JEESEY FOLKS DELIGHT.
Want to See the Battleship New Jersey
Built at Home.

Want to See the Battleship New JERSEY
Built at Home.
The decision of the naval authorities.
to name one of the formidable battle
ships New Jersey. has spread wave of
delight over the Garden State, and the
day of launching will probably be made
a legal holiday. 1t is likely, too, that
Miss Sewell, daughter of the senior
Senator, will be selected to christen the
great ship. Senator Sewell and Congress
Loudenslager were indefatigable in their
efforts to have the States name bestowed
upon one of the vessels.
The people are likewise anxious to
have the New Jersey built in home
shipyard if possible. and the probability
of the location of the New York Ship
building Company's proposed plant in
Camden brings the hope that it might be
constructed there. The big Nixon yard.
at Elizabethport, will doubtless be bid
der, and next to that would come
Cramps, where many Jerseymen are
employed.

WANT THE FAIR GROUNDS.

Cumberland and Salem Syndicate En-
deavoring to Get the Property.
The following bit of news, printed this
week in the Salem Standard, will be of
considerable interest to people here;
"A number of the residents of Salem
and Cumberland counties are endeayor-
ing to purchase the old fair grounds. at
Bridgeton. If the matter should be con-
sumated they will form an agriculture
society for the purpose Of holding ore or
more fairs each year. We understand
that the grounds and improvements
thereon can be purchased for reasonable
sum of money, and we know of no reason
why such company canno. be formed
Cumberland as we'll as Salem county
has several gentlemen who are the breed
ers of good stock. We have number of
fast horses, lots of good ground to grow
farm produce on that will compete with
that raised in any other part of the State
and we know that the department for the
handiwork of the ladies will not be lack
ing in any particular. What more is
needed to make the movement success?
Bridgeton pioneer., 1899-04-13

Another great discovery has been made
and that too, by a lady in this country.
Disease fastened its clutches upon her
ana for seven years she withstood it's
severest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed necessarily
and could not sleep. She finally discov-
cred a way to recovery, by purchasing of
us bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much re
lieved on taking first dose, that she slept
all night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.

BATTLE SHIP NEW JERSEY
Congressman Laudens1ager's Effort Ia
Successful,

President Mckinley yesterday auth
orlzed the naming of the three new battle
ships, and one of them will be known as
the New Jersey" The state is thus
honored and its name borne upon one of
th9 mighty modern engines of war, will
be carried into all the world.
The credit belongs to Congressman
Loudenslager More than year ago he
attem pied to get the state thus honored,
but failed. He began then to prepare for
this event, and he has succeeded. The
incident goes to show the influence the
First District Congressman has with the
administration. it illustrates his indefatig.
able efforts to accomplish some thing for
his constituency.
He is not back number avoiding
trouble, but rather is seeking something
to do that will benefit the people that
sent him to Washington.
