terday morning , finding him to he
insane and lie will be taken to Nor
folk. The man wore long hair
which had heen braided and tied up
on top of his head but was badly

ing was old , dirty and greasy and
very ragged He appears listless
and answered no questions and
would not talk , not even to tell his
name until afternoon yesterday

clothes and after repeated question
ing he said in a mumbled tone ,
scarcely audible , "Joe , " in reply to
the question oft repeated , "what's
your name ? " Shook his head when

} oads pf cinders \\pre used in ths
work which Air Lyman , the road
master , furnished to Mr. Foster
for the hauling and also had tile
section men fill his wagon from the
cars near to the crossing , making
only a short haul and enabling him
to do a lot of work in a day. Mr.
Foster proposes to keep on with
this grading on Main street from
Railroad lo Catherine street if he
can get the cinders. Last year he
made a narrow grade of cinders
on Catherine street between Main
and Cherry street and proposes to
continue with this work this year as
Catherine street is a main thoro-
fare where there is more hauling
and travel than on any other
street in our city , as everybody
coming to town comes in or goes
out on Catherine street , excepting
a little travel on Virginia street.
We are glad to see the Main thoro-
fares of our city improved and
hope to see much needed work
done this coming spring , continu
ing the cinders.
