THINGS TALKED ABOUT.

"a manufacturer was in Mt. Holly
on Wednesday, says the Herald, try
ing to interest some of the business
men here in a plan to start an iron
mill here. He wanted to get tract
of land and erect a plant that wouIf
give employment to 200 men with
payroll of $4,000 a week, but thoughi
the townspeopIe should take finan
eial interest in it. After he had gone
the rounds the chances are he was moi !
much encouraged. All the men who
have taken up this branch of village
Improvement have been more or less
stung, and they are keeping away from
the nest now.
As general principle manufac
turers who must be rendered any con-
siderable amount of local financial aid
to induce them to locate in conmun
itv, are of doubtful value because we
believe more of such industries have
been failures than successes. The
manufacturer who is out for success
locates where help may be secured,
where there is competition in freights
and where taxes are reasonable. All
things being equal, he will then choose
the place where rents or land values
are lowest. and perhaps where some
financial assistance may be obtained
Woodbury. will be more attractive to
manufacturers when the branch of
the Delaware that reaches the city is
Strengthened and deepened. If Wood
bury Board of Trade, in the next few
years, can secure this Improvement.
it will justify the continued existence
of that body.
eThe demand for houses in Wood
bury cannot be supplied We see
IEhat interesting item in print every
EEweek or two, and it Is half true. The
I half not told, has, however, most
news value If the item read, The
demand for houses that rent at from
$12 to $40 a month is greater than the
supply" it would be true There are
several houses to rent in Woodbury.
but they are of higher price. The de-
mand for s12 to $40 a month houses
is yet not supplied. 60
The Glorious Fourth with its fire
possibilities is drawing near. Its
good plan to have the fire apparatus
in good order and the insurance policy
in the safe deposit vault.

ing columns of this paper has receiv-
ed lot OF publicity the past few days
from the Philadelphia dailies. They
are not altogether accurate in their
teneHts that he wants 4 woodbury.

just what he wants, SO we hope our
fair readers will be. guided by that.
The Philadelphia papers, in such mat
ters, are more sensational than truth
full. -
The testimony in the Nathan case
published in this paper shows that
Messrs Robinson, Ennis and Ball,
employees of the Rosengarten Es-
tate, and Dr. McGiIl, their veterinar-
IAN. were the only persons who knew
that the bunch of COWS sold to Nathan
had been condemned as tuberculous-
If the Prosecutor could have produced
such conclusive proof of Nafhan's
knowledge, as was against these
men, the heavy hand of the law
would yet be upon him. We: are led
to ask, and our readers will be glad
to know, what will be done to punish
the employees of the rich Rosengarten
estate? They took Mr.. Nathan's S moH-
ey in exchange for bunch of cows
they knew to be dangerous to huUsan
/ life. They recommended them highly,
and gave as an excuse that the reason
of the low price was that the dairy
was running the estate in debt ever
day. They sold the milk every day
after the cows had been condemned
