaL'

The immigrant Catholics in this county
ATE the most progressive people in it. They
slip into the county, settle and clear NJ
lands, build school-houses and churches as
if by magic. The 3rd division inthe west
ern portion of the county, near Laurel
Hill, are settling up their land very rapidly
Already about twenty-five families have
arrived and they are still coming. A new
church has recently been built there and
the country is beginning to assume quite a
thrifty appearance. Eight or ten Of the
families settled out there are Polanders
and several new families are expected every
week. If we would go to work and get the
railroad built through our county, It would
soon be full of these industrious, thrifty
enterprising people.
