Big Fortune For Hedges.

1t has been announced that fortune
amounting to $3.50, 900, 900 now lying in
the Bank of England, belongs to the
Hedges family in this country, many of
whom are residents of Frederick coun-
ty. 1t is said that unless the lineal de-
scendants of Sir Charles Hedges, who
died in TIA, file their claims against the
estate before January !, 1916, the estate
will revert to the Crown of England.
The heirs have been quietly and earn
estly investigating their claim for many
years, and now the matter is to be clos
ed at an early date.

TrOuble and Then Some.

Mr.. Theodore Stoner, of this place,
has underwent serious trouble during the
past ten days. In the first place he in
jured his right hand while cutting corn.
The hand became swollen and caused him
severe pain for some days. Last week
while cutting corn the keen edge of his
cutter passed through several dry stalks
and into the flesh on his left knee. He
is somewhat lame now. Sunday night
last he had an attack of acute indigestion
which he thinks, had not a physician been
near, would have taken him to another
land. Monday afternoon he was able to
walk to our Office and bring US number
of fine strawberries which he picked
from plants at his home.

Developing New Land.
Work of Grading and Laying
Side Walks Now in Progress.


Side Walks Now in Progress
When the school commissioners of
Frederick county purchased land for
school purposes at Thurmont, plans were
made for roadway along the entire
east side of the school property This
has since been named Summit Avenue,
and extends from E. Main street south
west almost one thousand feet to tract
of land formerly belonging to the Shipley
farm, but recently owned by Mackley
Bros.
Seeing an opportunity to develop the
above tract of land, Mr.. Sanford Shaffer,
real estate agent of this place, purchased
the land and began planning to lay same
off into lots of desirable size for building
purposes.
That these building lots might be easy
of access, Mr.. Shaffer consulted the
school commissioners in regard laying a
concrete pavement along their property
on the east to his possessions on the hill.
The commissioners readily consented and
the matter of surveying and grading was
begun.
At this time work has progressed rap
idly and concrete walk four feet wide
has been put down along the school pro-
perty and nearly across the tract being
developed.
Mr.. Shaffer will extend Summit Ave-
nue. through his grounds to the field
owned by Mr.. L. R. Waesche, this field
being known to the older citizens of this
place as "Rouzer's HILL" From the
new development most beautiful view
in every direction can be had. To the
west can be seen the range of mountains
from near Emmitsburg on the north to
the Sugar Loaf mountains near the Poto-
mac river on the south and between this
elevation and the mountain lies Thur
mont. To the east can be seen the great
Monocacy Valley with it's various villages
dotted here and there.
Sidewalk and gutter will be put down
on both sides of the avenue on MIR. Shat
fer's property. Between the pavement
and gutter there will be grass plot
about six feet in width on which maple
trees will be planted. This will make
one of the most attractive places around
Thurmont for building, and already lots
have been sold to persons who, it is said,
are ready to build.
When completed, Mr.. Shaffer will have
built two thousand feet of concrete pave
ment and little more than one thousand
feet of curb and gutter, and piece of
pike ten feet wide and more than five
hundred feet in length. From the pave
ment in front of the school house shown
above to the extreme end of his property
is 1850 feet. To learn the beauties of
this place take your Sunday afternoon
walk in that direction. The avenue is
now open for vehicles but yet rough for
automobiles.

Ii Paws to Advertise.

Last Saturday evening large crowd
of people were attracted to Thurmon
through an advertisement inserted in a
Frederick paper by Mr.. Ross Ramsburg
announcing the opening of his meat mark
ct. The adv. stated that the "parade will
leave the Square with band at its h cad
and l00O-pound OK on wagon at 8 p.
m. The OK will be killed by an expert
butcher under an electric light. Each
person present will receive present. -
The band and the OK on wagon was
not to be seen. but Ross had the crowd,
a butcher and steer. The crowd fol-
lowed the butcher to lot in the rear of
w. T. Grimes residence where the steer
was pasturing and was finally killed. The
electric lights were not there, but each
person who made purchase at Rams
burg's meat market was given bunch
of celery. The meat Of the animal kill
ed was not sold that evening. A large
quantity of meat was sold.
