There is a great deal of talk of
the pike going over Gauley noun
tain and join the Laurel county
pike near the mouth Of Parker's
creek. This route would go thru
the upper end of the town and
miss the rest of the town. We
thought this a joke until recently
but have found there is something
in it. The bonds we're voted
with the understa nding that the
pike come thru the town. There
is and has been some oissatisfac-
ton over the pike any way. But
what trumps us, is to build the
pike until they strike the edge of
the town and then leave US even
off the right.Of-way and go about
eight miles further. We have
petition asking that the pike come
through Livingston, and nothing
short of this will satisfy the peo-
pie. So come on with your pike
through Livingston and you will
satisfy the people here, otherwise
you will not give our people what
they want or what they deserve,
or what they voted for We see
no reason why Rockcastle should
have TO build six or seven miles
Extra pike over the toughest part

as good grade over Wildcat as
it is over Gauley and about SIX

fun now and then is relished by
5he best of men, and We have a
yarn We have known for a few
lays which We are dieing to tell,
so here goes: A certain merchant
IN this county went to Louisville,
md landing at Tenth and Broad
way depot, wished to 60 to
the Enterprise Hotel. He started
'ut foot to hunt the place. After
travelling until almost IL O'Clock
md not getting any closer, he
inally met a man o. the side walk
ind asked him to tell him the
way to the Enterprise Hotel The
nan gave him the fnllowing infor
nation: Go down Broadway four
block, then up third street; but
our friend said: Hold on, l an
from the Sedge grass country anG
lon't know anything about ave
uues, streets and block. Just tel
me which road to take and where
1t forks and I will find the place.

the sympathy of the entire com
munity, as this is their second lit

three months, and it seems tha
they are having their share 0
trouble. It Is said that troubl
never goes single handed. Blu

parents, the good book say:
, BLESSED are the little chlldre
that die in the Lord -. Weep no,
for there is one consolation, tina,
: you can meet them beyond tn
!. grave; where death can never er
! ter and partings never come.
