bridge for the county over the waste,

crosses it. It will probably be much
appreciated by tourists, as hereto-,

stream.

Belle and Howard Packard, mem- |

pleted a successful season with their
pigs, seven fine brood sows being

nicely cured.
The prevailing cold weather is
bringing great joy to the Boardman
