The bill passed the Senate Friday to
incorporate Pikeville and will become
a law in short time. This bill was
fought to finish by some of our citi-
zens, while those who favored it never
slept until it was landed. We regret
that local factions exist in our little
town, but while we have them more
or less in a business way, we hope to
see our people get together and all pull
for a better town and county. Re
member our town is what we make of
it, SO let us get together in this mat
ter if in no other, and all pull for the
betterment of Pikeville.
The leading citizens and farmers of
the East side of the valley met at the
Courthouse in Pikeville Saturday to
discuss the building of telephone
line from Dunlap to Pikeville. A COM
mittee was appointed to investigate
cost and get prices on materials. This
line is badly needed by the citizens
along the line, and Dunlap and Pike
vile should help out in this good
work, as there is very little service at
this time for either town. We will do
our part in the good work.
