calculations of the commissioners and
that a good many of the sub-contrac

company and it is possible that legal
tangle may ensue before the affairs are
satisfactorily adjusted.

NEWS OF THE COUNTY SEAT


we are in need of some fire lighting ap-
pratus We sincerely hope that the
board of trustees will realize this and
provide for the necessary volunteer fire
department. No doubt we have the
men to do this.

that would have occurred had this
building stood in the immediate vicini-
ty of others. 1t undoubtedly would
have been great.
The Pennsylvania has ordered the
Gary Heat and Light company to in
stall light at Chicago street, Fourth
street and Main street. This will be a
great improvement.
Do not forget the literary entertain
ment this evening at the Beverage
school. Come and hear the debate be-
tween Professor Malmstone and Profess
sor Mundell.
Mr.. Cohee of Logansport, Ind, was In
town today looking over his five acres
recently purchased through the Bor-
man & Waldron real estate firm. He
is more than pleased with his pur-
chase and will subdivide at once and
get ready for spring. 1t Is thought by
real estate men that the business in
their line will break all records the
coming spring. Whoever thought that
no good could come from Toleston or
that Toleston could ever become any
thing but headquarters for hunters
in the hunting season, better change
his opinion Our slogan is: Watch
ToIeston grow"
