but it makes frequent trips and is
great convenience to the inland village.
Cambridge bears every appearance Of
being prosperous and is growing rapidly
with fine class of residences and bust
ness blocks, and best of all is peopled
with enterprising citizens.

the yards and in the cutters fronting
property. What an excellent thing it
would be for Edgerton people to foster

The country is being pretty thor
oughly canvassed by scrap-iron dealers
this fall and train loads of it are being
picked up and forwarded to the foun-
dries and rolling mills to be remelted
