Herculean efforts to retain it, while
there are two other towns, Grano and
Greene, that are preparing to wage

offers the county $4,000 for the coun-

the townsite at Greene, offers to give
the county the free use Of a building
2Sx64 feet in size, for ten years in
case that town is selected. Mr.. Hall
puts forth the argument that Greene
is quite centrally located, possesses a
fine water supply and that the town
is ideally situated. Grano is get

will be heard from. Grano also is
quite centrally located, has good wa
ter, and the location of the little city
is most ideal. At this time it is hard
