Snow Hill, Md., Aug 11, 1892:

In 1885 it was suggested that a canal from the Pocomoke River to Sinepuxent Bay be constructed by the government.The object was to give a route to the people along Sinepuxent Bay to get to Baltimore without having to go 'outside' and to connect Ocean City by steamer to Baltimore.

STEERIE, of GENERAL SMITHS department, came to Snow Hill yesterday to make.
