inadequate that they deprive that pari
Of Southern Maryland Charles and

promptly and thus prevent trucking

Witness further stated that in order
10 attend to business in either OF the
large cities and be absent only one
day, ii was necessary to drive 70 the
Poper Greek Branch, while If the W.,
p. q c., would run an early train from
Mechanicsville connecting with the
Pope's Creek Branch at Brandywine,
and q return train at night they would
accommodate their patrons, increase
their revenues and stimulate the de-
yelopment Of the county through which
it runs. An inquiry from Commits
sioner Timanus as to the advantages
to be derived by the road be-
ing extended to Point Lookout, and

Mystery Of The Macintosh
september lath, 1913.

september iftni iVl9'
Dear Editor OF the Beacon - Can
any Of your readers throw some light
on mystery that has puzzled me for
several months There Is a little
house just the other side Of the new
State Road Bridge over the Maekin-
tosh on the right hand as You come
out from Leonardtown. Tho door and
windows are closed and barred and as
you pass by you wouldn't think o soul
could live in the house 1t looks like
a prison or haunted house. The
mystery Is In this that there Is good
looking lot OF well fed Chickens al
ways to be seen about the house, cs-
pecially about the back door. Who
owns these chickens, who feeds them,
who gets the benefit Of them2 II Is a
well known fact that chickens must be
fed and they have q practice ofhanging
around their feeding place, as empty
house has no attraction for them.
Some OF your readers may be able
to solve this mystery and add another
piece to scientific discovery.
We laid this mystery before the En-
terprlsc few days ago but our appeal
SO far has met with no response.
Yours with respect,
CURIOUS.
