JAMES NORRIS ALSO GETS SILVER MEDAL

Section Foreman For Thirty Years Received Badge and Letter From Monon President. The Republican a few days ago published a letter which President Fairfax Harrison of the Monon railroad sent to Agent Beam, and which awarded him a silver medal for more than twenty-five, years’ continuous service. Since that time James Norris, foreman of one of the sections out of this city, has received a similar letter and a similar medal, with his - name engraved on the back. Mr. Norris’s term of service is greater than that of Mr. Beam, as he has worked for the Monon continuously for more than thirty years. William Van Pelt, of Monticello, now a flagman at the Broadway crossing, also received a medal and letter. r ~ -
