4 MILLION FOR GOOD ROADS

At the meeting Friday night OF
the preliminary committee which
has been making plans for the or
ganization of a Chamber of Com
merce for Staunton, the statement
was made that Augusta county IS
contemplating a million dollar bond
issue for the building of roads. !hls
is good news, and if Augusta does
it, she will jump at once to the head
or the Virginia good roads process
sion, taking the place of Wise coun-
tv which recently voted a 100000
bond issue for improved highways:
The 81 900, 900 would, it is figured
out, build something over 300
miles of stone roads, and would
reach into every corner of the coun-
tv. That this would be wise IN
vestment there can be no doubt.
and the direct and indirect benefits
that would result from such an eX~
penditure are almost incalculabte.
IL WOulU lllCICdSC ce UNIV N'AN
of property everywhere in the coun-
tv, would give Augusta such an adj
vertisement that would bring to
her hundreds if not thousands OF
new people and would save her
people much more than the inter-
est on the money every year IN
tolls and wear and tear on vehicles
and livestock.
A bond issue is a bug~a~boo to a
great many people, and any such
progressive measure as this ls like
" to create some pretty strong OPP
position. There are enough pro-
gressives in the county, however,
to put such proposition through,
and we hope they will get busy on
the matter at once. If the money
is spent wisely it will prove the
best investment ever made by the
county and those who may oppose
it now will be the very ones to
brag, a little while later, of Angus
ta's highways.-Dispatch.

A firm composed of Arthur W.
Arbogast, Of this place, and Don
Sullenberger, of Monterey, has pur-
chased the Pocahontas Drug Store.
John Pearl Lamb and Miss Rosie
Kelley were united in marriage at
the Pocahontas Hotel Tuesday
morning, January "a, 1911. Both
were former residents of Highland
county, Va. but have resided in
this county for four or five years,
and will make their home at Clo-
verlick in the future. Rev. A. M.
Cackly, D. D., performed the cere-
mony.
If an increase in the amount of
tax paid by a county is a sign OF
its growth, Pocahontas has gone
forward by leaps and bounds in the
past six years. In 1905 the total
tax for all purposes was S43 900, in
round numbers, and in 1910, $751;
600. This does not include the tax
on public service corporations.

The health Of the home during the
winter months does not depend half
so much on having a competent physi-
clan engaged as it does in making the
house sweet and clean from cellar to
garret-particularly cellar-and letting
In just as much of the health giving
outside sunshine and fresh air as pos
sible. They are the worst competitors

mighty few folks are awake to the

night and a thorough airing out Of the
living rooms at least once day.

confne her near the geese to see If he

A wreck occurred on the Green
brier Division of the c. & 0. on
last Saturday morning at seven
0 clock, in which D. NJ. O'Leary,
fireman. was badly injured, and r.
T. Boyd, engineer, slightly hurt.
The wreck occurred at Cloverlick
and was caused by the engine, on
passenger train No, l43, striking a
rock which derailed it and knocked
it over the bank into the river,
some 20 feet below. The rock
rolled onto the track JUS t a
few feet ahead of the engine, but
gave the engineer no opportunity
to either stop the train or Jump Oft 3.
Boyd was cut on the right arm, but
not so seriously that he could not
assist in getting O'Leary, who was
carried into the river, out OF the
wreck. The water was seven or
eight feet deep where he was locat-
ed, but by the assistance of the
the crew and some of the possen-
gers, he was soon removed, and
later in the day was brought to the
Hinton Hospital for treatment.
O'Leary is badly scalded and has a
large cash cut in the back Of his
head and will be laid up for several
days. The baggage car was the
only one of the train damaged to
any extent. No passengers were
injured. Engine No. IS was about
half submerged in the water Hin

That the Plymouth Rock breed still
ranks as the most popular fowl in the
United States is shown in the report
Of the secretary of the American Poul-

states that in the poultry shows Of
that year there were $4,000 entries Of
Plymouth Rocks, 10000 Wyandottes
and 5000 Leghorns, with Rhode IS
land Reds and Orpingtons ranking
next in order. 1t is likely that these
