The boys are practicing faithfully and the consequence is, that under the leadership of N. L. Atkins, ; they are being developed into a rausi- ; cal organization that any city might i well feel proud of. Through the kind- j ness of John Cornelius we are enabled j to publish the instrumentation, and I also officers of the organization: John I Cornelius is president; Ralph Kinton, 1 secretary; Oscar Loomis, treasurer; Brick and Tile Plant Gaining Favor The promoters of the brick and tile works are meeting with most favorable conditions and the probability of a plant here seems more certain each day. A location near the depot has practically been decided upon. The necessary stock to be raised is finding owners in 8500 sums, which is a criterion for what is to follow. It is calculated that most of the tile making will be done in the winter time when ! employes can be secured easier, and it is estimated that it will require about | 25 persons to ran it.
