What has become of that paving

That proposition, esteemed con
temporary, we understand, has
been tied out in the woods to
await the withdrawal of some constitutional
snags that are blocking
the road.
In Sweden the depot waiting

President Hubbard, of t he New

TH
WHAT WAS DONE IN 1900.
Acoo/diug to the journals of
finance and trade the year 1906
was a record breaker in the United
States in almost every field
of human endeavor. Dun's
Review this week says:
With scarcely an exception, J
reports of industrial, commercial, I
agricultural, railway and financi- I
al progress during 1906 surpass ]

result is undoubtedly the moat
prosperous period in the uation's
history, and the new year opens 1
under auspices bright beyond 1
precedent. i
The Manufacturers' Record <
sums up the achievements of the j
South alone the past year as fol- '
lows : Built 3,055 miles of rail '
roads; produced $?,000,000,000 I
on its farms; dug 84,000,000 1
tons of coal from its mines; cut '
at. least 13,000,000,000 feet of 1
lumber; gave $700,000,000 worth
ot merchandise to Ameiican ex- 1
port trade; manufactured $2,000,
000,000 worth of goods in iron
and steel and wood and leather
and cotton and wool and other
materials; added $2,650,000,000
to the value ot its real wealth ?
And the Record pertinently a9ks:
"The South will do what in
1907 ?"

The stockholders of the First

i their annual meeting last Tues>
day evening. The showing made
^ by the oilicers of the institution
was highly gratifying to all in'
terested. The bank has been in
* operation only fitteen months

20 per cent. Its present resources
' aggregate $250,000, an increase
ni inn nnn m i w?iv?
The deposits amount to over
$106,000, nearly eight times as
much as tlie capital stock. These
tigures evidence the splendid
manner in whicli the bank is
being managed, as well as the
confidence of the public in the
soundness and stability of the
prosperous young institution
