NJ Gardner IS man Of strong character. Tn
like many old men. he is not laxative. and it is
most difficult thing 10 get him talk about him

strong interest, although that is not saying that
he does not take any interest IN the doings OF the
world IN general But the things that occupy his
thoughts TO tho greatest degree are his home, his
church his business. his society (the Odd FeIows)
and The Tribune. AS he himself SAYS: There
have been mighty few issues OF this paper that I
have not read through since the first came out
