! growth. Chas. ii. Turner has Just
finished up a public hall and IS. I'm

| Agra citizens have offered to donate
about 400 acres Of ground near town
to the proposed Christian College II
it is located there. We hope Agra
will secure it if Phillipsburg does
not. One of the most notable things
about Agra is the beautiful grove OF
Mr.. Chas. Turner. The trees were
planted eight, nine and ten years ago
and are now beautiful to behold.
Mr.. Turner has demonstrated that
trees will grow rapidly in Phillips
