apples has been shipped daily from the

biggest crop ever secured from these
orchards.

Accidental Drowning.

This community was greatly shocked
Thursday afternoon when the Marsh6eld
stage driver reported a canoe bottom
side up, floating in what is known as the
second pond and several remembered
having seen Alonzo A. Boomhower taking
a canoe ride up the pond only a short
time before. Search was begun for the
body but it was not found until about
II O'Clock Friday. An open umbrella
was in his hand when he was found,
which probably was the cause of the
canoe being upset as the wind was blow.

afternoon and probably as he opened the
umbrella the wind caught it with such
force that it upset the canoe, which
weighed only about 70 pounds, and
as he could not swim he doubtless sank
Immediately. Mr.. Boomhower was the
only son OF Mrs. G. V. Frasier, and
though he had been here less than two
weeks he had made many friends and
everyone who made his acquaintance
found him very pleasant and agreeabl
young man. His grief stricken parents
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity in their great bereavement. The
funeral was held Sunday at his home in
this place, Rev. Joseph Hamilton oficiat-
ing, and interment was at East Burke.

The President ON Good Roads.

In his address before the national
good roads convention President Roose-
welt made some good points. Among
other things he said:
at Is the habit Of road building that
gives to people permanent greatness.
"The development Of the iron road
has been all that one could wish, but
It is mere presumption to consider good
railways as substitutes for good high
ways.
1--WE want to see cities built up, but
not at the expense of the country dis
tricts.
"If the winter means to the average
farmer long line of liquid morasses
through which he must painfully force
his team IL bent. on business and
through which he must wade CT swim
If bent on pleasure, If an ordinary rain
storm means that the farmers boy and
girl cannot use their bicycles, you have
got to expect that those who live in
the rural districts will not find farm
life attractive.

UNIMPRoyED ROAD.

the fall. The road will then be hard
and smooth and the gravel will be
packed down, but not worn out, before
bad weather sets In. 1t depends on
what shape the crown Of the road Is in
what the condition of the road will be
for travel through the winter. If the
crown is in good shape it will shed the
water to the side bitches, and If they
are in good shape the road will remain
dry and solid.
snow, l will tell few ways to spoil
good road:
1.-THE surest way Is to use the road
grader and pile all the mud, sod and
weeds from the sides and bitches into
the center of the road. This makes the
road soft and muddy, and 1t will be
impossible for the next coat Of gravel
to unite with the old roadbed. The re-
suit Is the road will be spongy. The
best plan is to scrape it up into piles
and haul it to some gully, of which all
roads have a few, and dump 1t there.
"The road grader is good road
builder in the hands Of man that
knows how to use it, but otherwise he
will do a great deal of damage.
Another way to spoil road is to
make the crown so steep that all the
travel will take the center. The result
is the road is worn out in the center
and no use has been made Of the re-
mainder Of the road. The center is cut
up by three gulleys, which hold water
and cause the road to be soft and mud
dy when it would otherwise be In good
shane"

DEMANDED EVERYWHERE.
Americans Awakening to the Value
of Good Highways,

Americans Awakening to the Value
of Good Highways.
The awakening of America to the
value Of good roads is one of the most
remarkable things Of the last decade.
For Fgrhaps twenty-five years the voice
of the prophet has been heard here and
there in the United States, as in Massa-
chusetts and New Jersey and perhaps
elsewhere, but practically these were
the voices Of men crying out in the
wilderness.
Foreign travel has brought acquaint-
ance with foreign good roads, and men
have come back determined to do their
utmost to transform the United States
from land Of highways SO bad that
language fails to do justice to the sub
ject into highways so attractive that
everywhere there is ease Of transporta-
ton and of communication and the
JOY of living iii the country without
feeling absolutely cut off from access
to the city.
Nowhere is this movement for good
roads more remarkable, according to
the Manufacturers Record, than in the
south country. This begins in the re-
gion south of the Potomac with the
projection and construction Of interur-
ban trolley lines. The trolley lines,
now amounting to thousands Of miles
in the total, are followed by the deter
mination to make the roads suitable
for travel at all seasons Of the year.
Nothing cafi be told old soldiers of
the nature of Virginia roads in winter.
They simply are more famous or 1nfa-
nous, as the case may be, than other
roads because so much more Of history
has been acted over them. But every
where throughout the south, as the
Record shows, there are general awak-
ening and universal demand for In
terurban railways and with that like
demand for the highways with the
hard surface-in other words, for the
good road that is always ready for
business and Is invaluable for every
country that builds it.
