nifty to realize on its new market house,
and at the same time fill a long felt want.

nav a reasonable rent. which would be
smaller than what they are now paying,

will contain a large drill hall and rooms
for each of the companies and Grand
rmy posts Just as soon as the arnory
is assured Gen Culver will try to get the
