The election last week of Mr., G. A

very valuable acquisition to the al

Mr.. Drew is a hustler as well as the
other commissioners, and with the

is sure to be something doing in old
Webster this year.
Preston and old Webster are rap
idly coming to the front anyway; the
roads built in the county last year are
credit to all those behind the work,
an every one is taking a genuinely
enthusiastic interest in road building
By the end of the year We hope to
have accomplished more than ever,
and have some as good roads as are
to be found anywhere.
Not long ago, the convicts did some
very creditable work in town, of
which every citizen feels proud and
in time the same work will be extend
ed throughout the county. And maybe
by that time the town will be
able to have a little paving, electric
lights, and so on-who knows.
Prosperity is in the air and the
lights are already talked about Pres

the "dryest" towns in the state Of

MARKET SUMMARY.
Dealings Arc Largo and Speculative
Sentiment Is Moro Cheerful

New York, Jan. 17.-Better condi-
tions prevailed this week insthe secur-
tiles market and prices were advanced
in a resolute manner. Dealings were
on an enlarged scale and speculative
was moro cheerful. The
was associated primarily with
the belief that tho governments at-
titude toward trust legislation would
be less drastic than had been pre-
dicted. This impression was given by
unofficial Warrington advices con-
cerning the attitude Of the president
and the probable character Of tho
administration bills on this subject to
be submitted to congress.
Although this Influence gave the
market its initial impulse upward. the
sustained advance was made possible
by other considerations. Easy money
rates facilitated speculation. Profess
enlarged Investment buying. There
was a good inquiry for high grade div
idend paying stocks and In the bond
market the trading was more active
with rising quotations.
Sentiment regarding the outlook for
business was more hopeful. The mon
ey market was not influenced by ex-
portation of $1.0QO. 900 gold to Paris.
Accumulation of cash at this center
recently and the prospect that the in
flow would continue for some time
made II probable that q moderate ex-
port movement of gold could be un-
dertaken without affecting the money
market here unfavorably.

early crocodile, which existed in the
Trias period. Although a number
have been found in the western states

value.
Some Of the prehistoric animals

When mere youngsters. long before

on the farm was done for the day,
go a-fishing in the evening instead Of
