To all whom it may concern:
The board of road commissioners Of
Beverly Manor District, Augusta
county, beg leave to make the follow
ing statement in regard to cutting
down and grading the hill at DRY
Bridge" near Hebron Church.
In the first place we wish to say,
that it is not in consideration of the
designing party or parties who manu-
factured and circulated certain re-
ports rejecting on US that we make
this statement, but for the benefit of
those who may be deceived by such
reports.
1t has been represented to the Judge
of the county court, that the road
board paid the contractor one hundred
and ten dollars, the full amount agreed
on for cutting the one hill, before the
work was completed. This is not true,
the facts are that he has received but
fifty dollars in all, and this was paid in
accordance with agreement, that the
work should be paid for from time to
time as it progressed.
At the expiration of the stipulated
time the contract was taken from him
and has since been completed for the
remaining sixty dollars.
Now, having stated the facts in the
case, we say further, that, had it rot
been for certain articles written b.
some lndiscreet correspondent, reflect
ing ridicule and discredit upon th'
contractor at time when he shoult
have been encouraged, when he needed
hands to push his work, We believ
the work would have progressed mucl
faster, and that the one hill, at least
would have been finished long befor
this time.
| Why it was done and by whom th
report was circulated, we know not
; nor do we care to know, and will onl,
add, that, had the originator beel
actuated by motives of fairness an,
, justice; he could easily have ascer
tained the full amount paid by referin
to the commissioner book at tn
county clerks Office, or by consultin
the warrants at the county treasurer
office. These show all money paid ou
by the road board and for what pul
pose paid.
We believe this statement is suff
cient for fair thinking people and it
for the benefit of such that it Is mad.
Respectfully,
THE Road BOARD.

has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake. cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but Al years of
age, can look back upon scores of com
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as >bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received a public school education. Al
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation Of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force Of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the, manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course of
time he became the head of concern
having an annual business of millions
OF dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
dltlons, works ever toward perfection.

and research Mr.. Hubinger has made

GROWING event of his wonderful
career, and which is embodied in a
new article of commerce, known as
Red Cross Starch (Red Cross trade
mark.) He is planning to distribute
millions of packages of this starch to
the housewives of America, at merely
nominal price to the consumer, in order
to make its merits known without de-
lay. Thus, for but cents two large
10c packages of Red Cross Starch may
be had, together with two magnificent

every lady will certainly want to take

Not in the Market.

= 1t is impossible to buy any prairie
chickens, quail, wild duck or other like
fowl in the markets this year, owing
to a law passed by the last legislature
which places an embargo on the sell
ing or having for sale such birds. The
law is most stringent in it's provisions
and is being rigidly enforced. It makes
no difference whether the game is
killed without the state or not, its sale
is prohibited just the same; and the
only way that it can be legally pur-
chased is from the state game and fish
commission, after seizure. Even then
the birds may not be resold, but must
be used by the original purchaser.
