4 The members OF the local Masonic
lodge are talking and thinking seriously
OF erecting handsome, two-story brick
building at some point near the avenue,

will permit. Shares of stock will prob

Since the post Office authorities issued a
request that persons recei wing green goods
circulars should hand them over to the
postmaster, to be sent at once to the pos

enabled to secure clues to the where
abouts of the persons sending out these
circulars, and their methods OF doing bus
mess, and things have been made very
uncomfortable for these swindlers. II
everybody who receives green goods cir
culars would at once hand them to the
postmaster, the business would soon be
broken up.
