We are Pleased TO state for the ben
eft Of our readers, that our Congress
man. Hon, w. A. Jones, has prom
isei to introduce bill for an appro
priation for public building for
Cape Charles, and as the Eastern
Shore has been very modest in Their
requests for public improvements,
we predict that our Congressman
will be success ful, if the merits of the
case will warrant the expenditure,
which we think they will.-Cape
