 'sThere are no ifs nor ands about it, y says Andy Cox, ''that road from Den yer to Green Forestis going to be built. It may not be exactly a turnpike when completed, but it will be good road, and no time is going to be lost before it is completed" Commenting at some length upon the subject, Mr. Cox told The Tribune editor Tuesday that the scheme is meeting with encouragement on every hand. Not a single knocker has yet landed on him, while donations of labor are offered from every direc- tion. One enthusiastic farmer has of fered his services with a team for ten days, if necessary. The problem now, MT. Cox declares, is how to organize and handle the proposition. It is going to take carefully laid business plans to handle the work, but if any man in the county is equal to the emergency it is MT. Cox, and we have no doubt but that he will succeed in his purpose admirably.
