In the immediate plans, the
two developers do not intend to
set a minimum cost of the
homes to be built in the subdi-

demand for this, they readily
point 10 their additional rolling
hills that viii provide plenty Of
room for more and more subdi-
visions as the demand arises.
I'VE feel that we are provid-
ing a real need for the orderly
growth Of Farmville." Osborn

Background
Cl00a By TAe WashingaOn star

DY MAY ], McClellans siege guns were all set to
- reduce Yorktown to pulp. Some Of the 100 or
so heavy field pieces began blasting away on that
date, the shells landing in the town and among the
earhen Notifications some Of which were the works
that had been built by the British in 17S2 to hold of
the Continental Army Of Lafayette and Washington.
McClellan's target date for all-Out assault was
May 9. At that time the Rebels would be decimated
and the road to Richmond laid open. This was Ne
Clelans plan but 1t wouldn't work out that way For
on May the Yankees, peering across noman' sland,
were dumbfounded to see the Confederate army had
faded away. Magruder had abandoned the Yorktown
lines and was moving farther up the Peninsula to
Williamsburg early capital Of the British colony Of
Virginia
The move was the second stage Of Q deliberate
plan laid by the high command in Richmond to delay
the Army Of the Potomac until the Rebel capitals
defenses could be strengthened Joe Johnston, the
overall field commander, initially had wanted to
abandon the Peninsula outright But r. Z. Lee. the
War Departments chief adviser, 0veruled the
notion So now. Johnston and Magruder were doing
their skilled best at the delaying game. outnumbered
at this point by only the immediate
battlefront.
