Lake county patrons of the Monon
railroad at Hammond were looking in
vain this week for the pleasant face
of Agent G. B. Peterson in the ticket
office Upon inquiry they learned that
Mr.. Peterson and Charles III. Adamson.
formerly of Bedford Ind, had ex-
changed places as agents The change
went into effect this week, although
the families of the two railroad men
are still In Hammond and Bedford re-
spectively- Mr.. Adamson and his fam
lily will occupy the Peterson nat on
Dcty street as soon as It is vacated
Mr.. Adamson comes to Hammond
with record for hard work. He has
been with the Monon but two years.
having formerly been with the C. & E.
!. and the Southern Indiana. He Is a
comparative stranger In these parts,
but he likes Hammond and his pleas
ing personality will make him and his
company many friends.
Mr. Peterson's uniform kindness and
courteous treatment of the public en-
deared him to the Hammond patrons
of the road. HIS many friends wish
him success in his new position. but
inasmuch as the work IN the two Of
fices Is about equally heavy. he will
very likely have no easier work. Mr..
Peterson halls from the central part of
the state. and therefore asked for the
change Of locations.
