MT. CLARE. April 18.-If the
plans materalize this town will soon
be Incorporated and take its place
among the no more important, but
more pretentious small towns OF the
county. At this time very little in
formation is obtainable, but it is
said that the movement is backed
by the Socialists and it is probable
that that will be the dominating
party in the new municipality. A
petition is being prepared and will
be circulated for the purpose Of
testing the sentiment OF the people
on the question, and 1t is not un-
likely that there will abe published
notice of meeting where
plans of incorporation will be agi-
tated.
At present the town has p0pula-
ton of about one thousand inhabi-
tants and some form of government
is badly needed.
Although the Hutchinson Fuel
Company, which owns extensive OPP
erations here, was the lowest bidder
for the contract to furnish the Pan
ANA railroad with coal, its bid was
not accepted. The contract was
awarded to the Pocahontas Fuel
Company, of Bluefield, and delivery
will be made at Newport News. 1t
seems that the latter company was
successful for the reason that one
of the other bidders was able to
make delivery closer than Baltimore,
which would have meant delay and
higher cost of transportation.
The dog quarantine, established
here three months ago, to prevent
the spread of rabies, has been
raised and special officer, william
Richards discharged. Since the first
dog run amuck and bit Lowell C.
Chtlds, there has been no evidence
of infection among other animals
and 1t was considered that the dan
ger point had passed During the
time the quarantine was in force
about dozen CANNES were official
ly" killed and many others more or
less seriously injured by shots from
the officers trusty gun.
