We have been very busy this

partment will arrive next week.
Then one Of the agitated questions
will be who is o.be the chief of the
fire department and who will be vol
enteers in the fire company. We
have some excellent material for fire

old Seminary property and we hope
at least one more effort will be made
at that summer hotel there before
