CITIZENS OF
GREEN COUNTY
Favor a Pike From GreenSburg
to the County Seat Of Adair.

Greensburg has the opportunity of
her life. This opportunity ought to be
taken advantage of now and turn the
tide of affairs. Columbia, our progress
i've and high toned little neighbor, is in
distress and it is up to us to go at once
to her relief. This relief can, ought to
be, must be and it has got to be offered
to her by the citizens of Green county
and Greensburg.
Since the bridge over Green river
burned, Columbia is in the middle of a
mighty bad fix so far as convenience is
concerned. There is no Ferry at the
river and when the river is high the
merchants have lot of trouble getting
their goods to Columbia. They have to
come by Greensburg, and these old
Green county roads are bad thing to
offer our neighbor in her trouble. They
are the best we have, but that does not
satisfy the teamsters who have been
hauling four thousand pounds of freight
to Columbia over the pike. They look
mad, muddy and Disguised with their
little loads of one thousand pounds
leaving our depot. We do not know
what these teamsters say about us
when they get over to Columbia with
their teams and wagons loaded down
with our good rich soil that they have
picked up on the way, but we can i'm
agine that the Fiscal Court and the
Overseers are touched up to a lively
tune.
Now what must be done? The Iner-
chants here must and have got to head
the list with big subscription for a
pike to be built at once to the Adair
county line and by the time we get there
Columbia will have been there waiting
for us with her end completed Now
why not begin this right now and go to
work? Delay is hard on Columbia and
disastrous to Greensburg. 1t cuts both
ways.
Adair county citizens are fine fellows
and their teamsters are good looking
and their wagons are big and deep and
their teams are fat and it looks good
to see them on our streets. We like
them since they have been paying US
few visits. We want all of them to
come over with their big wagons and
let our Green county teamsters see that
they have fine teams and they do not
look tired and that by the size of their
wagon beds they have been hauling big
loads.
The only way to keep them coming
over here is to bait them with a good
road and they will bite right along, be-
cause these men appreciate good road.
We have lots of room for them in which
to feed their teams and we will give
them hearty welcome for every meal.
Who will start the move?
We are informed that a citizen of
this county will take up the matter of
circulating paper for free turnpike
to the county line. He will also build
half mile of the road free. This
looks like business and we hope our
people may become enthused to the
working point. Green County Record.
