In his inaugural address Governor iltman talked at length about the Blvil service and taxation. He was rigorous in his declarations about law¬ lessness and asserted that he should as vigilant to flnd wrong-doing ana rosecute It as Governor as when Dis¬ trict Attorney. "Competency and ef- Iclency," he said, "will be my prime Objects in tbe administration of the fairs of the State." In further de- til he urged reforms.
There was a real genuine New Year's celebration at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Edwards, of North Main street, Roosevelt, on F'rlday at the occasion of the annual family re¬ union. Twenty were present includ¬ ing the best and hostess, Mr. and Mrs.

Seldom has there been a more pro- noant*ed example of tbe effectiveness of volunteer fire organisation or of personal courage and cool collected action than at tbe fire which partially destroyed tbe home of Theodore Dixon of Rooeevelt on New Year's eve. Mr. and Mrs. Dixon bad gone early to spend tbe evening at the bbme of a neighbor nearby. Two sons, Bdward, aged 11, and Theodore, Jr., aged 15 re¬ mained bome witb their elder sister. Miss Ester. Howard Teas, a friend of tbe families and a student in tbe Missouri College of Mines, came later to spend tbe evening.
Shortly before midnight Mr. Teas was attracted by crackling sounds from the attic and a bit annoyed, he hurried to the upper floor and opened the attic door. Heavy smoke poured out through the opening and the flames could be seen leaping toward the roof. He quickly closed the door and hastening down stairs, warned Miss Dixon and assisted the boys to safety. It was all done within a min¬ ute. The older lad wa.s dispatched

Prominent residents of Nassau County and Long Island have become immensely interested in tbe Orand Tour to tbe Paciflc Coast wbicb J. Huyler Ellison of tbe village proposes conducting in connection ,with the Panama-Pacifk: Ebcpositlon, the Elks Convention at Loa Angeles, and the Exposition at San Diego, California. Few Easterners have traveled more extenseively or are so well known In fraternal and pcHitical circles.
Mr. Ellison bas personally been over all the territory which will be covered in the thirty-three days of the tour and selected very cJirefully tbe principal points of interest to vis¬ it, which bas been made up witb the view of pleasing tbose attending. It is the intention of having the trip party composed of only those persou- ally known to the writer or bis friends

It is most significant tbat Mr. Rich¬ ards, up to tbe present time, has not received one word in opposition to the organization oi tliis Trust Com¬ pany. Tbere seems to be no doubt of tbe utility of such an institution. So far, there has been unqualified ap¬ proval.
