NEW ROAD TO TEMPLEvILLE
Maryland Highway Department Will
Build Concrete Road From Barclay

Maryland Highway Department Will
Build Concrete Road From Barclay
The one mile of concrete road, that
has caused so much stir in Queen
Annes county and has caused several
delegations to go before the County
Commissioners, has finally been 10
Gated, says the Centreville Record.
At a meeting held last week in Balti-
more it was decided to place this
mile of road on the road from Barclay
to Templeville. 1t will join the con-
crete road now being built from Ingle-
side to Sudlersville by way of Barclay.
With this mall stretch of hard sur
face road starting from Barclay to-
ward Templeville, a beginning of tax
ing Templeville out of the mud will
have started. In all probability, as
the road contracts are placed each
year, and the county is building more
roads, a new section will be added to
this road and in the course of a short
time the residents of Templeville and
vicinity will have a good all the year
road. Crumpton and Queen Anne are
now the two places that will need at
tentiOn. Just how many miles of road
the county will be able to build each
year cannot at this time be ascertain
ed, but with the aid of the State and
Federal Government roads from
Crumpton and Queen Anne should be
started. The allotment each year
could be divided among the three

Mothering a brood of kittens while
awaiting the arrival of a convoy OF
chicks from the eggs upon which she
is sitting is the newest fad of the
poultry world, as exemplified by ar
ambitious hen owned by Auctionee1

Centreville. The mother cat is per
mitted by the hen to occupy portion
of the nest at will. While the her
was enjoying a brief vacation from
the job of keeping a nest of eggs
warm, the Seward cat crawled int
the nest, and there was visited by thu
stork. The hen on her return pro
ceeded to take the kittens literally un
der her wing. Friday the kittens
eyes were open, and their first view o
the wide-wide world was a glimpse o
feathers instead of fur. In a few
days the chickens will begin to breal

William O'Neill, a neighbor. MIR.
O'Neill said he went to the house and
asked Marroni what he meant by
frightening the girls. Marroni was
quoted as saying he had no intention
of soaring them.
When Mr. and Mrs. Huhtonen re-
turned home they said they found
Marroni there. He took the clip out
of the gun and was showing it to
them, they said. On pulling the trig-
ger, a shot was fired, going into the
floor. Marroni testified he did not
think there was a shot in the barrel
at the time, it evidently having
slipped in when he was removing the
clip.
Two character witnesses for the de-
PENDANT were put on the stand They
said he was q peaceful citizen but
sometimes partook of liquor.

or OF Mcwade and stoner. the Wild

during the next day or two. As a

that he had acted wisely in yielding

as no unfolded his plans Ia greater

respect. The idea seized them n.
naIly. In the first place. Il watts
sufficiently fantastic TO appeal 10

Gray n lone wolf with the courage
and the forccity 10 single out and
pull down the leader OF the herd.
and. what was more. they scented
profit 10 themselves In trailing with
him. Then. too. the enterprise
promised TO afford free scope for
their ingenuity. their cunning. their
devious business methods. and that
could be nothing less than pleasing
to men OF their type.
But early enough he made Il
plain that he intended and would
tolerate no actual dishonesty: crook.
ed methods were both dangerous
and unsatisfactory. he told them.
hence the fight must be- fair even
tho merciless. To annoy. 20 harass.

she must like him. no must have

fortunate. in view OF her relations
