Richard Kirchner. better known to
his friends as Uncle Richard" re-
Gently paid $40 for a kiss, which we
believes breaks all records in the his

of Baltimore, visit and was about
TO leave. when he asked his grand
daughter, Hazel" a little miss of
four summers 10 kiss him good bye
Hazel said, NO ] will not kiss you
unless you buy me that automobile
down the street" Uncle Richard said
again in coaxing voice. Come on,

little miss again retorted NO, you
have 10 buy me that automobile down
the street" Uncle Richard turned
slowly to his son Ralph and asked,
What is the price OF the automo-
bile?" Upon being informed that the
said automobile would cost approx
mately sixteen dollars Uncle Rich

The Good Roads Association con-
vened al Rural Home" on Saturday
evening and was called TO order
promptly at s o'clock by the chair
man, Robert F. Novel; The meet
ing turned out TO be the most en-
thusiastic and we might say pep
perry one thus far held. 1t is plainly
evident that the members of this or
ganization are determined to have
good roads and will go the limit in
demanding from the county and state
the just recognition of their claims
in behalf of this community. The
chairman reported that during the
past week members OF the Associa-
ton had put shells on approximately
of one hundred and eighty dollars,
which We consider a splendid show
ing. At this rate the Association can
build a mile of road for thousand
dollars. Why does it cost the county
many times this amount to build a
mile of shell road? The Association
is determined to prosecute with vigor
the good work and there will be a
! large number of two-horse wagons
on the job next week.
The oystermen of Shady Side and
vicinity proved their metal Friday
| by breaking a track for over a mile
through the heavy ice from Parish
! Creek TO the open waters of the bay
1t took the combined efforts of the
whole feet comprising about twenty
! five boats of every description to
complete this arduous work. Not
withstanding the fact that a half a
day was consumed before the open
water was reached, our sturdy oys-
termen proceeded TO the oyster rock
and made splendid catches OF the de-
! licious bivalves. for which they re-
ceved reward commensurate with
! the effort involved in the undertake
! ing.

A great many people follow the
ancient custom of making good resO-
lutions on New Years Day. This is
an excellent practice not only for
New Years Day. but will apply with
equal merit for every day in the year.
A good resolution is a seed planted in
fertile soil and if well nurtured will
grow into a thrifty tree. yielding
abundantly of its kind 1t is our
wish for the readers and the Editor
of the Weekly Advertiser that all
their good resolutions will be kept
and bring forth abundant results.
