greetings and best wishes of Jackson

local fight, resulting in the re-
moval of the public buildings from
Webster to Sylvia, which is bringing
to pass things long hoped, but never
before relied. Good roads are being
built in every direction; our water
power is being harnessed; our mines
are being worked; our timber is be-
ing developed; our educational in
terest are advancing in every way.
In the last decade, half a hundred
new school houses have greeted the
eye. We are now hoping for the es-
adjustment of farm life school in
the old public buildings at Webster
the first to make lis advent in the
west. We are feeling the quichenine
influences along every line as never
before. Education is our watch-Word
progress is our slogan.

velopments along every line, yet
