The Huntingdon Fruitland Road

Word comes from Huntington that
the Fruitland- Huntington Hard Road
association did some excellent work
last Tuesday on the road connecting
those places. On that day II farmers
put in good days work on this road,
claying about $50 yards of the way;
The workers were A. P. Rinck and
sons. Alfred and Carl, and double
team of mules; Paul Barlow and dou--
BILE team of mules; P. B. Jones and
double team of horses; Otto Meier
and son, julius, and a colored man
with horse and wagon; Max Meilzer
and two sons, horse and wagon; HUI
90 Meier with horse and wagon; Mr..
Tirrel with horse and wagon who
made 30 loads; Joe Jones with horse
and wagon; John Rinck and son Joe
with horse and wagon. J. P. Warn
was not able to come himself, but sent
his man. All this help is greatly ap-
preciated by the people of all this sec
ton, and the association is hoping
for an even larger turn out next time.
This is a road the county should have
built long ago: it traverses an old and
rich and beautiful section and with
the proper road the country would de-
velop.
