Col. A. L. Conger came in from Akron,
| o., Friday and a meeting of the directors
of the Diamond plate glass company was
held. None of the officers would talk of
the object of the meeting or whether it
had an object, the general reply being,
There's nothing new" 1t is currently
rumored, and the fountain head of the

positively, still he left the impression
that there is no intention on the part Of

way, and so when Dan told Dave he had
an elegant brand OF stick beans the lat

variety. When the truck began TO peep
| from the ground they hired a one-horse
| wagon, drove ten miles into the country,
got load of straight saplings and, by
| the use of a spirit level did an excellent
! job of bean-sticbing. The ten-foot poles
are still waiting for the beans to climb

| they have grown about eight inches.
| The two families have made up their
| minds that buch beans is the only kind
