EUREKA ENrERINGs,

The late rains revived the corn and
the hopes of the farmer.
The building boom continues In spite
OF the heated term. The saw and ham
mer and the whistle of the carpenter
are to be heard all over the town. The
music of the trowel with the cry for
mortar and brick enlivens the whole
length of Main street,
There Is something in the wind. Men
are gathering in little knots along the
shady side of the street and talking in
suppressed tones about something.
Every now and then you meet a man
who will shake hands with you and in
quire after the health of your wife and
children. He may ask you to smoke
He is kind man and is sure to let you
know that he is interested in your vel.
fare.
The Fourth came and went like any
