Colvin B. Brown of Washington, D.
c., an official of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, spoke here last
Friday evening at the Armory to a
large and interested crowd of citizens.
He told of the work of local chambers
of commerce and pointed out their
powers and opportunities in the en-
couragement of the growth and de-
velopment of their respective commun-
tiles. His theme was that the local
village or city cannot live unto itself.
but must extend its interest and its
encouragement to the surrounding
country, because the life of a town is
drawn chiefly from the basic agricul-
tural life about it. The closer linking
of the commerce and the industries II
community and the finding of means
by which each shall work for the up
building of all is the sort of co-opera-
ton that is needed, he pointed out.

In spite of the bad condition of the
roads and the impossibility of driving
cars in the country, or of driving
sleighs in the city without great dis
comfort, the sales day Tuesday drew
a good crowd. The auction on the
East Side Market Square was sue

sonably satisfactory. AS conditions
of travel grow better and the weather
improves, it is certain that these oc-

this city and its surrounding territory.

Large shipments of cement are be-
ing received in this county for use in
the building of State and County
roads. The cement is coming from
the plant of the Marquette Cement
Company at the rate of six carloads a
day until the allotment of 58,5 bar
rels is received. 1t is being stored in
this city, Pittsville and Vesper until
time for its use. The net price of this
cement is $1.30 per barrel, it is report
ed. An additional $4,000 barrels will
be purchased from other companies at
a slightly higher price, it is stated.
The cost of storing will add somewhat
to the cost, but will do away with de-
lays in the construction program which
would result from waiting for ship
ments to be made while work is going
on.
