FOSTER, a member of the Foster & Son lumber company, report a heavy increase in business this fall. They assign as a reason for the lively trade the fact that farmers of the county are getting in easier circumstances and building nice frame houses to take the place of the sod house. This is indeed an evidence of renewed prosperity. -- Colby Free Press.
