The County Commissioners of WI
comico county are considering the
question Of constructing two miles of
road toward Snow Hill, which was re-
Gently surveyed by the State engineers.
The estimate on the construction of
this road with stone surface, using
shells for the first course. is $l4. $3.50
or more than seven thousand dollars
per mile. The cost of stone is put at
80 cents per square yard, as against 50
cents for shells. The Commissioners
will undoubtedly use shells. as stone is
too expensive. Both estimates provide
for road IL feet wide.
The barn on the farm of Mr.. Earle
Il. Polk, about 3 and one-half miles
from Princess Anne on the Snow Hill
road, was found to be on fire about q
O'Clock Thursday morning of last week.
The farm is tenanted by Mr.. Oscar 7.
Powell. Mr. Polk now residing in Princess
Anne. The contents of the barn con-
sisted of 1870 bushels of corn. 10 bushels
of wheat, 3 stacks Of fodder. lot of
cow peas and some farming implements,
valued at 5000, with no insurance. Mr..
Polk s loss is about $500. The origin
of the fire is unknown.
Yachtsmen all over the the world
are turning their eyes toward Hampton
Roads. where in 1907, during the period
of the jamestown Exposition there will
be the largest and most beautiful
assemblage Of everything that floats OF
sails. from a warship to catboat. that
has ever been dreamed of by the most
imaginative sailor man. Prizes will be
offered and many new boats built IL
contest for them 1t seems probable
that new and better era for yachting
as clean and noble sport will date
from the events to occur during the
jamestown Exposition.

Harry Howard, of this town, has beer
associated in business for several years

powerful frame DR.. Wilson was taken

strength of an iron win and great bodily
strength he fought against the dis
ease and had passed the crisis when his
vitality gave way. His heart became

his case seemed promising until the
next morning. when he collapsed. DIR.
