TIE FOKT ROAD.-If there Is any
road in this county that is a disgrace to
the present age. it is the road leading
from Woodstock to Cross Roads in
Powel's Fort. The road on the East
side of the mountain is in excellent
condition. having been made by the
people Of the Fort. From the top of
the mountain down to the river it is
almost impossible to haul an ordinary
load. Like many other roads, money
aud labor sufficient TO make a good
road has been expended it upon it and
yet we have no road. The principle
reason for this is that we frequently en-
trust TO parties, who know nothing
about the business, the location OF
roads. This road has never been pro-
perly located aud it is useless to spend
money upon it, until the first work is
properly done. y good road can be
built across this mountain and it is due
the people Of that section Of the county
that it should be done at once. 1t
would receive a considerable trade in
lumber. iron, minerals OF different kinds,
aud farm products. Let the road au-
tlorities take the subject in hand and
ascertain the best plan for construct
iue a good road to the Fort.

COAL.-Partics are prospecting, with
hopes Of success. for coal at three points
in this county. One Of the mines is at
the extreme southern part OF the cOanty

one is about 3 miles from Woodstock,
and one is en- Turkey run a short dis
lance from the Frederick line. We
hope that all may meet with success
and that Shenandoah may in addition
to her iron and other minerals exhibit an
abundance st coal.
