To Beautify Our Roads,

A suggestion originating with G. ID.
Scully, or Pittsburg, who owns a fruit
iarm on winch he has a summer home
north OF ShepherdStown. has met with
nearly approval of residents along the
Shepherd pike, running from this town
to the Martin farm. a distance of four
miles, and they will unite. 1t is hopeSj
in carrying out Mr.. Scully's plan to
adorn and beautifv this road. Ii i.
proposed to plant shrubbery and trees
and vines and flowers along the way
and make this road, which is probabi,
the best and most popular drive in
this section, four-mile strctc
beauty that shall render il still more
attractive. The grounds of Mr.. Potts
lust north OF town. are especially beau
tlful because of the artistic setting OF
trees, and shrubbery and the profusion
OF flowers and vines, and his place
makes good point from which
work. The Ringgold and the Shepherd
places. Mr.. .Tarrett's Wild Goose far
and the Lyme and Martin farms already
nave many elements of natural beau-,
and cultivated attractions. and it is
hoped to adorn them in still greater
measure: The Lou'han and Marten
farms. the Mcdonald and Davis and
Schley homes. and other properties
starting from town and running to tho
end OF the road, can all be made more
attractive and valuable, and by Good
Grafton the Shepherd pike and the at
tractive homes along it NAV we'll be-
come famous Throughout this section,
We hope that effective plans NAV b.
put into effect for it would be an ad.
vantage to all our community to ha,c
such an improvement.
