Dear Sir:

in favor Of the Ray and Carroll
county commissioners selecting

county would not have a mile

called, to their landing. All of
the Ray county commissioners
wanted to cross at Wellington,

Carroll county commissioners

what they wanted. ] ann in
formed by the Ray county people
that their reason for going by

the 11a miles of sand road of un-
known depth between the Junct-
ion and the river. The route
from Richmond to Lexington via
Wellington, they tell me, is 16
miles, and not %, as stated in
the article. The article also
states that they'll have to swim
