Signs are multiplying that we will
nave an early winter and long one.
Inc latter part Of July while Iohn n.
Ouigley and his niece, Miss lula
Reinhart, were sitting on the porch
at their home couple of busy SOUR
reis that were laying UP their winter
provender dropped two or three wal
nuts. Mr.. Quigley examined the wal
nuts and found that the kernels were
fully formed and mature Now il IS
apparent to anyone that nature would
not mature walnutS in July, two
months before the regular time, with
out good reason, nor would the squir-
rels be busy laying up their winter
FOOD so early unless they had an idea
of what is coming. Watch out!
The trial application of oil to the
Shepherdstown-C Charles Town pike
has been finished. The oiled road ex-
tends from the edge of the corporation
OF Shepherdstown to the residence of
Harry Byers-some two miles i'm all
We are sorry to say that the road is
not as smooth as could be desired. In
places it is very rough. The oil was
not worked very much, and when the
crushed stone was applied to the oil,
heavy trucks passing over it before it
had had time to set, pulled il loose
from the foundation. 1t will have to
be given another coat Of oil and crush
ed stone before the job is complete.
However, it is a satisfaction to know
that the abominable chuck holes cease
to be and that it can be traversed with
all four wheels on the road bed.
