Mrs. John Sullies, wife OF a well-known

Tltusvine Advocate: As an Indication
of how II. NJ. Flagler--the great friend of
the east coasts likely to look upon the
project of building a shell road from one
end of Brevard county to the other, we
mention the fact that he subscribed $500
for the bridge across Eau Gale creek
and road Improvements in that neighbor-
hood. His check for the amount men
toned was received by the committee
was begun on the road. In addition to his
cash contribution of 5000, he gave four
lots, worth SO each, in order to furnish
land Tor opening up a 66-fOOt street. For
the shell road-which a majority of our
citizens seem so anxious to have con-
structed-Mr. Flagler win furnish the
necessary shell at nominal figure. 1t has
been stated-but we do not know how good
the authority may he-that he viii charge
nothing for the she'll and viii simply ask
to be paid the bare cost of getting It out
and transportation. In this connection il
IS well TO mention that the Jacksonville
St Augustine and Indian River railroad
own On immense shell mound known as
Two Dollar Bluff. This is probably one
east coast of Florida.
