town, Ghermanville, is to soon have a
barber shop. The business men of
that place are also talking of putting
in an electric plant. The only OBJ

the treasury to an amount
equal for the occasion. If Secretary
Foster had many more months to ma
nipulate the treasury there wouldn't be

to its end, which, we
hank goodness, is only about fourteen
lays more.
