ROAD SURVEY COMPLETED
Grade Staked and Set and Line
Is Run
FOR THE SOUTHPORT ROAD INTO CITY.

Friday marks an epoch in The history
of Mt. Pleasant which will long be re-
membered by the good citizens of this
section. The line Is run, the rights of
way are staked out, and the grade stakes
set for the Southport and MI. Pleasant
road. Since the citizens we're rendered
the road hands there has been no small
amount Of silent worry because of lots
of up hill work to do, aud now that the
rights of way are staked out, ana those
deserving damages have received pay,
there is little TO fear of fairly good sue
cess, in the early completion of the road.
There is only one change of note in the
present road bed between town and Pull
liams, and that is at Friersontown, W here
the new road will leave the old, make a
part of circle around the hill just be-
yond the town, and strike the old road
about one hundred feet west of the little
wood bridge at the foot. Here fill will
be made by cutting down the hill be-
yond TO make mild grade, and the road
will follow the present bed. just west
of the Estes farm slight change will
be made, but not leaving the present
road bed more than one hund: ed feet
or 30. Every thing points to some i'm

roads leading into and opening up one
of the best sections of the country. The
road from Marsh McKissick's place will
leave the old road and pass in straight
line through the James Benderman farm
and that of the Howard heirs at an al
most right angle, passing On tn ough

In making the effort to secure more
good roads in this section of Maury
county, Mt. Pleasant business men have
in view the building up OF their trade
and the advancement of the interests of
the people of the country around US
Very nearly every section of the county
is supplied with good road leading to
the county site, which is perfectly Just
and proper; but as Mt. Pleasant is an
enterprising and prosperous little city
itself, there is no reason why there
should not be good roads leading into
1t from every direction, if the town and
country people demand it. The broad
and liberal miEded citizen, no matter
where he may reside, should be glad to
see each and every section CT his home
county prosper. and instead of trying to
hinder the good road movement, he
should give his assistance and encour-
agement to it in every way possible.

JOHNSON CITY HAS A CHANCE.
II is Believed Here the South and Western
Will Build Through That Place.

WIN buliu lHfUuSli iHhl TluCe,
There is good news in the air for
Johnson City. 1t is now generally ad-
mitted by the South and Western ofll-
Gals in Bristol that the road will run
through that town. For some time
past it has been feared by the people
Of Johnson City that the town would
be cut out, the railroad running
through portion of Greene county
near Limestone on its way from Kings.
port to Erwin, and that the present
limo between johnson City and Erwin
would be only branch.
To all appearances, the only pre-
requisite for taking the road through
Johnson City is that the people living
between that town and Kingsport sell
the road the right of way at a reason
able figure. With the other route via
Limestone available, it can hardly be
questioned that the prices on the rights
Of way will be made an inducement to
the road.
Mr.. j. M, Ferguson, chief clerk to
Mr.. M. ]. Caples, general manager of
the s. & W., told Herald representa-
tive yesterday that there was little
doubt in his mind that the road would
go through johnson City provided sut-
fcient inducements were given. The
other leading officials of the road
were not in Bristol yesterday. Bristol

are to be asked for on both lines and
when all are secured the officials will
