Marietta,

Appreciate your posting the "Tidbits of Hunterdon County Newspapers."

While I am doing the earlier Hunterdon Democrat, I find your tidbits
to be most interesting, especially as they often hit on my Sutton family
names. How large is an edition of the paper (pages)? How often was it
printed?

Again, really enjoy your articles and appreciate the effort you put
forth in extracting and posting them. Hope to continue seeing more "tidbits".

Thanks,
Dennis
