Genial Man Always Liked.

The genial man has kind word or

insecure that he is in danger of losing
it by speaking to one outside Of his

crete, to the international boundary
line. Olga and its business men rec

on the map now and the time has ap.
parently arrived for the extension of
the Concrete line and at the meeting
called for Saturday Of this week will
make strong showing of inducements
to have the line built through Olga.
The agitation since the first of the
year for railroad building to the north
ern boundary line of the county would
appear to have got its start at a meet.

taking up the matter by the farmers
club of West Hope township, with
there apparently being every prospect
