New Years finds Hillsboro far
ahead of Its condition twelve months
ago, 1903 has been for the county
seat a most prosperous year. Not
store room is available, the business
limits have extended In every direct
loii, the Brms located here have m-atle
extensions and la-t but fur from
least the coodened milk factory is
now running; with over a hurdred
patrous and the machinery xhortly
lo be Installed means Increased pat
ronage which will materially aid in
making 19C4 a still livelier year.
Notwithstanding the many liuuxes
which were built during the boo in
days wben Hillsboro had 1500 or
1000 people there is not now a va
cant dwelling in town and several
fine residences have been added, so
that the city has the largest popula
tiou now in Its history. Improve
ments have been general and every
where a more prosperous appearance
Is seen, sidewalks repaired,' fences
fixed up, painttDg baa been done,
although there la still something left
to be done along this line during the
coming season. Second street has
been planked, th electric light plant
improved and with the new boiler
just ordered the system will un
loubtcdly be able to satisfactorily
nneet the Increased patronage which
tas taxed Its capacity to the break
g point.
