from division foreman at IOvanston
to a similar position at this place
only a few weeks ago, has, at the
suggestion of President Burt, been
given the supcrintcndcncy of the

ment for Mr. Stewart, the salary

than in the position held here.

Wednesday night and assumed his
duties yesterday. This promotion
bears out the prediction rcccntlv
made in these columns that Mr.
Stewart is the coming man in the

illy announced that the position of
division foreman here has been
offered to Matt Wilkins. who has

20, 1875, the Hebron Journal made
this observation, and it yet lnlds

which so much has been said, do
not come as a judgment, nor as the
result of an accidental freak of
nature, but as the natural and
legitimate result of the wholesale
destruction of bird?, which has
been carried on so wantonly in the
past."
