MODEL ROAD
Being Built Between Middlesboro. Nv.
and Cumberland Gap Tenn.

The United States Govern
ment, through the Department
Of Agriculture and Department
of Good Roads, l.. w. Page.
Director, has lent the machin-
cry and has "a resident engineer
IN charge of the construction.
of "a model road over the Cum
berland Mountains, through
the Gap and connecting the
city of MiddiesbOro and the
town of Cumberland Gar.
through parts of Bell county.
Kentucky. Lee county. Vir-
ginia, and Claiborne county.
Tennessee. Middlesboro is L.
l37 feet above sea level; the
gap or pass in the mountains is
/ ,649 feet. and the town of Cum
berland Gap is ,3O4 feet above.
To overcome these differences
and not have an excessive
grade, required skill and ex-
perience, and it has been done
successfully by Mr.. Fay Nc
Clure, the engineer in charge.
The entire road has been grad
ed, part of il has been complet-
ed, and the work is now going
on.
All citizens interested in good
roads should pay a visit TO this
work, as it is most instructive.
Vehicles may be hired in either
Middlesboro or Cumberland
Gap; as the distance between
these points is only about 4
miles it is not too far to walk
and there are several trains per
day.
The money to pay for the
work was provided by the three
counties above namad, the city
of Middlesboro and the town OF
Cumberland Gap-supplemented
by citizens and corporations.

GLORIOUS FOURTH
Celebrated in Big Stone Gap by Thousands of
Peope.-Rain Interferes With Morning Sports
Afternoon Program interesting and
Attractive.
sTONECA WINS BALL CANE AND CARRIES
OFF THE GOLD.

Last Saturday was a bad day
% celebrate the Fourth. The
5ay dawned cloudy, and the
g-ouud was wet and muddy
from the rain the previous
NIGHT. Early in the morning it
commenced to rain and con
tinnrd to DO so until after
twelve O'Clock. 1t looked for a
while like no part of the pro-
gram arranged for the day
could be carried out, and the
only thing pulled off in the
forenoon was the fox chase and
pistol target match.
Notwithstanding the rain
people began TO come IN early
I'M the morning. The morn
ing trains brought large
crowds of visitors, and by ten
o'clock there were several thou
sand visitors here 10 celebrate
the Nations greatest holiday.
They sought shelter in the stores
and boarding houses. and every
one seemed TO be in "a good
humor and tried TO make the
best of the situation, though
many showed the effect of the
continued rain.
About twelve O'Clock, how
eyer and much 90 the delight
of every one. the rain ceased
and Che sun came out occasion
ally. which had the effect of
drying oh the ground for the
principal event of the day-the
bah game between the Big
Stone Gap and Stonega teams.
which was scheduled for two
o'clock. but which did not COM
mence for half "a hour later.
The result of this game must
have been as gratifying 70
stoncga as 10 was disappointing
Go Big Stone Gap. and the only
excuse that we can see for the
disasterous result for the home
Team is that the Stonega boys
outp.ay ed them TO the tune of
eleven 20 nothing; but we do
nor mean TO say that the home
team did not play ball. They
did rhe best they could under
the circumstances; they were mp
against one of the best teams
and one of the best pitchers i'm
all this section, aud they sim
ply could not prevent the re-
suit of The game. The game
was a good one-better, by far,
than the score indicates-and
was witnessed throughout by
large crowd of visitors.
Following is a tabulated rec
ord of the game:
