diocese These latter have made their
choice. but the junior priests are trying
TO settle on some priest whom they will

quontly that company would have
liked to have moved their plant to
High Bridge, yet they were compelled
To locate in Plaintield because High
Bridge could not furnish houses for
the employees. The same difficulty
would confront any manufacturing
concern that desired to come to Elem

the Foran Foundry and Mnnufactur-
ing Company, of this place, more
trouble in their growing business
than any one other thing. Owners of

the signs of the times certainly point
to everything in the iron manufactur-
ing business to have n substantial

Company grow to ten times its present

testimony i'll favor of Republican
Prosperity. Such state of facts rs
above stated was never true i'll High

And we are happy to give publicity to
the fact that Hunterdon county is
