GREAT ROAD
Now From Davisson's Run to Wilcox
Road Since Grading Has
Been Done.

Farmers drove over the Milford
road Saturday morning and into
the city with broad smiles, rejoicing
over the repair work that had been
done on the road from the mouth of
Davisson's run to the top of the
four-mile hill at the Wilcox road.
John Wagner is the overseer and Lee
Maxwell and others did the grading.
The farmers and all who are drlv-
ing over that road are highly elated
over the magnificent results obtain
ed by Messrs. Maxwell, Wagner and
Others. And now the farmers are
thinking of getting double set of
rubber tires for their buggies. To
say they are pleased is failing to ex-
press It strongly enough.

To Make 1t More Convenient and
Better for Those Getting Mail
on Other Routes.

SHINNsToN, w. Va, July 2e-
Rural Route Inspector Smith was
in Shinnston this week looking into
this department OF the work at the
local office and incidentally to ar
range for the delivery of mail to the
new mining settlement that is to be
founded on Mudlick in the near fu-
ture. Accompanied by Postmaster
Knox. Mr.. Smith drove out to that
section and had look at the site Of
the proposed new town.
The v!sl: OF the inspector to
shinnston gave rise to discussion
of the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing a
new rural mail route here. The
need OF an additional route has long
been apparent and when Mr.. Smith
was acquainted with the situation he
undesitatingly endorsed the move
and assured the postmaster that he
would recommend to the department
the establishment of new route
nSiS anu Wolh 10 secure II. some
additional territory will likely be
added to the two present routes also
In order to better serve the people.
Many people living within a few
miles of Shinnston in the neighbog-
hood of Coon's Run are supplied
from the Monongah office and the
same is true with regard to the clti-
zens of shinns Run, who receive
their mail through the Bridgeport
Office. 1t would seem that this bust
ness belongs to shinnston and an eff
fort will be made to get 1T.

Are Matter of History.

At last, there is not toll bridge
in Harrison county, fact that
ought to please all. There was one
such bridge until the county court
entered an order Friday evening, by
which II purchased the Clarksburg
Industrial, Company's bridge across
Elk creek. AS soon as the order
was entered the toll was taken off
by the company and today the bridge
is free to every one to use without
cost or expense.

The vote purchasing tho bridge
was by President j. d. Basel and
Commissioner G. F. Randall of the
court. Commissioner b. b. Stout
being a member and president of the
clarksburg Industrial Company did
not vote on the proposition. The
price paid is $4,000 and is to come

The court had had presented to it
petitions bearing hundreds of names
asking the court to buy the bridge
and there seemed to be general de-
mand that there should no longer
