IroRed Out Their Troubles

The matter Of the location OF the
intercounty seat highways in the
county has at last been settled, and
work will now be pushed along all the
roads as fast as possible.
The Forsyth Ozark road will be To-
Gated over the new road built west Of
town, using the bridge across Swan
creek and going up the bluff about a
hall mile west oil the bridge and then
north 10 the county line. The Forsyth.
Galena road will follow the same route
to the top Of the hill west OF town and
then take of through Walnut Shade
and out that way through the north
west part oil the county. The Forsyth
Ava road will 90 over the hill east Of
Forsyth up through Dickens and Tan
eyville TO BtadIeyville and on TO the
Douglas county line, while the For
syth- Gainesville road will 20 east from
Forsyth along the road to Kissee Mills
crossing Beaver at that place and then
on through Protein to the Ozark coun-
ty line. The road south 10 the State
Line will 90 by way Of Kirbyville and
Holister, and down the ridge route to
the state line.
The county is to be congratulated
on the settlement Of the difficulties
that have been TO the front in the
past, and the county highway Board,
composed oil NJ. E. Bird, George
yesterdays and J. W. Reese, together
with J. G. Root and Chas. H. Groom
Of the old highway board deserve great
credit for getting together in friendly
manner and settling the questions that
we're in dispute. Messrs. Groom and
Root have made several trips to JEFF
ferson City at their own expense to
confer with the state highway engineer
en- the road question, and one or two
OF the commissioners oil the Forsyth
Special Road District have also made
trips 10 the capital with this end in
view.
The Forsyth special road district is
to pay the big end Of the cost Of
bridge across Swan at the mouth Of
Blue creek and assist in the construct
ion Of road from Helphrey school
house to the head Of the Hodge Hol-
low while the Tsneyville special dis
trict will assist in this work on the
bridge and also the county will con
tribute to the cost Of it.
We are glad that the matter has
been settled and hope now Tor some
roads in this part oi the country that
can be travelled in any kind Of weather.
