captured in Terre Haute, Ind. last

out of commission for several nights

That Model City
Before the last city election held in
Louisville, the Republican Party was

Town on Boom
Goldsmith, Dougherty and Trunnell
have begun work on their new
garage and will soon have it
completed.
We hear that there will be several
new residences built which will help
out town considerably.
