GOOD ROAD FROM
 CONWAY 10 HEBFR ACITATED IN CLEBURNE
JUDGE VINSON PLANS TO BUILD FAULKNER
 LINE.

VI 'oiiiS ihoiItIiS tlle CiIlZenS or I1o- her Springs and vicinity have been az ltating the construction of a good road from that point to the Faulkner couu- ty line, and thence over Faulkner county roads to Conway. An organiz- ation has been effected and several hundred men have promised to donate their services in building the road or July 12.
 So far no steps have been taken to join in the movement in this county. Although the road from Quitman to Conway is one of the best in Faulkner, 1t can be considerably improved in many places, and it is thought proba- ble that citizens of this county can be enlisted in this work
 The following interesting communi cation from County Judge M. E. Yin son of Cleburne county, relative to the good road, appears in the Heber Springs Headlight of June 2:
 "Mr. Howell and myself have gone over the proposed road from Heber Springs to the Faulkner county line by way of Pearson and Quitman, that is, we have made careful examina- tlon of the road from this place to the town of Quitman and have made note of what is to be done The overseer of this district covering teh part of the road from Quitman to the Faulk- ner county line informs me that the part of the road beyond Quitman can be graded by him in one day with his grader and few hands and teams in days time, and that he will dc that part of the work before July 12 The work to be done lies between the railroad crossing southwest of this place to the corporation line of Quit man.
 q received the assurance of the overseer of Cadron township that about 300 men will respond to the call from that township on that day. have the assurance from good men al Pearson and Quitman that the people from those places will be on hand to do all they can. What will Heber Springs and this road district do? Lets get busy and find out.
 "J. N. Barrett, J R. Baker, c. C.. Howell, Dr. F. c. Richardson and my self of this place and J. E. Bettis of pearson have examined the road from Heber Springs to Pearson and it is n,y idea after hearing from the others that it will be best to build the road along the right-of-way of the railroad from the crossing above this place to the foot of the mountain. The cost of building and maintenance will be less ener materially. We can do this if the right-of- way can be secured. It is also decided that by changing the road a little, good road can be secured up the mountain at small cost, compar- atively; and that the steepest place will be on grade not to exceed ter per cent, and only two short place. will reach that maximum. If such result can be obtained should we not get busy in arranging details for this work?
 'We need money to pay to cut the right-of-way on the new part of road: to pay for material to remove stumps, districts are not able to buy and which we must have, and to pay for a few good stone culverts. l have already expended S5 in going over the road and getting the data needed, and am willing to pay my part of the amount needed for the above mentioned items. feel sure that the business men of this place will do their part. l hope that the board of trade will get to- gether at once and put out committees to arrange for the work at this end of the line. I am ready to cooperate at any and all times Committees should be appointed to collect and eXpend the funds above mentioned.
 Remember, this appeal is to al! parts of the county. We will come your way, and for that reason you should come and help us. Remember this work is to be donated. It is to be given. No one will be forced to come and work; and no one will be wanted on the road who is not willing to work. No one will be given any credit on road time for the work of that day. We are going to donate on this oc- casion because it is a matter of i'm portance to US.'
