large stone or bowlder with one fiat sd

HINSDALE.
New Industry Coming.

The business outlook in the old Halle &
Frost plant continues to grow brighter
each week and now it is definitely settled
that another new industry will soon locate
here, occupying the west wing of the
main plant. The new industry, of which
the Cameron Brothers of Beverly, Mass,
are promoters, will, in the near future, be-
gin the manufacture of automobile bear
ings. The general opinion is that this
company will do an excellent business and
several of the prominent business men in
town are financially interested in this pro-
ject. At the meeting Of the Hinsdale
Power & Mill company Tuesday evening
business transactions were completed
whereby the Orren G. Robertson company
became sole owners of the entire plant.

A sensation was crested at the gene.

Saturday, when the committee On episco

now goes back 10 the committee on

that 1t will rsport sgsius! sup srsnnuation
In case OF an sd7erae rep TT, however,
the question will be fought out on the

The committee on education reported
on the differences between Vanderbilt

mended that the board of trustees of the
university be invited to meet the com

to adjffst the differences. The contro
versy is over who shall name the trustee!
of the university.
The conference commission has de

the right to do this, but the board OF

adopted, in terms sufficiently satisfactory
to some of the members of the Genera
Conference, a resolution accepting the
findings of that commission. 1t is Freely
