German people read it in Swiss pa
pers, and then learned that President
Paul Won Hindenburg had sent Won
Papen telegram Of congratulation.
Immediately after this incident
Count Rudolf Nadolny announced his
resignation as German ambassador to
Russia. This was the first detection
from Nazi government ranks since DR..
Alfred Hugenberg resigned as minister
of agriculture and economics in June,
1888. Nadolny's resignation is attrib-
uted to his failure to persuade Chan
cellor Hitler to accept Russias pro-
posal for non-aggression pact. The
count is close personal friend of
President Won Hindenburg.
Late dispatches from Berlin say Hit
Ter has rejected Won Papen's offer to
resign and has made a temporary
truce with him. Both Of them ar
ranged to confer with the President
at Neudeck, but not at the same time.

HOOKED RUGS COMING
INTO MUCH RECOGNITION

With the recent rather widespread
revival of interest in handicrafts, none
offers a more delightful pasttime for
winter occupation than that of max
ing hooked rugs, says Miss Florence
Mason, District County Home Demon
stration Agent for the University of
Maryland Extension Service. The
small, adjustable frame and hook nee
.essary to carry on this work are both
simple and inexpensive to make and
can be readily made at home. Any
old, discarded materials around the
house will serve as filters for the
rugs.
According to Miss Mason, interest
in hooked rug making has taken new
lease on life and one-day meetings
are being held by the Extension Ser
vice in various counties in the State
for the purpose of giving instructions
Quite large number of women have
signed up for these meetings.

CONCRETE POURING SOON
TO BEGIN ON NEW ROAD

Grading work on the Mt. Vernon
road is just about completed and. on
Saturday and Monday the contractors
in charge of this project moved their
concrete mixing and pouring mach
inery to the job.
Announcement has been made that
they expect to start pouring concrete
this week, bringing to an end rumors
that the road would not be finished
this year.
The Westover-Princess Anne road
has been completed, with the except
ion of the shoulders and work will
90 forward on this phase of the work
as rapidly as possible.
The Mount Vernon road, when COM
pleted, will give to the people Of that
section sufficient hard-surface road
to enable them to reach Princess Anne
in the worse weather. Last year
it will be recalled, tractors and trucks
were stationed on this highway at
the point where the new road is to be
built, in order to pull cars and other
vehicles out of the mud. This will be
done away with when the concrete
is laid on the new stretch of highway.
The Westover-Princess Anne road
eliminates several bad curves between
here and the Cross Roads, and short
ems the distance to be Travelled by

ACCEPTANCE OF SITE
FOR ONANCOCK'S OFFICE

Final acceptance by the post office
department of the hotel property in
Onancock, on which is to be erected
new post office building has been re-
ceived by the officials of the First
National Bank of Onancock.
Thus, a further step is taken to-
ward giving Onancock a new Federal
building which will be one of the fin
est in the country for a town with
Onancock's population.
The old hotel will be sold and re-
moved from the lot Immediately and
the trustees Of the First National
Bank of Onancock will sell this his
toric old building at public auction,
to the highest bidder, on Wednesday,
November Fl. In the advertisement
appear in the News last week it is
stated that the purchaser would have
until January 1, 1885 to remove the
buildings from the premises. The
price paid for the property was &c.
10000.
Notice, according to officials, was
given Mrs. Florence Clark, the pres
emit manager of the hotel, Of the sale
of the property, and Mrs. Clark will
vacate the building soon. Her plans
have not been made public.
In behalf Of Mrs. Clark, it must
be cited again, that she has done ev-
erything possible to serve the travel
ing public and the town well during
her proprietorship.
The final settlement in the sale of
the property was temporarily held up
owing to a six-foot right-of-way be-
tween the building occupied by the
News and the hotel property. At first,
the Washington authorities insisted
upon the purchase Of this right-of-
way, but finally accepted the property
without the additional land.

EASTON EXPECTS INCREAS-

Mayor Wrightson is giving much
thought to the probable increase Of
traffic through Easton by way of the

assuming, as those conversant with the
real Importance of the bridge do. that
there will be a considerable increase
in traffic through Easton when the
bridge is built.
At the present time lot of the
down Shore traffic to Matapeake does
not come through Easton but through
