county will spend $4,000 on the improve
ment Of a single road within the next
four months This was definitely decided
yesterday by the Walker court of county
commissioners in conference with W.
s Keller, state highway engineer. The
road to be built is Walker county's di-
vision of the Birmingham-Jasper high
way, which extends from Jasper to San
ders ferry, where steel bridge has been
recently completed.
Plans have been developing for some
time to construct this proposen road and
the Walker county plans were laid before
State Highway Engineer w. S. Keller
yesterday, who approved them and stated
he would send to the county corps
of engineers for the purpose of locating
the route between Jasper and Sander
ferry, the point where it will touch th-
Jefferson county division of the road.
1t is understood that road will be built
by contract methods, the county issuing
warrants TO pay for the work Bids will
be advertised within a few days. The
work of grading the road will be started
at an early date in order to have it
completed by next fall.
Walker county has Just completed 20
miles of clay road between Jasper and
Corona, which will be extended through
Fayette county to Columbus, Miss. This
road has been graded within the last Il
months and is complimented by those
who travel over it. Local road builders
expect FaYette county to grade mod
ern highway from the point where this
new road will touch the Fayette county
line through Fayette towards Columbus.
Another road movement Is being
launched which, 1t is stated, will ma
terialize within the next - months. 1t is
proposed to build a good highway from
Jasper, an extension of the Birmingham
Jasper road, to the Marion county line
and parties in that county are planning
to extend the highway through Marion
to Tupelo, Miss. 1t is stated that an so
mile extension of the road from Jasper
towards Memphis will give an unbroken
highway from the Mississippi to the gulf
in Florida.

VETERANS AT SOLDIERS HOME
OFF FOR CONFEDERATE REUNION
BY w. p. THOMPSON

Mountain Creek, May 24.-tSpecial.)
Promptly at the dawn of tomorrow
morning the old veterans started for
the three days festivities at Chatta-
nooga, May 27-2s-29.
That some few of the veterans who
participated in the battles around Chat
tanooga so years ago and showed Up
well then in the front rank and "on
the firing line" and who received
scratches and broken linbs by com
ing in contact with Minnie balls. shrap-
mel and shot and shell fired from fed
eral forces, are not doing so well in
the race that is on today.
Some are handicapped by penalties
such as crutches. arms minus full
lengths and other wounds received
at Missionary ridge, Lookout mountain
and formidable distractions thrown up
by Rosecrans, assisted by Grant, on
the last lap to check the confederat te
thoroughbreds who were defending the
battle flag of the south.
Today these old heroes are not loaded
down with 40 rounds of ammunition and
three days rations as they were SO
years ago; but they are loaded with
good cheer and fond hopes of visiting
scenes where, after half century, they
are permitted by Him who rules and
decides all earthly destinies to return
and view the resting place" now occu-
pied by comrades who fell while facing
the enemy.
Their old wrinkled faces are wearing
smiles that indicate happiness when
they meet and recognize 'one of the

Their thoughts when their dim eyes
meet those of the pretty maids of honor

has interviewed between them and now
to recollections when tears-lke drops
of water from an approaching storm
kissed the lips of the fair daughters
who wished them well in the struggle
that was threatening during 1S61-5.
Yes, the few old veterans who are
physically and financially able, have
started for Chattanooga, not to fight,
but to frolic.
The 20 years and over has not, as
yet. thinned out all of them. There are
some left who at the age of 20 and un-
der, "shouldered arms to do battle for
their homes, sweethearts and sisters
And how pleasant it is now to know
that men who when they We're boys
are remembered kindly by the people

not the busy locomotive with its

Since the memorable years referred to
