A Scott County
Prodigy.
e-Year-Old Boy Weighs
One Hundred and Fiji
teen Pounds.

Scott county, Virginia, has a
prodigy in the person of Clar-
ence Page, the son of George
Page, of Specr's Ferry. The boy
was five years old June ., and
weighs ll5 ponds, the exact
weight Of his mother. He was
in Gate City Tuesday, and at
tracted more attention than a
show which was giving n street
performance.
Clarence is not much taller
than the average hoy of his age.
His body is very thick and his
limbs abnormally large. His
hands are as broad and AS thick
as those of Il large fat man.
He had never been to town
before, and it was his first train
ride. He keenly enjoyed every
thing he saw, and notwith-
standing the intense heat.
seemed to be wanting to be
continually on the go. He talks
freely and intelligently, and
readily made up with the boys
who crowded around him. A
considerable sum of money was
given him while in Gate City,
which pleased him very much.
He said that as soon as he got
out of money again he would
come back and get more.
The boys father is n man be
low the average size. His
mother, while small herself, is
of a family of large people. He
eats heartily and many times
during the day. His flesh is
firm and his appearance gener.
ally is that of a boy of extraor.
binary health. He has light,
curly hair and ruddy com
plexion. His features are reg
ular and he is exceedingly
handsome.

ARMY WORKS ON ROADS.
Wise County Has 1000 Men.
Want Highway Across
State.

One thousand men are now
at work building permanent
highways in Wise county. out
in Southwest Virginia. This
army of laborers in one county
indicates the extent of the road
building movement in that sec
ton of the State, which has
been backed up recently by the
voting of bond issues for this
purpose
Wise led all the rest in the
State in amount, having issued
100000 of bonds. The con.
tracts have been let for most of
the work, and all over the
county gangs of men are en-.
gagged in making roads.
State Highway Commissioner
p. St. Julien Wilson is back
from Lee county, where bids
were opened on the road build
ing authorized there by bond
issue. The prices named were
for the most part regarded as
too high. and e contract was
made for only three miles of
road. Another date was set for
new bidding.
A great highway between
Bristol and Washington is the
ambitious project of the people
of the city on the border. At a
meeting held there last week
an organization was formed to
secure the co operation of the
counties through which such a
road would run. Naturally, the
promoters take into considers
ton a good deal of work al
ready completed, such as the
rebuilding of the old ante bel
lam turnpike i'll Wythe, Smyth
and other counties, and the
roads being constructed be-
tween Bristol and Abingdon.
However, it was fully realized
that the project is n tremendous
one, and that it will require
much energy, thought and the
expenditure of good deal of
money merely for organization
and education. At Bristol such
a road would connect with the
highway which is to be built
through the State of Tennessee
into Memphis, mainly with the
cooperation of the counties aud
cities, Richmond Times DIS.
