The week in the tobacco market has

While accurate figures of the weeks

Inferior grades OF tobacco still hold
their own in price, which has changed
little during the month. while better
grades are reported slightly lower.
More of the better grades is seen In

season. and the proportion OF high

few degrees better than those OF
New Kent.
One of the most enthusiastic and
industrious advocates OF the new
highway IL Mr.. L. b. Manvilie, super
intendent at Newport News of the
Old Dominion Land Company. Mr.
Manvilie may be Justly said to be the
father OF the good roads movement on
the lower Peninsula. He started the
work and outlined the plan OF opera
ton yet pursued, which has given the
county OF Warwick a larger mileage
OF good roads, considering Its area,
than any other county In the State.
That this result has been accomplish
ed without q bond issue by the sys-
tematic and intelligent use OF the an
nual appropriation for road purposes
In a further tribute to Mr.. Manville
and the county authorities.
The woods are fun of people on the
lower Peninsula. who are ready and
willing to put their shoulders to the
wheel and their hands In their pock-,
books to push the highway project
along and they are looking to Rich
mond for practical cooperation. That
the city's business interests will meet
the Peninsula folk more than half
way goes without saving. Nothing

or build IL up more speedily than the
Richmond-Hampt Roads highway.
while the development OF the rural
districts inevitably works to the ad-
vantage OF the city with which they
trade. Hence liberal financial sup
port on the part of Richmond's bust
ness interests for the new project

Especial to The Richmond Eirgiuian)
FARMvILLE, VA, Jan. 1.-THE
citizens OF Farmvilie are determined
TO own all the utilities of the town.
The electric plant has for years been

the purchase OF the water company's

TENS need to be extended. This Will
be done as rapidly as possible. Two
of our principal streets have recent
ly been macadamized. and the next
work on streets to be taken In hand
win be the improvement of Main
street.
The rough eobblestones which were
placed in position more than fifty

have this street paved in the best
possible manner.

PROJECT DEVELOPING
Meeting at Williamsburg vii
Take Action Looking to the
Construction of Richmond
Hampton Roads Road

there can be no doubt of the ulti-
mate success OF the project.
Practically one-half OF the distance
between Richmond and Newport News
is already covered by good hard roads
extending from the two citlaa leaving
only about forty miles to be con-
structed.
The building of the new highway
will have a far-reaching effect upon
the Peninsula counties. some Of which
have not Yet gotten into the progress
band wagon. New Kent county, II
is said. offers the road-builders the
hardest problem In the construction
OF the new highway. The now read
must be built virtually complete in
that county, the highways OF which
are in bad condition. For the self
same reason no county touched by the
new highway will be more benefited
than New Kent. Not only will IL
prove an object lesson for the people
of the county. but the highway will
have a tendency TO immediately open
up large area OF splendid land,
adapted admirably to general farm
ing. Upper James City will share
largely in the benefits TO be derived
from the project, Its roads being only
