" sojourn of these gentlemen and their j families among us may be long and j pleasant ^ The G & W raiiroad crew has had a steam shovel iu operation during the past week leveling the ground r. contiguous to their right-of-way. j Section Foreman Louis is also dig- ^ ging some ditches for improved jf drainage. S1 Oil Wednesday, February 17, the w town council will let the contract w for a lot of ditching to be done with- p in the next 30 days. The good deriyed from drainage done in town 8t last year should be an object lesson c, to own town officials as to its prime importance in the way of promoting n good health. The officers of Acme Lodge, No 103, K of P, are making arrange- t( ments to move the headquarters of fi the order back to Harpers. The d lodge was organized here three years c' ago, but was removed to Rosemary last year for the want of a hall in ^ which to hold their meetings.
