Pay Car Comes Today
    One of the most pleasing events in railroad circles, and which occurs with monthly regularity, will be the arrival of the pay car today.  Everybody is wearing a happy smile in anticipation of the large amount of coin that will be paid out to the army of railroaders and which benefits everybody in the community.
