Twenty years ago an effort was made
to have opened a roadway from tine
Waters road eastward to the old Skid
away shell road. now Moore avenue,
and rights-of-way were obtained from
the owners of land for the desired pur-
pose. The Skidaway Shell Road Com
pany opposed the new road, for the
reason that it would cut down it's in
come from tolls; and there was enough
influence behind the opposition to de-
lay the project indefinitely andait was
finally abandoned. Since then the city
has been built up in that direction
even beyond the Waters road-and
there is now demand for thorough
fare opening the same territory and
an effort is being made to have the
paving of Henry street extended for
a distance of about 3,1OO feet. to the
old shell road.
Such a roadway, or street, is a ne
cessity, as there is no east-and- west
opening for communication between
the shell road and Estill avenue, dis
lance OF nearly two miles. whereby
there may be easy and convenient ac-
cess to the Cathedral Cemetery, the
golf grounds and Avondale and those
parts of the city's suburbs to the east
ward.
The proposed thoroughfare would ex-
tend 1000 feet within the city's linn
its and about 2.100 outside of the linn
its. and it is understood that the
County Commissioners are ready and
willing to do their part in the con-
struction of the roadway, if the rights
of-way are secured. 1t is stated that
certain property owners do not seem
inclined to do anything towards help
ing the project along; in which they
are not wise. The opening of Henry
street, as proposed, would make the
lands abutting on il very much more
valuable. Indeed, they would probably
be ten times more valuable There is
every probability that the city would
be pleased to pay its proportion of the
cost. Hence it would seem that there

that the opposition will cease and
that there will be concerted eff

of the city.

THE BULLS EYE.

From the Philadelphia Press.
They had been discussing some vex-
ed public question.
You hit the Bulls eye!" cried one
of them in approving of another's
statement.
Bulls eye" repeated a third. "Why
is the targets bulls eye so called?''
"Ahem! Ahem!" said the Professor.
This is one of many instances in our
language where words have gained
a higher status than that with which
they started and have been promot-
ed from the slang dictionary to the
dictionary Of words of respectable and
current use
Bulls eye is found in the dictionary
of The Canting Crew in 1880 and
was the vulgar word of the central
ring of the target used as a mark for
archers, which was colored differently
from the other rings. This may have
arisen from the ancient rounded
strengthened with a spike or central
boss for this shield or target; hence
target was often used as a mark it's
self.
: Then when. sheet glass began to
be manufactured the thickened part,
where the tube had been attached,
was called the bulls eye. Then this
term was successfully. applied to
lens of glass, especially. in a ships
side, to the lens of a lantern, to the
lantern itself and finally to the central
boss of a target

The late Senator George G. Vest
of Missouri, left an estate of $4,000
to his lawful heirs.
I'm connection with the conclusion
Of Admiral Dewey,s fiftieth year of
service in the navy it is recalled that
1t was not his desire that he should
go to Annapolis. One day he noticed
in the county paper when he was a
lad in Vermont a paragraph announc-
Ing that there was a vacancy in the
academy for the congressional district
In which the Deweys lived. The lad
went to his father, and, thinking most
unselhshly of his brother. said: Faith
err, here Is a place for Charles. Why
not send him to the Naval Academy %
The father replied: mo, 1t is not the
place for Charles, but for you, George. /"
And in a fortnight letters had been ex-
changed which secured the appoint
ment for the future admiral, who
made his first appearance in Annapo-
lis on Sept. 23, 1854.
