IN SP0TSYLvAhIA

Assistant State Highway Commits
sioner G. 2. Coleman, of Richmond, was
here Wednesday and inspected the work
on the permanent road improvement IN
Spotsylvania county.
Mr.. Coleman was pleased with the
quality of the work so far accomplished
and says that better progress VIII be
made from now on, as the contractors
expect to increase the force within a
few days. He says the quality OF the
gravel used is excellent, much better
than he expected could be found, and he
was gratifed to find that the supply
was so plentiful. Altogether he was
much pleased with the conditions, which
have been progressing well under the
supervision of State Engineer A. r.
Brown.
While here Mr.. Coleman also went
over to look at the improved road IN
Stafford county just above Falmouth:
He saws it is wearing well, but that
several holes at the northern end of the
road need attention.

A GOOD PICKLE CROP

The rain this week came at critical
time. 1t not only saved the corn crop
and vegetation generally, but will make
the pickle crop. Indications are that
the pickle crop will be the best for the

is growing in Stafford and some other
