Fraser, of the Ruxton Floral and Nursey Com
pany, has just completed the new carriage roao
on the Brooklandwood estate of MIR. III. Car,
roll Brown. in Green Spring Valley. The Ole
driveway was plowed up from end to end and
the new one constructed upon its bed. Inc
material used was buestone from the quarry
at Melvale, n. G. R. R., and included grades
Nos. l, 2 and 3, and topdressed with bluestone
dust. The roadbed is 16 feet wide, including
the cutters, which latter are paved with white
stone from the Beaver Dam marble quarrles
The cutters were mostly paved by Mr.. Frazer's
own employees, who deserve much credit f0r
their skill and the excellence of their work
These cutters are properly grated for drainage
with s, 10 and 12inch terra Gotta pipe, several
hundred of these being used. The length OF
this road is nearly mile and it is in itself
model of construction. By good judges 1t is
thought to be the best carriage road in the
county, if not in the State. The finishing
touch was put on by steam roller going over
it several times, making the whole solid and
smooth mass that the storms of ages will not
likely damage. Mr.. Frazer has shown him.
self to be an expert in the matter of road con-
struction and he needs no better recommends
ton than this job. His employees also deserve
due praise for the part they performed i'll the
completion of the work.
Mr. Dennis Carter, of Baynesville. is ship
ping at this time large consignment of piles
to the ]. S. Hoskins Lumber Company, of Bos-
ton, Mass. These poles are so long and heavy
that it requires two fiat cars to haul them.
Mr.. Carter has shipped hundreds of telegraph
and telephone poles to several different states
from this place, the last consignment being to
the U. s. Navy Yard at Philadelphia. One
would think, seeing these large timbers laying
upon the ground, that it would be a difficult
job to load them, but MIR. Carter has plan for
doing this work with blocks, ropes and horse
power and does it in the most satisfactory way,
after having his rigging fixed. According to
strict rule of the railroad company all these
cars must be inspected by the company before
leaving the switch and there has been but one
objection in all of his shipments, and that was
easily remedied The inspector of the road
says that Mr.. Carter is the most careful man
in loading such timbers that he has seen along
the line.

weather, is almost Overrun with orders for coal
