committee of the board, were away
on trip together. They visited the
stations at Lexington, KY, La Fay
cite, Indiana, and Champaign, Hi
nois, with view to securing infor-
nation to increase the efficiency of
the station here. So far as the gen

concerned it was found that there
was equal work being done here.

tage of each owning farm, and this
feature is also likely to be added to
the station here.
Mr.. Frey, he of hasty departure
fame, has not returned. The hotel

thing of change is noticeable, say
these seemingly well fed guests, the
hotel has improved. Certain it is
that in moral tenor it has been lifted
up considerably. Freywill mot return.
