ROAD MATTERS


County Surveyor Boyd reported that
he had inspected the work performed
on the Gait and New Hope county road,
contracted for by James Hicks, and
found it had been done in accordance
with the specifications.
Surveyor Boyd also reported that he
had completed the surveys and esti-
mates for the proposed grading of Fig
uera street in the town of Folsom, at
the site of the present foot bridge over
the ravine on that street. He had also
considered the proposition of erecting
truss bridge, instead of bent bridge,
as proposed, but found the latter to be
| the more economical
Joseph Dessosier, P. w. Gardiner and
J. c.. Boyd, viewers of the road petit
toned for by Sol. Wangenheim and
others to connect the Grand Island and
Rio Vista roads, submitted their re-
port. They recommend that, instead
of the proposed width of sixty feet,
the road be laid out forty feet wide.
| The road passes over the lands of
George Mcintyre the entire distance,
and the viewers recommend that he be
awarded 5000 for the 2.82 acres en-
braced in the road. The cost of the
work is estimated at $25.
The report was set for hearing on
the first Monday in February.

A PRETTY ROMANCE.
A Rich Man Gets a Wife After
Reading a Note.

DUNKlRK, n. Y, Feb. II.-Miss
Agnes Fields, of Sheridan, n. Y,
and Albert A. Plerpont, of Orange
Grove, Fla. were married here not
long ago. There is a romance con-
nected with it. Miss Fields is
pretty brunette, the daughter of
Myron w. Fields, a we'll to-do
grape raiser of Sheridan. At the
opening of last falls harvest she
had just graduated from college
and returned home in time to join
| the merry grape piCkers. With
several girl companions she was
working in her fathers packing
house when it was suggested that
each of the girls place a note in
the last basket packed before the
noon hour. The contents of the
note placed in Miss Fields was as
| follows:
"To Whom it May Concern
This basket of clustered fruit was
packed by Miss Agnes Fields. of
Sheridan, n. Y, upon her gradua-
tion from college Should it fall
in the hands of a gentleman, and
should he take time to carefully
sample the delicious flavor and
sweetness of the fruit, he can form
some idea of the sweet qualities of
! the fair maiden who so carefully
placed the clusters in this basket. :"
This particular basket fell not
| upon stony ground, but into the
hands of Mr.. Pierpont, who is a
wealthy orange grower of Orange
Grove. Fla. He was in Chicago
when he bought the basket, and he
liked the fruit so we'll that he
thanked Miss Fields by letter. He
also probably wrote that he was
young, unmarried and also a col
lege graduate; that he had large
possessions in his Florida home,
and, incidentally, that he would
like to become better acquainted
with the fair Agnes.
! His letter was answered by Miss
Fields, and in a month or so a
lively correspondence was in prog
ress. 1t resulted in Mr.. Pierpont
visiting Miss Fields home last
Christmas. The marriage was the
result of the visit.
Miss Fields is quite we'll known
in Dunkirk and Fredonia, having
attended both the academy and
normal school, where she was re
garded with esteem and favor.
After a tour, including New
York, Boston and Washington,
! Mr.. Pierpont will take his lovely
bride to his southern home.
