MAY. BUILD A ROAD
CITIZENS ow HALLAs AND AUTAU-
 GA CONFER.
They Plan . Permanent Turnpike From Selma To Autaugavflle-News of The Central
 City.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Oct. 22.
 If the plans decided upon today at a conference of citizens and ofhcials of Dallas and Autauga Counties do not miscarry, Selma and Mulberry in the latter county will be connected by . turnpike road before many months have elapsed.
 This morning, on the bridge across Mulberry Creek, about eleven miles from Selma, the conference was held. Autauga County was represented by W. J. P. Jones, e member of the Board of County Commissioners, and seven or eight other citizens interested in the movement. Dallas County was repre- sented by Probate Judge P. H. Pitts and Commissioners Smith and Phillips; by W. T.. Atkins, Chairman or the Good Roads Committee of the Com mercial and Industrial Association. and one of his associates, J. Tepperi and by five or six citizens of Dallas of the Burnsville neighborhood.
 Plans for building the road which will give direct communication into the heart of Autauga County were dts- cussed and 1t was tentatively agreed just what should be done, subject, of course, to the ratification of the Com missioners Courts of the two counties. The plan in brief comprises the huild- ing of a turnpike road by Dallas County from the city limits to Null berry bridge; the building of similar road by the County of Autauga from the foot of ~the hill a mile from the bridge to Mulberry post office. and the center of -utauga County; the build ing of the mile of road from the bridge to the hill, throuhg the muddy bottoms, by private subscriptions. from the peo- pie of Autauga County, Selma and along the road, Messrs. Atkins and Tep- per agreeing to see that such a sum was raised; the City of Selma to grade and gravel the sand bed from the city limits to the Southern Railway shops.
 If these plans are carried out one of the best turnpikes of the State will be built and maintained and it will mean vast saving to the farmers of this section and will be mutually benefi- cial to Selma, Dallas and Autauga Counties.

the cowboy band, won the heart OF
the vast assemblage, the result Of q
vote was plainly ~foreseen, and the
Garden city withdrew in5favor Of Miles
City. SO the herds from every town in
the state will trek to that place when
the big roundup is held next year.
j. M. Burlingame Of Great Falls was
elected exalted ruler Of the state or.
