IN NORTH Topeka
Granville Farmers Weary of
Delay in Opening Road.
Elaborate Program Arranged
for SunnySide Institute.

Farmers living along the Granville
road are getting warm under the col
lar. And the warmth under the neck
wear, they say, is induced by the I'M
certainty that awaits the Granville
road.
During the high water period last
summer, a portion of the road was
washed out. Immediately farmers iv-
ing in the vicinity of Granville circu-
lated a petition which was later pre-
scented to the county commissioners
and which prayed that the august
body in the court house replace the
lost portion of the highway. The COM
missioners looked over the lay of the
land. A dozen or more persons more
or less interested in the road did the
same thing. But for some time moth
ing was done to put the highway in
condition Farmers were meanwhile
coming to North Topeka only on alb
solute necessity or switching their
trading point to Lawrence.
A short time ago the county opened
a new road to replace the part
washed out. For a, time farmers used
the new highway when coming to
North Topeka Then it was closed.
Now the farmers want to know
whats the idea?'
