Personal NOTES.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. D. Scully were here
from Pittsburg the past week looking
over that portion of the Fayman farm,
north OF town, which Mr.. Scully recently
purchased. They had with them an
architect, who will work out plans for
the improvement of the old mansion
house on that place. The house needs
considerable attention, and a new root
will be put upon il al once, while other
changes will be made as soon as con-
venient, as Mr.. Scully and his family
expect TO spend the summer in their
country home. The house will be so
changed as TO face the sunrise and the
beautiful view OF mountains and Mary
land hills and the winding course OF the
Potomac river. New porches will be
built and the place made comfortable and
attractive for summer occupancy. We
shall be glad TO have Mr.. Scully and his

even if il is only for the summer months.
