Simon Thompson Now a Cadet At Culver Academy.

Judge S. P. Thompson returned this Wednesday morning from Culver where he placed his son Simon in the military academy. Simon had his measure taken for uniforms and was assigned to Company A, Barracks No. 52. He likes the appearance of things there and his father believes the school is Just the place for him. Simon will be missed in the football line-up, as he was a first-class tackle. Nelson Bradley, age eighty-seven, has resigned as president and director of the Greenfield Banking company, having served in that capacity since he organized the bank thirtyeight years ago. He retired because of his old age and his desire to be free from business cares.
