This locality Is certainly fortunate
IN possessing an abundant supply of
The finest road building material to be
found anywhere. 1t is red clay, but
differing from any red clay / have
observed elsewhere. 1t Is cohesive,
but has an oily consistency, and when
applied TO u roadbed forms a surface
very much like cement. The more it
rains the harder 1t gets. and no matter
how hard a rainfall occurs there is
never any mud; and during the longest
dry periods there is no dust. 1t is nat
ural cement, and is superior to the
manufactured products, for 1t does not
| crack and no grouting of gravel is
necessary nor used. A few inches of
l clay are laid on the plain sand road,
moOthed down, and at once makes a
hard road as smooth as cement or as
phalt and as durable, with none of the
4 leiects common to both.

that will have an up-to-date drug
store on the main floor Il hate to say
liz but I'm afraid that will be a drug
on the market, an elaborate soda foun-

course) that you may call for, and
Ice creams Of all flavors and shades.
