A movement is on foot to put a new steamer on the Pocomoke River to ply between Muddy and Messongo Creeks, Virginia, and this town. The capital stock of the company will be $3,000, and it is hoped that at least one-third of the stock can be secured at the Virginia end of the route. Those who have the movement in hand have met with considerable encouragement at both ends of the proposed new line, and it is thought the project will prove a success.
