The Board of Directors, at the last
meeting, struck out Russell Mill from
the name of our pike. 1t was very
misleading because there is neither
a mill or Russell in our district.
1t will be known hereafter simply as
the Pea Ridge Pike.

A specimen of Frankfort dentistry
is being exhibited on the Ridge and
other parts of the county. All who
see it make remarks that are not at
all mplimentary to the dentist,
either for his intelligence, skill or
humanity. 1t lisa tooth with section
of splintered jawbone attached,
which must have caused the I'M
fortunate victim the most exquisite
torture.
All those needing dental work
ought to see this sample Of the
dentists skill and then they would
know where not to go to have their
teeth drawn
Gentle reader, this advice costs you
nothing to regard it. Disregard it and
it may cost you intense suffering and
a broken jawbone.
The killing of the unfortunate
young Daily has been principal topic
of conversation on the Ridge, and
quite curious medley of opinions
advanced. Everyone denounces set
ting death traps and thai setting the
gun that killed the unfortunate boy
was wicked, cruel and cowardly and
great sympathy is expressed for the
family "He had no business there
at that time. He could have escaped
the shot by not being there" Quite
true, but if every one in our county
was to be shot dead for being where
they had no business our popula-
tion would be decidedly slim. Mr..
Fincel took what he thought proper
precaution to protect his property,
and only those who have suffered
Al
to enter into judgement on his
action. The poor boy is not here to
speak for himself, so that if we re-
member his faults we should also re-
member his dreadful punishment
and LEAD us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil"
The directors of the Pea Ridge |
pike have been compelled, much |
against their will, to place toll gate
on the pike to collect small amount
TO keep it repaired, and all
our people who are compelled
to travel that way go through
it much against their will, but very
few travel that way. The old county
road is being used again saddles
Instead or vehicles. What change
Ave cent toll will make. For instance,
]. e. M. and Arctic used to be the
-four brands found in our houses, but
since the toll gate has been placed
Belle of Waddy and Lawrenceburg
brand have run the first two brands
out. 1t is because most Of our
people go to Bridgeport and
for supplies.
The toll to Hardinsville is the
same as it is to Frankfort, but there
8 a wideawake merchant there
Who will pay the toll of all his custo-
ners from here. There is 80 much
in this matter that no
notice will be taken of it by Frank
