Lake Weir to meet the good roads
committee sent out by the Jackson
vile board of trade to report upon a
route for the continuation of the ma
tional highway, which has been locat-
ed by the joint efforts of the New
York Herald and Atlanta Journal,
which has been agreed upon as far
as Live Oak, and from Live Oak to
Jacksonville.
Now, the question is, what route is
it to take on down the peninsular from

The committee of the Jacksonville
board of trade went from that city to
ST. Augustine, Upland, Daytona, San

1t is thought hat oIo route will be
selected for the downward trip and
another for the return "trip, thereby
making a circuit of the peninsular, or
as nearly so as possible
