is verify a ~trust-buster, and it might

pine timber that has been left stand
ing in the South, that it will give i

Newton is making an effort to or
ganize a Progressive Union or a bus
mess league of some kind to help in
pushing the interests of the town. 4

ton that will always be on the alert |
for the best interests and promotion
Of enterprises. No town can afford
to be without a business organization
of some kind.
