to sentiment commemorative of Washington, and
narrated personal incident as follows

We copy from the last Salem Press the following
gratifying facts in relation to the extension of the
Plank Road to that place:
The PLANK ROAD. This has been the topic of
conversation here daring the week, and now, since
Mr. Cooper. the very industrious and competent En-
gineer has finished the survey of the route far
Bethana, curiosity is on fip-toe TO know when and
where the Plank Road will make its advent into
Salem.
We will cheer:uIly imPart all the information in
our possession, and are happy say that MI Cooper
has pronounced the route through this place, far
Bethania, practicable and nothing remains 10
the construction of the road, but liberal sub
scnPons the part of the citizens IN the neghbor-
hood of the contemplated route. We understand
this end of the route 70 be through the elches SET
Element by way of Waughtown, along the hollow

Of Church street, and intersect Main street at Dr.

Thus far, the work goes braveIy on and our cti-
Zens seem to be alive TO the importance of the SUBJ
ject. some 900 having already been subscribed.
The subscriptions in this place conditional and
in favor of the route named above, through the

Monday evening, f. L. Winslow, Esq, President Of
the Road, being visit to this place, addressed
the meeting the importance of the construction of
the road, explained the Plank Road system fully, and
encouraged subscriptions of stock, experience had
proven that it certainly would be profitable invest
ment. We had not the pleasure of being present, and
therefore cannot attempt sketch of his remarks,
but understand they well received, and addition
al stock has been taken since. The prospect is,
that some twenty of thirty thousand dollars be
raised in this section of country"
