The Doe Hill Road.

We ask for information IN re-
gard to the Doe Bill road. Would
the Thorny Bottom route suit the
Doe Hill neigh borhood? In COM
ing to Monterey the traveller, when
he gets to Thorny Bottom, is yet
one-half the distance of the present
route from here, and in reaching
Thorny Bottom has certainly trav-
eled 6 or 7 miles. If these figures
are correct the new road will be 2
or three miles longer than the
present one. We have heard spok-
en- of route through a deep gap
that would come out and strike the
pike near Mr.. Josiah Wilson's, and
it is said TO be shorter, even than
the present one and could be built
with less money. If the matter
has not been Investigated it GER
tainly should be.
