street Paving.

The paving of two blocks on queen

Mspsin street is about completed and
he Job is pronounced fine one.
The streets were graded carefully,
then rolled by heavy steam roller,
then layer of crushed limestone OF
about two inches thickness and then
about two inches of fine sand were put
on before the bricks were laid. The
bricks are then cementea together max
ing very solid job.
This small strip has been only an

The playful paragraphers who are
teasing Marse Henry about his dark
horse candidate should remember that
the entries for the race do not close I'M
til next year and there Is ample time
for the illustrious Democrat to name
his candidate fer presidential honors,
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Wstterson
will have his candidate well trained
and fit to run for his life, for the SUI
premacy of the party depends upon
no mistake being made when the trial
heats have been run and the real can

For New goad

Mr.. q. w. Cross WAS in own yes
terday and talked entertaingly of the
road leading to Shepherdstown via the
Stone bridge. He and Mr.. Lawrence
Lee have been active in the interest of
this road Mr.. Lee has succeeded in
raising considerable sum of money
and Mr.. Cross has gotten all the stone
fences from the county line 10 Flags
donated and the consent of everybody
along the way for the Sc of their
fields for obtaining stone, Mr.. Cross
has secured more than a hundred rods
of stone fence which he says will be
about enough 10 build the road from
the marsh TO the slate land.
Thi looks as if we are bound to
have a good road between Shepherds,
town and Msrtiusburg.
There is yet one great obstacle and
that is the PROXIMITY of the road
to the railroad but it is said that new
road can be gotten over the land north
of the old road where it runs parallel
with the railroad. If possible thi 5
ought to be done. There are many
people whe would not drive along the
railroad if the rest of the road were as
good as the Kings highway.
We hopeto see the good WORK in
actual progress before long.
