ONANCOCK CONCERNED
ABOUT IMPROVEMENTS

A meeting of the business and pro-
fessional men of Onancock was held
last week to take up several matters
affecting the town. The Government
has made an appropriation for dredg-
ing Onancock river from the wharf
to Chesapeake Bay. Realizing the nee
essity of having the branches of the
river to Poulson's Bridge, Bagwell's
Bridge and Buckles Bridge dredged
also, they adopted resolution asking
Congressman Bland to back the pro-
ject. With the large amount of bus
mess coming into the town by water
and the number of pleasure crafts
owned there, the dredging of the
branches of the river is a necessity
in order that there will be sufficient
deep anchorage for the boats and
a place to allow large boats using
the harbor to turn around.
1t was called to the attention of
the meeting that the plans for the
armory had been approved but that
the town authorities needed the help
of the citizens of the town in MAIN
tanning the building. The American
Legion, Business Mems Association
and National Guards have pledged
themselves to cooperate with the town
authorities in securing the necessary
funds for the maintenance. The town
has to provide for lighting and heat
ing the building.
A committee composed Of Messrs.
I. w. Bagwell, Hyslop Mock and J.
w. Bundick was appointed to assist
with the work in connection with the
harbor project.

in a corn shock on the farm of Mr..

Being in weak physical and men

her bed and watched day and night
by her husband and sons. On Thanks

were searched near her home and the
police in both states were notified by
Sheriff Bennett to be on the look
out for her. All hopes of finding her
around Edesville were practically
abandoned and Sheriff Bennett while
