This was business meeting-sure.
The JOURNAL regrets, however, that
the State Normal School paving matter

Hats off to Mr.. Yungerman and all his
colleagues for nitimdtnm to Electric
Railway company! Let the town have

will not pay the company, no other
mile of tie road pays! Stick to this
contention, gentlemen!
