Dixie Highway Association
A tour Of inspection over the east
ern division Of the DIXIE HIGHWAY

will be made by the officials Of The
Dixie Highway Association, leaving

vidihg the counties Of Rockcastlc,

borne and Union county, Tennessee,

natl alone could be secured to make
the tour through Kentucky and Ten
