The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1915-09-10

stated that every member of the AS
ISOLATION was really surprised at the
enthusiasm manifested over the
County and after the first meeting all
that was necessary when a Good
Roads Meeting was wanted was to
merely give a few days notice and
they would have large attendance.
The Judge in speaking about the
project of our association to build
what will be known as the Du Pont
Highway from Beaver Dam to Cen
trail City, stated in very strong terms
that he would speak for Muhlenburg
County and meet us half way and
even if necessary come over into our
County and help inject enthusiasm
necessary to make this road sue
cess.
County Attorney, w. H. Gray, of
Greenville made a very strong talk
and agreed to back all the state
ments made by the Judge Sparks
and wound up his speech by saying:
1--WE will meet you at the River"
Mr.. Gray was followed by Mr.. H.
p. Taylor of Hartford who has prov
en- to be one of our strongest boos-
tiers of Good Roads. Every time we
hear from Mr.. Taylor, he wakes more
eloquent and puts more strength in
his arguments that everyone should
wake up to the fact that we cannot
live in this progressive age without
modern and up to date roads. Mr..
Taylor was followed by Judge Jno.
B. Wilson with some very forceful
and interesting remarks stating also
that the time was ripe for action;
that we should go to work at once to
get some results from the labors of
the Association. DR.. E. w. Ford
does not hesitate to let it be known
in very strong terms that he is
Good Roads Booster. Mr.. L. l..
Stewart, General Manager of the Nc
Henry Coal Co., proceeded in his US
ual way of using the most fowery
language that can be selected and
clearly demonstrated to the gathering
that every time he opened his mouth
he said something. Mr.. Stewart is
very anxious to assist in every way
to build the Du Pont Highway which
will go through probably two of the
mining camps in which he is inter-
ested.
After hearing all the speakers, the
Association at once proceeded to bus
mess quickly agreeing on the 9th
and 2Sth of Sept. to be road working
days. This work to apply on the Du
Pont Highway from Beaver Dam to

pected that the ladies will prepare
dinner for all of those who work.
The Locating Committee will immed-
lately go to work on this Highway
