Report OF Committee On Road
Bridges And Ferries:
We have noticed the road
bridges etc.. and find them IN
good condition with some few ex-
ceptions. One new steel bridge,
and:two wooden bridges are now
in course OF construction. These
are large size bridges, all small
bridges are being done away with,
and culverts put in where euch is
practical. We believe the Super.
visor is doing what he can to bet

Report of Public Buildings:

We, the committee on Publis
Buildings, have examined same,
and find that some repair is need
ed on front and back door of the
Jail, with one inside door 10 bs
placed to the jailor's stove room,
also some repairs to be done on
some of sashes, and we recon-
mend that lime be used as dis
infectant in and around the jail.
The public Offices are in good
repair, the Court House is in good
repair.
We again earnestly recommend
8 yard in the rear of Court House
bs cleaned, and put in a sanitary
condition. In the present state the
health of the officers in the court
house and the Jail are in danger.
The sewerage pipe running from
the court room should be made to
conduct the sewerage, and slopes
to some ditch, and the use of this
yard for purposes it is now being
used should be prohibited.

The republicans are viewing the coming session of congress with con- siderable anxiety, says a Washing ton writer. They are beginning to remember the bitter denunciation they poured out upon the head of a democratic president who issued bonds In time of peace and they ap- preciate the difficulty they will have In defending the course of President Roosevelt from the logic of their own words. Nor will it be any excuse for them to answer that no other course was open because of the weakness Of the financial laws, for MT Bryan pointed out that weakness nine years ago and the republicans, although in power in both houses of congress practically ever since, have never had the courage or the intelligence to remedy the defects. They have never even made an honest effort to do so.

EARLY SHOPPING BENEFITS.
Advantages Which First Purchasers
 Have in Christmas Bargains.

There is advantage for the buyer as well as for the seller in early Christmas shopping. The seller ben efits by getting earlier return on his investment. The buyer gets better selection and better service. The seller is enabled the more confident ly to plan his general campaign and the buyer can with more certainty adjust purse and requirements. It is good plan all around
 Such are the purely selfish cOnsid- erations which inspire early holiday shopping. Yet in addition are cer- tain factors which should induce all patrons of the stores to be as prompt as possible in making their Christ mas holiday purchases. The clerks deserve thought in this connection. No one who has been through the maelstrom of the last few days be- fore Christmas in a big store needs 10 be told of the trials of the young men and women behind the counters. They are subjected to a physical strain of the severest kind, and to a mental strain in the same degree. They are hurried by hustling buyers, eager to make a dollar go the limit They must be patient and polite. must make no mistakes, must be spry and must do much, often most of the thinking for the customers. They must decide moot points of taste or appropriateness. Often they determine the proper gift for a F year old boy or 37 year old bache- Tor. Their we'll Of knowledge must be bOttOmIess. And with it all they must stand and smile and wait and work with the manner of those who have attained the summit of human poise.
 Such a performance is trying. It deserves consideration. The early shopper helps materially to reward it. to make the task easier. And every little helpz- Every gift bought to-day instead of during the last veek before Christmas reduces by it's small but effective percentage the grand total of buying at the close.

ADVANCED FARMING.
The New England Farm Owners are
 Making Progress.

There has appeared of late, par. ticularly in the agricultural sections of the west, a tendency to decry New England farming and farms as worn out and old fashioned. Judged by the practices in the newer western sections there is probably consid- erable difference in methods, but the fact nevertheless remains that the New England farmer is to-day in all probability the most scientific and up to date in the world. Working soil that has been under cultivation for more than two centuries, he is an increasingly important factor in New England's development. Al England's development. Already the most highly productive section of the country per square mile, New Eng land farms are steadily advancing and the advance of this territory which elsewhere has been called worn out has led the march of me- chanical and scientific agricultural progress. Nowhere else has the study of soils and fertilizers received such an impetus; nowhere else has agri- couture as a profession and a science been so thoroughly established. and in no other section has modern farm ing machinery been so intelligently received. To-day New England farmers enjoy more highly devel- Oped scheme of transportation than any other section, for it is here that the trolley express, the latest and most potent factor in bringing the producer and his market together, Is being carried to its highest pOssibili- ties. By its use the farmer in the trolley line who formerly was forced to rely on the slower service of local shipment by steam freight or more often on his own teams. can now for ward his produce to city or town markets in hours instead of days
 Its development indeed by the build ing of trolley lines or Its adoption on those already constructed marks the opening of hitherto unavailable and consequently unproductive rural dis tricts. New England farms may not be so extensive 3s the ranches of the west, but they still maintain their ability. in spite of terms applied to them. to serve as an example of in- tensive and scientific agriculture and have served in the past. as they are serving to-day. with the utilization of the trolley express. as a standard of modern methods of agriculture.
