TIE Rocks. March 12th-Icst from
long continued silence the readers of The
EgiS should become concerned as to the
existence of the residents in this section,
we wish to apprise them that we are
still left. Neither the weight of the recent
sleet nor the water of the more recent
floods have carried us away. Our public
roads are well nigh impossible. The
road leading from St. Clair's bridge to
the Holy Cross Church has one waShout
that is positively dangerous.
A few wild geese were seen on the Creek

chant of Clermont Mills, will open a
branch store at Pylcsville. Mr.. David St.
Clair has erected a new tenant house
which is occupied by MIR. Hayward
Street,.
The funeral of Mr.. John Mulligan took
place at North BENZ Church on Friday
morning. Notwithstanding the condi-
ton of the roads, Il large concoursc of
friends were present to pay their last
tribute. Mr.. Muligan had some reputa-
ton rs n weather prophet.
Mis- Louisa St. Clair, who has been
quite i'll nearly all winter, is improving.
Mr. Polk Street,, one of our cnterpris-
ing neighbors. succeeded in blowing corn
ground two days last week before the

M1cHAELsvILLE, March IA very
pretty wedding was solcmnizcd at Gran

Goth, the contracting parties being Miss

condition of the road are for the most
part correct, but in justice to the Board
of County Commissioners and the men,
bcrs of the Woolsey Road Commission il
should be known that upon the certifi-
cate of the Highway Engineer of the
Maryland Geological Survey that por-
tions of the work had not been done ac-
cording to specifications, they withheld
from the contractor over ST., 300 which,
had the work been properly done, would
have been due him. Thus while the road
at present is in a deplorablc condition
and is far from the standard required by
the specifications the following facts
should be borne in mind by the people of
the neighborhood, that no money has
been paid the contractor for deficient
work; that the contract does not call
for completion of the road till May 1,
1902, that it is due to the members of
the Woolsey Road Commission who
have given their time gratuitously to
this work, which will be of such great
benefit to everybody in the vicinity, that
every support be given them and the
present Inconvenience be borne as cheer
fully as possible for the sake of the great
which will result
Respectfully yours,
A. N. JOHNSON,
Highway Engineer

The Examiners action in closing 5c4

The WooIscy Road Fund.

Because of the many current incorrect
statements and opinions held concerning
the work now under construction on the
county road between Bel Air and Church
vile, it is due to the gentlemen compris-
ing the Board of County Commissioners
for Hartford county and those on the
Woolscv Road Commission that the
residents of Hartford county may be &C.
u,Iainted with some facts connected with
this work at present not generally known.
The total amount available by the will
of the latc Mr. WoOlScv for the improve
mrnt of the Bel Air-Churchville road is
$4,000. After careful deliberation the
Board of County Commissioners very
rightly decided to accept the bcquest OF
Mr. Wooiscy and appointed George y.
Maynadicr, counsel to the Board, and
William II. Harlan to form with the ex-
ccutors of the WooIsey will, a committee,
which by resolution of the Board was to
have complete control of all details
toward carrying out the work contcm-
plated.
Before proceeding any further this COM
mttcc, organized as the WoolSey Road
Commission, accepted the offer of the
Highway Division OF the Maryland
Geological Survey to make plans and es-
innate of the cost of the work. The
plans and estimates were made and
it was then seen that $4,000 was in
sufficient to improve the whole distance
in a proper manner. After a careful in
spcction of the road itself, and upon adj
vice Of the Highway Engineer of the
| MARYLAND Geological Survey, the Woolsey
Road Commission decided to reduce the
estimate by emitting the work on those
| portions of the road already i'll arelatively
| fair condition. In this way it was posi-
bic to bring the cost to approximately
| $4,000 The Commission also decided
that the work should DC let by contract
To the lowest bidder.
Accordingly the County Commissioners
advertised for bids and after considerable
delay finally obtained a bid for the work
closely approximating $4,000. The
Board decided that it would be wise for
county 10 add S., 900 i'll order to avail
itself of the SIC, 200, of the Woolsey be-
quest.
The contract was let August 10, 1901,
and called for completion by May L,
1902. Work was begun September 9,
1901 and continued till the weather made
it necessary to stop. Unfortunately not
as much progress was made as had been
anticipated SO that the present condition
of the road is much worse than 1t other
wise would have been. When, however
the road is finished and accepted by the
Highway Division it will be not only the
best road in the county but one OF the
best in the State.

A bill has been introduced in the
State Legislature to prohibit the brand

except the product of the juice of the

manufactured article can be sold at nine
cents a gallon and of course will drive |
the legitimate product of the husband |

City by the Health Department in a recent

vinegar. The deception has been carried
on for years and it is wonder that the
farmers have not asked for some legisla-
ton on this matter before this time. A
recent article appeared i'll the Baltimore
Sun written by Mr.. T. B. Hull formerly
of this county, which points out the
necessity for the passage of such an act.

In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance of our dear father
Lay. who died March 10th, aged
81 years.
Peaceful he thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life Is fed;
And with joy in heaven to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
So, farewell, father. sweet thy rest,
Weary with years and worn with pain
Farewell, till in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again.
'Tis ours to miss thee all our years.
And tender memories of thee keep,
Thine in the Lord to rest, for so
He giveth His beloved sleep.
