i lost time in making hay. The wet
weather has brought the meadow up
i to about the a,s'1ge.
| DR.. Brag, till 'll:s week has fec'
working force { bout 10 me1 OK
'cavating for pool at his mineral
spring. He has not lieen able to get
teams and hands tbs week on &C
count OF farmers purt'ag up their
lay. Nevertheless he is nearly ready
;3l he concrete.
The pool when finished will be 25S
As feet inside, will be 6 feet deep at
one end and 2 fet at the other. There
will be a smaller pool in which one
can have a bath at any temperature
desired.
The ground will be level and beau
tiful and will be vertiable paradise
for the health seeker as well as for
those on rest and pleasure bent.
Our roads are almost impossible,
DR.. Bragg, at his own expense has
dragged the road from his place to
the bridge at the river, almost two
miles and hauled gravel and filed up
a few of the worst ruts and mud holes
and is assisting in putting in few
culverts that have long been needed.
Our roads here are not yet let to
contract and they have gone to the
bad sure enough.
i should like to call attention t.
the fact that at ntns % the cross
roads there are no finger or sign
boards. Tourists or strangers are at
loss to know which road to take,
even people of our own county are
often confused. This season party
of six from Norfolk, Va, who were
touring the county got loss between
Bolar and Monterey. Only last fall
party from Staunton, former res
idtnt of Mcdowell, got lost between
~ nterey and Bolar-he wanted to
come down Big Valley way and IN
crossing Dixon Hill, there being no
sign boa d on this side he took the
right and road which led him down
Dry Branch and back to the Jackson's
River road at Mr.. Frank Terry's.2
Incidentally he drowned engine in
the river and had to get Mr.. Terry
to haul him out.
The law requires these sign boards
| at every cross road and proper au-
thority, our road Comr. or Board of
supervisors should see to it, that g
proper sign in large letters should be
on hand ali hours Of the day ana
night to direct the traveller.
| DR.. A. w. Miller and family, of
Harrisonburg, are rusticating, resti-
eating and regenerating at Bolar.
Willis w. Wilson and family ac-
companied by Mrs. Cook, of Church
vile, are here for a few days, while
tMr, Wilson makes hay on his farm
here,
Elmer Miller and wife fMiss Daisy
Gibbs) of Rockingham, made. a short
visit to relatives here short while
ago.
We notice sugar Is down in market
to Is cents with chances to go to IL
wonder if lower prices will prevail
here by time the next world war will
start?
| Wonder which of the merchants
will be first to take offence at this
and stoop to- an effort at Singing
mud" while their own back yard is ST
filthy?
Miss Fife Baldwin has improved
very much in health recently.
! D. N. Buzzard has returned from
Pennsylvania where he purchased OF
of the finest farms in that state. HI
means to move there and occupy sool
A short time ago we made mel
ton that our mails ottea missed con
nection at Vanderpool but since hay
been reliably informed that arrange
ments have been made whereby gu
mail never fails to go through t
Monterey with no lay oyer-this j
entirely satisfactory with Us and W
are glad to say so.
