The meeting of the Cass County

will be held at Union on Friday

fairer spot than old Cass county and
the neighboring counties that ad

also give the traveler a chance to
touch the great agricultural and

association to see that highways are
made fit for travel at all seasons of
the year and that the travelers from
the north ( south, east and west can
find the proper kinds of roads to get
over at all times.
The bridge and roads movement is
an important one in this day and

be in attendance at the Union meet
ing Friday evening, Oct. 8th, at 7:30.
