WHEEL OLUB ORGANIZED.
The fifty-six members who com
prise the new bicycle club, met for
organization, at the Exchange Hotel
on Monday night. After the object
of the meeting was stated, the follow
ing officers were elected : John 1.
Harman. President ; Geo. P. Ringler,
Vice President. VV. H. Eyer, Secre
tary; C. S. Van Horn, Assistant
Secretary, and Thomas B. Moore,
Treasurer. There are certainly plenty
of wheelmen in town and there is no
reason at all why a club of one hun
dred members could not be formed.
The purpose of the club we believe is
for the advancement of better roads,
and town ordinances.
