The Black Rock Springs Road.

A port Republic correspondent of the
Rockingham Register, says: "About
year since, a road was ordered built from
Shendun to the Augusta county line, there
to connect with road built by Augusta
county running to Black Rock Springs.
This order was given by our county court;
5000 was appropriated by the supervisors
for the purpose; and the road was ordered
built last spring. 1t is not done yet, and so
far as we know no effort to have it built
has been made. What is the matter? Is
our road board superior to the county
court, the supervisors and the people? Or
is it second case of bridge approaches
''my way, OF not at all ?" We would like
to know; the people who travel the Black
Rock road would like to know; Augusta
county would like to know. We are not
treating Augusta county right in this mat
ter. The Black Rock Springs company
appropriated a sum of money to build
good road from the Springs to the mouth
of Black Rock Gap. Augusta county then
entered into an agreement with Rocking
ham county to build a good road from the
mouth of the Gap to the Rockingham line
about 81 miles Rockingham would
build the road from the line to Shendun, a
distance of about It miles. Augusta coun-
ty built her road last year. Rockingham
county ordered her part Of the road built,
but our road board, road commissioner, OF
some one having authority over them, said
No Now what we wish to know is who
is responsible? We will enquire into this
matter and let the public know more about
it. This road should have been built last
year, so as to allow it to settle. But even
now it will hardly make good road before
the Springs travel commences. Delayed
much longer, the road will be hardly fit for
| travel this year.

g the manner Of conducting these tests
their results was impaired by Mr.
tney, who agreed to come down to Viz.
Il and visit the Tidewater, Middle and
81 mont sections for the purpose Of see
1neror himself exactly what the State
needs IN this respect, and to familiarizs
hlhsel1 With the soils of sections of thSs
commonwealth. MI. Whitney will also
appear before the State Board of AgrMul
ture when it meets in Richmond, April 9th
and Will at that time give that body such
further statistics, information and sugges

1t is proposed by the board to. establish
at least nine Of these soil tests stations in
Virginia. They will be located upon the
farms OF men, and the tests to be made
Will be not only to ascertain the adaptable
ity OF the land, but to find out It's require
ments and just what is needed to bring it
to desirable condition. These expert
ments are to be made under the direction
OF the State Board OF Agriculture, free of
cost, and it is believed they will be of un-
told value to the farmers of Virginia.

THE NEWS OF THE DAY.

Last week Mrs. Henry ArmeatTout of Port
Republic, overlook at Clifton. Forge her hus-
band who had run off with woman named
Payne. Armentrout was deeply repentant,
promised to abandon the woman, and told his
wife that as soon as he got work at Clifton
Forge he would send for her and the children.
With these assurances Mrs. A. started home
for Port Republic, and her repentant husband
went off, found his paramount and left with
her for the West.
When the PocabOHtas Co., W. Va, court
house was moved from Huntersvlle to Mar
linton last year, it was in the belief that the
latter was going to be a railroad town. Great
excitement was caused in both places last
week by the news that the w, Va. CentraI
road is to pass by Huntersville instead of
Marlinton. 1t is said the grading of the road
as far as Huntersyille will be completed this
season.

tai, Hon. S. Wexford Cofbin, president

board had previously adopted a general
plan. but had left the details of its intro
