BEAVER RUN ITEMS

Well, if this is just the tail end of the recent blizzard, I sincerely pity the people at the other end of this monster.
That "Good Roads" movement, yes indeed! Do the farmers misapprehend? The idea seems to prevail that primarily it is to benefit the autoists, etc. It might seem narrow and old fogyish not to favor such a movement, but I think it will require pretty convincing argument to arouse much favorable enthusiasm along the Run. the fact prevails that the country people are pretty well satisfied with the roads they have if adequate labor could be put on the roads occasionally. It is not the mere fact of a legal right to run autos on the public roads against which the people protest, but the menacing manner in which they are chaffered, especially about the turns in the roads. What everybody here now wished for most is protection by law against the unnecessary, damaging and ruinous running of heavy engines, etc, on the roads when they are especially soft. The foregoing are conclusions reached from pronounced expressions of the people.
Silas Biser is still poorly; is swollen badly in the legs, arms and lower part of the body and the water sups out of his limbs freely; suffers no pain, but is distressed with shortness of breath, eats heartily.
Mrs Fannie Doman, mother of T B Doman, of Deer Park, and Mrs Fertig of Headsville, died at the residence of the latter, Friday, of pneumonia, aged 77 years. She came over here to her daughter's in Nov. Saturday, the remains were taken to Fabius, Hardy county, for interment Sun. Her husband proceeded her to the grave by nearly two years.
Since their purchase of the farm on which they live, J H Chesshire's are offering their farm, occupied by Art Tutwiler's for sale. About 100 acres of it, and if that is not enough, J W Leatherman has offered to sell a lot of his land, adjoining this farm on the north, grazing and wood land.
J H Swadley is foreman for the social Thurs evening. The "Spirit" is the subject.
I I Whipp's family have been poorly with mumps but are reported better.
Dan Bailey's young mare is quite ill with pneumonia. A veterinarian was called from Romney Tues.
The Mutual Telephone has been extended from George Biser's across the Ridge by Mr Powell's to Perry Biser's and up the run to Boyd Staggs. It is understood that Wm Orndorff's and Lowry Stagg's will also take boxes. It is the intention to extend the line to Burlington and probably up Mill Creek to Moorefield if stock should be taken sufficient to justify it. Boy Staggs will be on both the C&P and this line, so by calling him on either line he could transfer a message to the other line. Don't bother him with tattling, but he might transfer a private message in courtship. Try him anyhow when no one else is listening.
