Some one with mathematical
turn of mind has recently estimated

| horse shoes in Dexter could be used
for the betterment of the town, within
five years, at low estimate of wages,
Dexter could have a fine opera house,
a park, water and lighting system,
paved streets and a good walk to the
cemetery. And we might add also,
less loafing and more business. -Dex-
