Honesty is the best policy" Fra Dan
McGinty. Custer, though somewhat
slow and feeble on account OF its great
age is still ambitious and most heartily
endorses the introduction of all such inn
portant enterprises as water works, fire
companies, brass bands, ice cream par
lors, anti butter and egg associations,
etc., etc. But Custer first desires to pay
off the debt on the Natural Gas plant sc
lately established in her midst, and with
this object in view calls upon her citi-
zens to attend a mass meeting to be held
April 33rd, 1902, in Dan McGiuty's back
yard. Everybody be out.
