Southport has been a prominent ship ping point for great many years. far ther back than the oldest inhabitant of the town can remember. For here, for generations, the farmers from this and surrounding towns have brought their produce to the boats to have them car ried away to New York city. But in the last 40 years the quantity shipped has greatly increased.
 FORTY YEARS AGO
 it required two days to load a vessel of 70 tons burden, but now Simon Banks boat, the George Edwin, (which is the largest boat that comes to the harbor and is about 200 tons burden) arrives at the wharf loaded with empty barrels and by night these are replaced with about 1700 barrels of produce and she is all ready to set sail again by o'clock in the evening. Several years ago great deal of
 HAY USED TO BE SHIPPED
 from this point, but now not spear goes on the boats and many of the farm CTS are obliged to buy hay instead of sell ling. Farmers used to come in from as far back as Bedding, with tons of hay for New York. The season of shipping commences about September l, but for few weeks is slow, because the farm CTS have not quite finished their fall work and are waiting to see what the prospects are to be. As the season ad- vances, more interest is taken and about mid-winter
 EVERY BOAT THAT GOES OUT
 is loaded to it's utmost capacity. Toward the end of the season there is gradual dropping off and the season ends about May 10. It is interesting to note how quickly the report that a boat is in spreads among the farmers If a boat comes in in the early morning, by 10 o'clock loads of barrels will be seen along all the principal streets, and by noon there is regular jam of teams down around the wharf. Southport, | Fairfield, Greenfield Hill, Greens Farms and Westport furnish most of the pro- duce, which consists principally of on produce is equally welcome, and many apples are also shipped in an apple year. SIMON BANKS
 is the largest shipper in the place and some years has paid the farmers in the | vicinity of Sl00,000 in a single season. His boat is the George Edwin. w. B. Meeker is also a large shipper, | his boat being the Sarah A. Falkner, and s. Jennings $ Son ship extensively or | their boat, the White Rock. An estimate of the exact quantity o1 produce sent out in single season is hard to get, but it is immense, and some idea can be had when one stops to think | that a single boat load will consist oi 1700 filled barrels. It is Southport greatest industry.

be submitted to state legislature
at its coming session. The law
suggests the creation of state
engineering advisory board, to be
placed at the service of the coun-
ties and in charge of u competent
civil engineer at a salary of So, 900
per annum. The counties are to
retain entire control Of all road
administration, with the finances
and general control in the hands of
the county commissioners. But the
report also advises the formation of
county board of three members,
serving for three years, to which
the administration of roads and
bridges should be committed, this
board to have the benefit of expert
advice and assistance. Constant
supervision and repair of roads by
special working forces are strongly
recommended. Stone-breaking
machines are to be purchased by
the state engineer and set up at
convenient places, and the stone
supplied to county boards at cost.
The state engineer is to report
annually to the governor on the
condition of roads and bridges in
the state, together with estimates
of costs, expenses, etc. The bill
