The improvements being made
from time to time at Clayton by
the Railroad Company presents a
very substantial appearance. All
the water holes and low places
about the station are being filled
with oyster shells about six inches
deep. The carriage road over the
Delaware & Chesapeake r. r.
where it was low and wet during
the rainy weather has been filled
up solid with shells. They were
brought from Oxford, Md, at a
small expense and make a most ex-
cellent and favorable fill. The ap-
pearance about Clayton don't look
as though it was going to be loop
ed in to Smyrna, very soon by
either a quadrant or semi-circu-
lar railroad.
