Gifford Ballroad Is Curtailing Expenses by Seduction of Agents.

According to this order there will be no station agents in the future at Pleasant Grove, Newland, Gifford and Laura, but offices will be maintained at McCoysburg and Kersey. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Imes will leave on the early train Thursday morning for Indianapolis, where they expect to make their future home. Their many friends in Rensselaer, made during their long residence here, will regret their departure and join the Republican in wishing them abundant success in their new home.

Citizens should cooperate with the officers in getting Rensselaer cleaned up early this spring and keeping it in good shape all summer. Let us make Rensselaer a model city for cleanliness this year. Everyone can help by keeping his own premises right. Get started early and don’t let ep all summer.
